Charity cuts ties with Sarah Ferguson over message to Jeffrey Epstein
Children’s hospice says it is ‘inappropriate’ for duchess to remain a patron after she called Epstein a ‘supreme friend’
A charity has severed ties with Sarah, Duchess of York, after it emerged she had described the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein as a “supreme friend”.
A spokesperson for the duchess has previously said the comments were made in a letter of apology to Epstein that was written in 2011 to head off threats of legal action after she had linked him to paedophilia in a newspaper interview.
