Sarah Ferguson took daughters to visit Jeffrey Epstein before crude email

Sarah Ferguson reportedly kept her ties with Jeffrey Epstein strong despite his imprisonment.

The former Duchess of York reportedly took her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to meet Epstein back in 2009.

At the time, the convicted sex offender had just got out of prison.

In new email from Epstein files, the now deceased is spotted speaking to his lawyer, Paul Tweed.

He mentions that Sarah "should affirmatively state that she was misquoted". The email reportedly said: "[Sarah] took apartments in New York. She was the first to celebrate my release with her two daughters in tow. She visited me with [a] policeman sitting at my front desk. She has asked for help with her charities."

Meanwhile, a source close to Fergie reveals no recollection of meeting Epstein during the time.
