In a mortifying new twist from the latest Jeffrey Epstein files, Sarah Ferguson—the former Duchess of York—casually tossed out a crude remark about her then-19-year-old daughter Princess Eugenie, replying to the convicted sex offender: “Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!”
The 2010 email, sent years after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a minor, reveals Ferguson casually referencing Eugenie’s private love life while discussing travel plans with the disgraced financier. The blunt, vulgar language has left royal watchers stunned and sparked fresh waves of disgust, dragging the princess—now a mother herself—into the scandal through no fault of her own.
Sources close to Eugenie and her sister Beatrice describe the family as deeply mortified and aghast at the revelations, with the sisters reportedly feeling betrayed by their parents’ continued ties to Epstein. As outrage builds over these intimate, inappropriate glimpses into royal correspondence, what other family secrets might still lurk in these explosive files?
In a mortifying new twist from the latest Jeffrey Epstein files, Sarah Ferguson—the former Duchess of York—casually tossed out a crude remark about her then-19-year-old daughter Princess Eugenie, replying to the convicted sex offender: “Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!”
The July 2010 email, part of the massive January 30, 2026, document release by the U.S. Department of Justice, was sent while Ferguson and Epstein were discussing travel plans and possible meet-ups. The blunt, vulgar language—using British slang for a weekend of sexual activity—has left royal watchers stunned and sparked fresh waves of disgust. Princess Eugenie, now a married mother of two, was dragged into the scandal through no fault of her own, her private teenage life casually referenced in correspondence between her mother and a man already convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008.
The remark appears in a brief exchange about scheduling. Ferguson had been vague about her availability, prompting Epstein to press for details. Her reply was flippant and unfiltered, revealing a startling level of comfort in discussing her daughter’s personal life with Epstein at a time when his criminal history was public knowledge. The casual tone stands in jarring contrast to the gravity of Epstein’s crimes and the protective instincts one might expect from a parent.
Sources close to Princess Eugenie and her older sister, Princess Beatrice, describe the family as deeply mortified and aghast at the revelations. Insiders say both sisters feel betrayed by their parents’ continued ties to Epstein long after his conviction. “It’s one thing to read about Andrew’s involvement,” a family associate told reporters on condition of anonymity. “But seeing their mother casually mention Eugenie’s private life to that man—it’s humiliating. The sisters are heartbroken and furious.” Eugenie, who has maintained a relatively low profile since marrying Jack Brooksbank in 2018 and welcoming two sons, has not commented publicly. Neither has Beatrice.
The email adds to a growing body of correspondence that paints a troubling picture of Ferguson’s relationship with Epstein. Earlier messages show her calling him “the brother I have always wished for,” describing him as her “pillar” during her 2010 “cash-for-access” scandal, and even floating ideas of working for him. The latest release has intensified scrutiny on why she maintained such open, familiar contact with a registered sex offender years after his guilty plea.
Buckingham Palace has remained silent, consistent with its long-standing policy of distancing the working royals from Ferguson’s controversies. King Charles III, who has already stripped Prince Andrew of titles and public roles over his own Epstein links, has not addressed his former sister-in-law’s messages.
The revelation has reignited public outrage over the Epstein files, with victims’ advocates and commentators decrying the casual way powerful figures discussed personal matters with a predator. Many question what other family secrets—financial, personal, or otherwise—might still lurk in the thousands of still-redacted or sealed pages. The heavily censored documents have frustrated survivors and their families, who see selective disclosure as continued protection of the elite.
For Princess Eugenie, the damage is collateral yet deeply personal. A private moment from her youth has been weaponized in a scandal not of her making. As the files continue to trickle out, the question looms larger: what else remains hidden, and how much more pain will these explosive disclosures inflict on those caught in Epstein’s long shadow?
