Breaking News: Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson Axed from Four Charities Amid Epstein Email Scandal The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has been removed as patron of four charities following the emergence of an email from 2011 where she referred to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as her "supreme friend". The charities in question are Julia's House, a children's hospice charity; the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, which supports food allergy research; the Children's Literacy Charity, which helps disadvantaged children improve their literacy skills; and Prevent Breast Cancer. This decision comes after an email from 2011 was released, where Ferguson referred to Epstein as her "supreme friend". The charities have cited this association as the reason for removing her patronage. Ferguson has been married to Prince Andrew since 1986, but the couple divorced in 1996. Her association with Epstein has raised questions about her judgment and character. The Duchess of York is not commenting on being asked to step down from Julia's House. Further comment from her representatives has not been received. This decision will likely have significant implications for Ferguson's public image and reputation. The charities involved have stated that they will be seeking new patrons in the coming weeks.
