Six charities have dropped the Duchess of York as a patron or ambassador after an email from 2011 emerged in which she called sex offender Jeffrey Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her public criticism of him.
Julia's House, a children's hospice charity, was the first to remove Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, saying it was "inappropriate" for her to continue in the role.
Later on Monday, the Teenage Cancer Trust, Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the Children's Literacy Charity and Prevent Breast Cancer also announced they had dropped the duchess as patron.
The British Heart Foundation also said she would no longer be the charity's ambassador.

At a campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on October 30, 2024, former President Donald Trump stated that he would "protect" women "whether the women like it or not". He made the comments while recounting a conversation with his campaign aides.
Feel safe now?

(9,520 posts)How many people were duped by Epstein? Sarah is just another one of them. Being associated with Andrew has made her a victim, too.
