LONDON (AP) — The charity founded by Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, is shutting down following the release of emails showing the depth of her friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Sarah’s Trust, which focused on improving the lives of women and children, said it will close for the “foreseeable future,’’ following the revelations in latest documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Ferguson is the ex-wife of the former Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles due to his own links with Epstein.

“Our chair Sarah Ferguson and the board of trustees have agreed that with regret the charity will shortly close for the foreseeable future,’’ the trust said in a statement late on Monday. “This has been under discussion and in train for some months.’’

Emails released on Friday revealed that Ferguson remained in contact with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. In the email exchanges, Ferguson referred to Epstein as a “legend’’ and “the brother I have always wished for.’’

1. The British take Epstein seriously while here in the USA

no Republican has the backbone to say a word about Trump.

2. How could they?

With two young daughters at home! Disgusting.

3. She was acting to "protect her brand"

when she publicly denounced him but apologized in private. In this world, for some "protecting the brand" is supposed to be an acceptable excuse for all manner of heinous behavior.



Ironic that she's more impacted than his "best friend" of ten years.
