Sarah Ferguson Is Listed In The Epstein Files Days Before Prince Andrew's Arrest

It's no secret that today, people can't stop reading about and looking for updates on ex-Prince Andrew's arrest that happened earlier today. There's a lot of information that still has to come out, but for right now, his arrest was related to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and through their relationship, suspicion of misconduct in public office. Additionally, the disgraced royal has been famously sued and accused of assaulting and harassing underage women during his time with the fiancée.

 

As the story develops, and the public awaits answers on what the future holds for him, people are also turning to his ex-wife, the mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, whose name also appeared in the release of the last of the Epstein files last month.

 

In email exchanges shared by the Department of Justice, Sarah asked the late offender if she could work for him, admitting that she needed money.

 

"But why I don't understand, don't you just get me to be your House Assistant," she wrote in 2010, 14 years following her and Andrew's divorce. "I am the most capable and desperately need the money. "Please, Jeffrey, think about it."

 

Earlier that year, she had sent a previous email calling Epstein a "legend," thanked him for his "generosity and kindness," and even wrote, "Just marry me."

Social Media Reacts To Sarah's Emails To Jeffrey Epstein

The email sent by the 66-year-old was shocking for many, as while some suspected she may have had ties to the famous criminal, others didn't realize just how far she had gone and how much she idolized him, judging by the tone of her emails.


On social media platforms like Instagram, once the news came out about her "desperately" asking Epstein for work, users sounded off in the comments section.

 

"You can hide, but eventually all secrets come out," commented an Instagram user.

 

"Wow," added another. "The sister-in-law of the king of Great Britain and the Commonwealth. How times change."

 

One user called the former royal "Shady Sarah" as another added, "Let the world see who is truly rotten."

 

Some social media users also pointed out how they felt the scrutiny Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were facing was not fair, as all this time, other members of the royal family had a lot more wrongdoings under their belts.

 

"I've always believed the ethical ones end up scrutinized the hardest, while others quietly get protected," commented a user. "It's frustrating to watch. I've consistently felt that Harry and Meghan were being unfairly targeted."

 

"Harry knew about this and got his family out!" added another. "And Brits had a problem with Meghan? Big ups, Harry."
