Sarah Ferguson is alleged to have taken Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to have lasagne with Jeffrey Epstein, less than a week after he was freed from jail for child sex crimes.

Epstein had just served a year behind bars for soliciting a child for prostitution before making a ‘sweetheart’ deal for his freedom when the former Duchess of York reportedly made a visit in July 2009.

Beatrice and Eugenie would have been just 20 and 19 at the time of the lunch in his Palm Beach mansion, where he was ordered to live under house arrest.

Epstein emailed Ghislaine Maxwell, on July 28, 2009, and said: ‘ferg and the two girls come [sic] yesterday’.

Ms Ferguson herself was seen to email Epstein the day before to arrange the visit, writing: ‘What address shall we come to.

‘It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie. Are we having lunch?’

Emails seen by the Telegraph show the disgraced paedophile served vegetable lasagne prepared by a Parisian chef to the then Royals.

Years later, Ms Ferguson emailed Epstein to congratulate him on the birth of a ‘baby boy’ shortly after he was released from jail in 2011.

‘Don’t know if you are still on this BBM, but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,’ he wrote.

‘Even though you never kept in touch, I am still here with love, friendship and congratulations on your baby boy. Sarah xx’

King Charles will strip his younger brother Andrew of his royal titles and long-term residence on the Windsor estate, the palace said on October 30, 2025, the latest fallout to hit the scandal-plagued royal over the Jeffrey Epstein affair. "Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor," the palace said, adding that Charles had begun the formal process to strip the titles from his brother.

Epstein isn’t believed to have any children, but the newly unearthed email has called that into question.

If the bombshell email from Ferguson is true, Epstein’s son would be around 14 years old. It’s unknown who the mother would have been.

More than 100 people have claimed to be Epstein’s children, with a founder of a DNA firm suggesting that there is a ‘reasonable’ chance the paedophile fathered a child, or even be a grandfather by now.

A website, called Epstein Heirs, was set up in 2020 and saw more than 130 people come forward, fearing they were related to the serial predator.

Harvey Morse, founder of DNA Firm Morse Genealogical Services, which set up the website, said: ‘Jeffrey Epstein was sexually promiscuous for so long that there is a reasonable chance he may have fathered a child.’

Other damning messages sent to Epstein from Ferguson were revealed over the weekend, including one where the former Duchess told Epstein to ‘marry her’.

Ferguson wrote to Epstein: ‘You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe my love and gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.’

Just months after he was released from prison in 2009, ‘Fergie’ allegedly visited Epstein in Miami with her two daughters, when they were 21 and 19.

Another email to Epstein in 2009 saw Ferguson call him ‘the brother I have always wished for’ and say she was ‘so proud’ of him.

Days ago, Ferguson’s ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was pictured crouched on all fours over a woman in new Epstein files.

The three pictures show a man believed to be the disgraced former duke looming over the woman, who is lying sprawled on the floor.

He stares directly into the camera in another scene and places his hand on her abdomen in the third.

The photos show him wearing a white polo shirt and jeans. Someone else can be seen sitting with their feet up in a leopard-print chair behind them.

The pictures have no captions, and it is unknown when or where they were taken, nor who took them.

Elsewhere in the document dump, screenshots and scans appear to show the former prince exchanged emails with Jeffrey Epstein about a ‘beautiful’ Russian woman and invited him to Buckingham Palace.

Andrew previously claimed to have cut contact with Epstein after an investigation was launched in 2006, only getting back in touch to end their relationship in person in late 2010.
