Duchess of York wrote to ‘friend’ Epstein despite claims she had cut ties
- Leaked emails reveal Sarah, Duchess of York, apologised to Jeffrey Epstein in April 2011, describing him as a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend".
- This correspondence occurred weeks after she publicly disavowed Epstein, stating she would "never have anything to do with" the convicted sex offender.
- Her spokesperson clarified that the Duchess sent the email to "assuage Epstein and his threats" after he allegedly threatened to sue her for defamation.
- The Duchess had previously expressed deep regret for her association with Epstein, apologising for accepting £15,000.
- The email reportedly indicated she was "bedridden with fear" and "paralysed" by advice to avoid contact, fearing further problems for herself and "the Duke".
