Charity drops Duchess of York as patron over leaked Epstein emails
- The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has been dropped as a patron of the children's charity Julia's House.
- This decision followed the emergence of leaked emails reportedly showing her apologising to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
- In the 2011 email, Ferguson allegedly called Epstein a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend," despite publicly disowning him weeks prior.
- Her spokesperson stated the email was sent to "assuage Epstein and his threats," claiming he had threatened to sue her for defamation.
- Julia's House, a hospice in Dorset and Wiltshire, deemed it "inappropriate" for her to continue in the role, given the information shared.
