Sarah Ferguson was OBSESSED with Jeffrey Epstein! So much so, she visited him TWICE while he was still in prison for child sex offenses! WTF?!
As Perezcious readers know, the embattled businessman first went to prison at Palm Beach County Stockade in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2008, serving 13 months of an 18-month sentence, for soliciting prostitution, including from a minor.
While locked up, Jeffrey secured a work release, allowing him to leave his cell for up to 12 hours a day. To do so, he established a fake firm called Florida Science Foundation, which had an office on 250 South Australian Avenue.

In May, Roza, one of Epstein’s estimated 1,200 victims of sexual abuse, alleged to Congress that Epstein offered her a job at the foundation while he was jailed — and he abused her at the office. Horrific.
Jeffrey had several visitors to this office during his prison sentence… including the former Duchess of York!
That’s right, Fergie allegedly visited the office twice during her pal’s sentence. According to The Telegraph on Friday, she messaged him on April 4, 2009, asking if she could stop by for “a quick cup of tea” during a layover in Florida. This was nine months into his sentence. She would’ve been WELL aware of the crimes he allegedly committed. And she still wanted to see him!
And she didn’t just want to see him — she acted like nothing had changed, signing off playfully:
“Love Sarah The red Head.!!”
Epstein replied with the phone number and address to the office, noting it was “ten minutes from [the] airport.” Two days later, he followed up to say she looked “great” and that he’d read “everything you gave me.” She reportedly gave him docs about the Mother’s Army initiative, an online network she created the following year to help connect women in need.
Five days later, the ex-royal wrote to the convicted sex offender:
“My dear spectacular and special friend Jeffrey. You are a legend, and I am so proud of you. Thank you for looking after me so well.”
She made more plans to visit Jeffrey the next week for lunch on her way to Canada from Grenada, but the plans feel through. The mother of two emailed three times about meet-up plans on April 20, 2009. In one message, she said she wanted to spend an hour together “for a brainstorming of your genius ideas.” His assistant scheduled the visit in his calendar. Epstein was also set to meet his sex addiction therapist at the office that same day.
On the morning of the planned visit, Sarah emailed to cancel, saying:
“Aaaaghhh… Cannot make the flights”
That said, she was able to visit him a second time the next month. She called Epstein from the UK on May 5, 2009, then visited him at the office on May 13, 2009. Epstein’s driver even picked her up from the airport, seemingly along with her Chief of Staff at the time, Martin Huberty.
Sarah and Jeffrey continued to email about her Mother’s Army initiative for several months, and in June of that year, she sent documents to the fake office. She’d go on to bring her young daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie with her to see Jeffrey just months later when he was placed under house arrest in July 2009.
Sarah and ex-Prince Andrew would later publicly distance themselves from Epstein, though we know now that was never truly the case. Instead, she was privately begging him to marry her and getting spoiled by his riches every chance she could. CRAZY! Why did she turn such a blind eye to his behavior, especially when he was already imprisoned for it!? Ugh.
Reactions?! Does this story change your mind about how you view Sarah’s friendship with Epstein? Sound OFF (below).
