Some emails in the latest release appear to be between Epstein and Sarah Ferguson, Andrew’s ex-wife.
One email dated 4 April 2009, was signed “Love, Sarah, The red Head.!!”
It says that she was going to be in Palm Beach and wanted to have tea. The email goes on to discuss ideas for Ferguson’s company, Mother’s Army. The former Duchess of York refers to Epstein as “My dear spectacular and special friend Jeffrey”.
She calls him a “legend” and says “I am so proud of you”.
Also in 2009, another email exchange shows the then-Duchess of York enthusiastically update Epstein on potential opportunities for her business brands and books.
“Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for,” one email says.
The following year, another email from “Sarah” to Epstein is overflowing in affection: “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness,” she writes.
“Xx I am at your service . Just marry me.”
The financier was still under house arrest for his 2008 conviction when the email exchanges were sent.
A few years later, in September 2011, there are more messages. The email address is redacted, but they are signed off by “Sarah” and mention “The Duke”.
The sender congratulates Epstein on the apparent birth of a child:
“Don’t know if you are still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger] but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,” the first email says.
“Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship and congratualtions [sic] on your baby boy. Sarah xx.”
A follow-up message is then sent to Epstein eight minutes later.
“You have disappeared,” the email says. “I did not even know you were having a baby. It was sooooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew. And that really hurt me deeeply. More than you will know.”
It has never been publicly confirmed that Epstein had children.
