This week has seen Sarah Ferguson once again find herself at the centre of a scandal after her shock email to billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> was made public.<\/p>\n After Epstein’s deviant criminality came to light in 2011, the Duchess of York<\/a> told reporters she would “never have anything to do with” the sex offender again. But just days later, it has emerged that she emailed him and ‘humbly apologised’ for her comments.<\/p>\n As a result, she has been dropped as charity patron for seven organisations. But where does the live her with the Royal Family<\/a>? After years out in orbit following another string of scandals – including pictures of her having her toes sucked by ex lover John Bryan – the ice had recently started to thaw and Fergie had been welcomed back into the royal fold. Indeed, after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a mastectomy, she and King Charles<\/a> – who is receiving ongoing treatment for cancer – had a shared bond.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Prince William and Kate Middleton pay tribute to Southport victims with subtle accessory<\/a>READ MORE: Meghan Markle receives offer to host her own radio show in the UK<\/a> However, former BBC<\/a> royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that the apparent friendship between the Duchess of York and Epstein could be \u201ctoo much\u201d for King Charles<\/a> to handle, especially given Prince Andrew\u2019s alleged connection to the late financier.<\/p>\n Bond told the Mirror<\/a>: \u201cI think Charles will be in despair over this. He has tried to be a decent ex-brother-in-law and include Sarah in family gatherings, after her years of exile. He has undoubtedly felt a kindred sympathy over her cancer problems and, in Sarah\u2019s own words, he has been kind. And now this. I can just imagine him with his head in his hands saying to himself: ‘I’ve done all I can, but this really is too much.'”<\/p>\n Jennie said that while Charles may be struggling with emotions over the Yorks after these allegations, she believes that Prince William<\/a> will not have such difficulties.<\/p>\n \u201cI think William has always been more suspicious about allowing Andrew and Sarah back into the fold,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I suspect he will now be extremely reluctant to share even private family occasions with either of them.\u201d<\/p>\n Bond also told the iPaper<\/a> that given the spate of serious allegations against both Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, their very presence at events may threaten to destabilise the public\u2019s view of the Firm \u201cThe Duchess has become a toxic brand, just like her ex-husband\u2026 There is undoubtedly more to come about the Yorks\u2019 association with Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, and the whole tasteless tale still threatens to contaminate the monarchy,” she said.<\/p>\n \u201cI cannot see how any member of the Royal Family<\/a> would want to be seen in public with the Yorks again. It was awkward enough at the Duchess of Kent\u2019s funeral last week, when it was blindingly obvious that William wanted nothing whatsoever to do with his uncle or aunt.\u201d<\/p>\n While senior working members of the Firm may be considering their public relationships with the Yorks, Bond added that for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who have stayed loyal to their parents throughout years of scandals, the latest twist must be deeply upsetting.<\/p>\n \u201cAs for Beatrice and Eugenie, anyone with a heart must surely feel sorry for them,” she added. “It seems they have had to witness their parents\u2019 public humiliation time and again. And that must be incredibly hard when you love someone.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that Sarah has been a brilliant mother to her girls, and they will protect her and love her through thick and thin. And that\u2019s just as well, because this really is worse than anything Sarah has been through before. And I fear there is more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the inside scoop on the monarchy with Mirror Royal<\/p>\n WHATSAPP GROUP: <\/strong>Be first to get the biggest royal bombshells and exclusives to your phone by joining our Royal WhatsApp here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
