Shocking Letters from Sarah Ferguson to Jeffrey Epstein: 'Marry Me'

Newly unsealed documents from the U.S. Department of Justice reveal the contents of correspondence between Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to papers published on Friday, in January 2010 Ferguson wrote to Epstein: «Just marry me» — six months after his release from Palm Beach County jail, where he served time for soliciting prostitution from minors.

This message, according to media reports, was among millions of records related to the disgraced financier.

In the letter, Ferguson called Epstein a «legend» and wrote: «I really have no words to describe my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.» The context of this message is not explained in the documents.

Other letters indicate that Ferguson offered Epstein and his associates VIP access to British royal sites. In June 2009, while Epstein was still incarcerated, she assured him she could arrange «anything» after he asked to set up a «VIP tour» or «access to something special» in London for the daughter of his lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

The correspondence apparently mentions possible access to Buckingham Palace, though it is unclear if such a visit took place.

In another message from September 2009, Ferguson again broached the topic of marriage, suggesting Epstein marry a woman with a «great figure,» adding: «Okay, then marry me, and we»ll hire her.«

Beyond the marriage jokes, the new documents shed light on Ferguson«s continued communication with Epstein after his conviction in 2008. The papers also indicate that Epstein tried to force her to publish a statement that he was »not a pedophile« and that she had been »misled« by false accusations.

Among the files is correspondence with someone labeled as «Sarah,» whose email address is redacted, as well as discussions with others about «Fergie.» The documents indicate that «Sarah» is Ferguson.

In March 2011, Epstein asked publicist Mike Sitrick to «draft a statement that in a perfect world Fergie would release,» days after Ferguson expressed «deep regret» over her connections to him in a newspaper interview.

The following month, «Sarah» wrote that she «did not call» and «will not call» him «P» and that she acted to «protect her brand.»

Epstein also told others in 2009 that «Fergie said she could arrange a tea party in the apartments of Buckingham Palace or at Windsor Castle.»

After his release, Epstein asked if there was a «chance that your daughters would say hello» to a certain person in London in July 2010. Ferguson replied: «Beatrice is in London with her father. Eugenie is away with a cool guy.»

Other messages show that Ferguson thanked Epstein in August 2009 for «being the brother I always dreamed of» and wrote that she had «never been so touched by a friend»s kindness.« In April of the same year, she called him »my dear amazing and special friend Jeffrey« and a »legend,« adding that she was »so proud« of him.

All this correspondence took place after Epstein«s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from minors.
