Just how successfully has Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York distanced herself from financier and convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein? A recently leaked email would suggest that she hasn’t done enough. Despite apologising to the public in 2011 for taking money from the disgraced financier, a mistake she called a “gigantic error of judgement,” the latest email from the Duchess of York reveals that just six weeks later, Ferguson wrote to Epstein calling him a “steadfast” and “supreme friend” suggesting that she may not have ended her friendship with him at that time after all. In this True Royalty Original, host Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by royal historian, Andrew Lownie, author of the unauthorised biography, ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York’ and royal commentator, Sarah Hewson, to consider whether this latest scandal will be the Duchess of York’s ultimate fall from grace.
