Sarah Ferguson says she’ll ‘never go back to the US’ after Epstein link
An insider has revealed that Sarah Ferguson is nervous about returning to the United States because of her connection to the Epstein files.
Ferguson, the former wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was mentioned dozens of times in the files and sent many messages to the paedophile.
In a release in February, Ferguson wrote to Epstein: ‘You are a legend.
‘I really don’t have the words to describe my love and gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.’
Another email to Epstein in 2009 saw Ferguson call him ‘the brother I have always wished for’ and say she was ‘so proud’ of him.

A source told the Daily Mirror that Ferguson has now made it clear that she will ‘never set foot in America again’.
‘She is deeply worried about the reaction she would face, whether from Epstein’s victims or scrutiny from Congress,’ they said.
‘She feels it would be unbearable and does not want to be put in a position under oath where she would be asked not only about Epstein but also about Andrew.’
Just weeks ago, lawmaker Suhas Subramanyam asked Ferguson to testify to the US Congress about Epstein and disclose further information, which she denied.
Since Ferguson isn’t from the US, she has no obligation to appear for a summons in Congress.
Subramanyam previously asked Mountbatten-Windsor if he would appear before Congress, which the disgraced prince also ignored.
‘After hearing from Epstein’s victims and public reporting of leaked documents, it is vital that Andrew cooperates with the ongoing investigation,’ Subramanyam said in November.
‘If he is innocent, then he can clear his name. And if not, our investigation will show that, and the victims will receive long-overdue justice. The Royal Family’s actions stripping Andrew of his titles show there is more to this story.’
Both Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have denied any wrongdoing.
In previous file releases, Ferguson’s ex-husband, Mountbatten-Windsor, was pictured crouched on all fours over a woman.
Elsewhere in the document dump, screenshots and scans appear to show the former prince exchanged emails with Epstein about a ‘beautiful’ Russian woman and invited him to Buckingham Palace.
Mountbatten-Windsor previously claimed to have cut contact with Epstein after an investigation was launched in 2006, only getting back in touch to end their relationship in person in late 2010.
