More than three million pages of documents were shared by the US Department Of Justice for the long-awaited Epstein files last week, and it has revealed several alleged emails between Sarah Ferguson and Jeffrey Epstein.
The former Duchess of York appeared to have had a close friendship with the convicted sex offender, who died by suicide while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges back in 2019.
More shocking revelations have since emerged as people have been making their ways through the bumper release of files - though it must be noted that being named in the files is not an indicator of wrongdoing.
Alongside a range of high profile names, such as Bill Gates and US President Donald Trump, is Fergie's ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, who features in the new batch of documents.

Here is everything that was revealed from Ferguson's alleged correspondence to Epstein, as seen in the files.
Just days after Epstein was released from jail in 2009, it's alleged that Ferguson took Princess Beatrice and Eugenie for lunch with Epstein at his Palm Beach mansion, where he was under house arrest.
The documents allege Epstein emailed Ghislaine Maxwell, on July 28, 2009, saying: "Ferg and the two girls come [sic] yesterday".
Ferguson appeared to email a day earlier to check their plans, querying: "What address shall we come to. It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie. Are we having lunch?"
In July 2010 Epstein also emailed asking if the girls were free to 'say hello'.
Ferguson later appears to apologise to Epstein that 'the girls were not around this weekend'.
She allegedly wrote: 'Shows I don't crack the whip when I am not in the country! Actually Eugie was in France and Beatrice was out with Dave."
It was always thought that Epstein did not have any children, but in one 2011 email, Ferguson wrote: "Don’t know if you are still on this BBM, but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy.
"Even though you never kept in touch, I am still here with love, friendship and congratulations on your baby boy. Sarah xx."
If this is true, Epstein's son would now be around 14 years old.
She then allegedly sent a follow-up email, where she expressed disappointment she had not heard from him. "You have disappeared. 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 deeply, more than you will know."
Ferguson appears to become increasingly desperate in many of her emails, and repeatedly seems to tell Epstein how important he is to her.
In July 2010, she seemed to email saying: “Have you died on me ? Don't.. Please you are my pillar..”
"I am feeling very traumatised and alone. I am wanting to work for you at organising your houses. I am in the south of France," she added.
"You are a legend," the former Duchess allegedly rote. "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."
On 17 September 2009, she apparently wrote him an email suggesting she had found a suitable partner for Epstein: “You can marry her too. She is single and a great body. Ok well marry me and then we will employ her.”
She then allegedly went on to call him 'the brother I have always wished for'.
In some other private emails, Epstein and his team were working to have Ferguson retract her public statement she made distancing herself from him.
She told the Evening Standard on 7 March, 2011 that she was sorry for accepting £15,000 from Epstein: “I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf. I am just so contrite I cannot say.
"Whenever I can, I will repay the money and have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again."
These new emails seem to confirm she did not stick to this.
In March 2011, Epstein emailed three others including his publicist, saying: "I think Fergie can now say, I am not a pedo."
He insists: “She was DUPED into believeing [sic] false stories.”
Publicist Mike Sitrick said he had a way to 'get newspapers to stop calling you a pedophile' and one was to get 'Fergie to retract'.
An email came from an account titled 'Sarah' to Epstein a month later insisting she 'did not' and 'would not' call him a 'P', and said her decision to speak to the press was to 'protect my own brand'.
