He also wanted her to say that she had been “duped” into believing false allegations about him, according to the emails. The emails also reveal that: In March 2011, Epstein asked publicist Mike Sitrick to “draft a statement that in an ideal world Fergie would put out”. Epstein told others “Fergie said she could organise tea in Buckingham Palace apts.. or Windsor Castle” in 2009. After he was released from prison, Epstein asked “Sarah” if there was “any chance of your daughters saying hello” to an unnamed person whilst they were in London in July 2010. “Sarah” replied saying: “Beatrice is in London with her father. Eugie is away with a cool boyfriend.” In August 2009, “Sarah” thanked Epstein for “being the brother I have always wished for” and she has “never been more touched by a friends kindness”. In April 2009, “Sarah” emailed Epstein calling him “my dear spectacular and special friend Jeffrey” and a “legend,” adding that she is “so proud” of him. The exchanges are all dated after Epstein was convicted in 2008 for prostituting minors. Read more:
