Fergie Jets to Miami with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie – Just Days After Epstein’s Jail Release
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, sparked shock after flying to Miami with her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, a mere 48 hours after convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was freed from jail. Newly leaked emails expose the controversial July 2009 trip.
Epstein’s assistant Lesley Groff emailed on July 24, 2009, asking permission to book flights from Heathrow to Miami, returning via New York. The Epstein Files reveal business class tickets for Fergie cost a staggering $9,244, while economy seats for Beatrice and Eugenie added up to $4,835.
“Do I have your permission to purchase these tickets!?” Groff asked Epstein. The timing of the visit is damning — just two days after Epstein served 13 months for soliciting underage girls. It’s unclear who footed the bill, but Fergie and her princesses made the trip regardless.
Fergie’s Shocking Marriage Proposals to Epstein
In a jaw-dropping twist, emails show the Duchess repeatedly suggested Epstein marry her after his release. On September 17, 2009, Fergie wrote, “You can marry too. She is single and a great body,” before adding, “Ok well marry me and then we will employ her,” hinting at hiring staff through the arrangement.
Epstein Shelters Fergie During Royal Scandal and Media Storm
Documents expose Epstein’s continued support for Fergie, arranging accommodation during her US visits—offering a second stay in July 2010.
After a tabloid sting captured Fergie apparently accepting £500,000 to grant access to Prince Andrew, she turned to Epstein for help. In an email, she called him her “pillar” and said she felt “totally on my own now,” battling a brutal British press and the Palace.
“The Palace couldn’t behead me so will discredit me to obliteration,” she wrote, referencing the fate of Henry VIII’s wives. “I am 1000 per cent being hung out to dry,” she added, predicting a media exile.
At the time, PwC accountants were auditing her finances. Fergie later revealed in an Oprah interview that she nearly faced bankruptcy and was living in a room at Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge. Bombshell reports later revealed Epstein had cleared some of her debts—a gesture Fergie later branded a “gigantic error.”
