Other emails released in the files show Ferguson speaking warmly about Epstein, including messages sent after he complimented her in front of her daughters.
In an email dated August 3, 2009, Ferguson wrote: “In just week, after your lunch, it seems the energy has lifted. I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me in front of my girls.
“Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for.”
Strained Family Relationships
It has previously been reported that Beatrice and Eugenie distanced themselves from their parents—particularly their father—following earlier fallout from the Epstein scandal. Now, it is believed that similar distance may extend to their relationship with their mother.
Both Andrew and Ferguson have been forced to leave their former home at Royal Lodge. Andrew is reportedly living at Marsh Farm, while Sarah has been making her “own arrangements.”
There had been speculation that Ferguson might move into a granny flat at Beatrice’s Cotswolds property, but that offer was later withdrawn.
“Beatrice knows for the sake of her kids her future lies with the royals and it’s why she backed out of renting her mum their granny flat,” a source told Woman’s Day last week.
“With more awful stories coming out, she has to put her own reputation first and give their kids a respectable chance at life.”
