“This has been under discussion and in train for some months.

“We remain extremely proud of the work of the trust over recent years. We have partnered with over 60 other charities in over 20 countries, providing education, healthcare, crisis response and environmental projects.

“We delivered over 150,000 aid parcels during the COVID pandemic, provided medical aid and training for those affected by the war in Ukraine and delivered education for over 200 children in Ghana.”

Business Links to Epstein

US Department of Justice documents have also revealed that, following his child sex offence conviction, there were discussions about Epstein acquiring a majority stake in Ferguson’s women’s empowerment brand.

In 2009, Ferguson launched a year-long initiative to create Mother’s Army, a personal brand intended to “help amplify the voices of mothers all over the world to tackle some of the tougher issues facing young people and families”.

An associate of Epstein reportedly emailed him outlining plans for his potential involvement in the venture.

As scrutiny intensifies once again, Sarah Ferguson appears to be weighing her next steps — seeking both financial stability and a path back into public life, while attempting to navigate the lingering shadow of her past associations.
