  • True Royalty Original: Fergie - Downfall of a Duchess
    Oct 23 2025

    How close did Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, remain to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — even after publicly cutting ties? This True Royalty Original uncovers newly leaked emails suggesting that their connection may have lasted longer than she claimed. From her 2011 apology for accepting Epstein’s money to her later words calling him a “steadfast” and “supreme friend,” we explore whether the Duchess truly distanced herself from scandal.


    Hosted by @llewelynbowen, the discussion features royal historian Andrew Lownie (author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York) and royal commentator Sarah Hewson as they examine whether this latest revelation marks Sarah Ferguson’s ultimate fall from grace.
