King Charles may soon be forced to make a difficult decision as the latest revelation regarding Jeffrey Epstein has come to light.
The monarch could be forced to ban brother, Prince Andrew, and ex-wife and mother of Princess’ Beatrice and Eugenie, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York from private royal events, following fresh information regarding the and the paedophile.
This comes as Julia’s House, a children’s hospice’ issued confirmation of their decision to drop the Duchess as a patron due to “correspondence” discovered between the 65-year-old and Epstein.
In the emails, from 2011, Sarah can be seen apologising to the sex offender for disassociating herself from her “supreme friend,” when it had emerged he had bailed her out financially.

She allegedly confessed to the action as a means to save her career as a children’s author, the Express reported.
Prior to this email correspondence, the Duchess had said in an interview that her involvement with Epstein had been a “gigantic error of judgment.”
A spokesperson has since said that Sarah had only sent the emails after Epstein made threats to sue her.
As a non-working royal and Andrew’s former wife, King Charles has no power to control what she says and does – both publicly and privately.
While Sarah was “persona non-grata” while Prince Philip was alive, Queen Elizabeth – who died in 2022 – did allow her to accompany her family to estates such as Balmoral or Sandringham when he wasn’t around as a gesture of kindness towards Beatrice and Eugenie.

Sarah and Andrew wed in 1986 and separated in 1992 – before officially divorcing in 1996.
