Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, has been dropped by multiple charities after the revelation of an email she sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2011, where she called him a 'supreme friend' and apologized for his threats.

Organizations including the Teenage Cancer Trust, British Heart Foundation, Prevent Breast Cancer, and others have ended their associations with Ferguson, citing concerns over her connection to Epstein and the reputational risk involved.

Ferguson’s continued patronage was deemed inappropriate by some charities, such as Julia’s House, due to her communication with Epstein, while others like Prevent Breast Cancer and Natasha Allergy Research Foundation simply decided to sever ties despite her past support.

The scandal has significantly damaged Ferguson’s public image, with commentators describing her as potentially 'toxic' and her reputation as 'reputational napalm,' which could have long-term effects on her career and financial stability.

Despite the controversy, Ferguson and Prince Andrew, who also has links to Epstein, have maintained their residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor and have appeared publicly together, including at a recent funeral.

Epstein’s death in 2019 was officially ruled a suicide, but numerous conspiracy theories persist due to his associations with high-profile figures like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Bill Gates.

Ferguson, who divorced Prince Andrew in 1996, has reinvented herself as an author, media personality, and charity supporter, and remains close to her ex-husband, living with him at Royal Lodge.

Her longstanding patronage of the Teenage Cancer Trust, which she supported for 35 years, has been compromised, and her other charity roles, including the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation and Prevent Breast Cancer, have also been affected.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, called Ferguson a 'frenemy' and accused her of having a 'thing for him,' while Epstein’s victims, including Virginia Giuffre, continue to seek justice amid allegations involving Prince Andrew.

Ferguson’s health issues, including a recent diagnosis and treatment for malignant melanoma, have also been in the news, occurring shortly before the death of Epstein’s accuser Virginia Giuffre.

Prince Andrew’s own contacts with Epstein have come under scrutiny, with leaked emails indicating he maintained contact with Epstein as late as 2015, despite claims of ending communication in 2010.

The charities cited concerns over her association with Epstein, describing her as 'toxic' and warning about the potential damage to their public trust and funding, especially after her public apology.
