The paedophile financier was told that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife wanted to hold a summit at their Windsor mansion in September 2010, a year after he was released from prison
Jeffrey Epstein claimed Sarah Ferguson was considering ‘going bankrupt’ and asked for his help ahead of crunch talks at Royal Lodge when she was in financial difficulty, emails suggest.
The paedophile financier was told that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his former wife wanted to hold the summit at their Windsor mansion on September 1, 2010
Emails show the former duchess had been called in for a meeting by her ex-husband. She emailed an unidentified person asking for their help, saying: “Cannot do this without you.”
That person forwarded the email to Epstein, asking: “F writes me below. It’s better if I do NOT go, correct? PA says its up to me.” ‘F’ is believed to be Sarah Ferguson, nicknamed Fergie, and ‘PA’ is thought to refer to the former Prince Andrew.
The message from Fergie reads: “Can you come down to Royal Lodge on sept 1st .. Wednesday.. To a big meeting of the way ahead of ME! Prince Andrew is calling it for 10.30am and then lunch afterwards.
“I would really need your help, not just then, but maybe we can talk today, tomorrow. I am worried I need a ceo to run me.. Cannot do this without you.”
Epstein replied to the email from the person, instructing: “Ask Andrew what he wants.. she said they might suggest her going bankrupt. when i spoke to her last week. I think you need to go. otherwise, she will go after you.”
The messages are among the three million documents relating to the disgraced financier that were released by the US Department of Justice on January 30.
The emails also revealed Andrew went cap in hand to his paedo pal to settle a debt of $126,721 owed by his ex-wife to her PA. The files showed money-spinning schemes for Fergie were also a frequent topic of conversation between the shame ex-Royal and Epstein.
One email discussed Vladimir the “Russian billionaire” who “will finance everything” while Andrew suggested selling Nigerian oil to China for which his ex-wife could “make around $6million” in another, described by Andrew’s aide David Stern as “very fishy”.
Fergie’s charity Sarah’s Trust last week announced it will close “for the foreseeable future” just days after new details emerged about her friendship with convicted child sex offender Epstein.
The emails in which Epstein was discussing her financial affairs were sent a year after he was released from prison after serving 13 months of an 18-month sentence for soliciting sex from a minor.
Ferguson also seems to take aim at the UK press and Royal Family in an email from July 2010, the year newspaper reports said she had offered to sell access to Andrew.
