Sarah Ferguson dropped from multiple charities over Epstein email

Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, has been dropped from multiple charities following the revelation of an email exchange with the late Jeffrey Epstein. Seven charities, including the Teenage Cancer Trust, have removed Ferguson as a patron or ambassador. The decision to remove Ferguson from these organizations comes after an email surfaced in which she requested Epstein's assistance in securing a loan. This association with the disgraced financier has led to concerns about Ferguson's suitability as a representative for these charitable organizations. The charities have stated that they have a responsibility to maintain the trust and confidence of their supporters and that Ferguson's connection to Epstein has made her position untenable. This move is seen as a response to the ongoing scrutiny and controversy surrounding the Duke of York's own relationship with Epstein. The incident highlights the importance of maintaining ethical standards and transparency within the charitable sector, as well as the consequences that can arise from associations with individuals embroiled in controversies.
