Background:
In March 2011, it was made public that Duchess Sarah had accepted £15,000 from convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Soon after, she gave an interview:
- "I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf. I am just so contrite I cannot say".
- And promised to "have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again".
In Sept 2025, an April 2011 email was leaked from Duchess Sarah to Epstein, where she apologized for what she said in the interview and called him a "steadfast, generous, and supreme friend."
The Monday after the email was leaked, Patronages began to drop Duchess Sarah due to her links with Jeffrey Epstein.
