Newly unearthed emails show Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, begged Jeffrey Epstein to upgrade her flight just hours before she jetted off to New York. The request came days after Epstein’s 2009 prison release.
Duchess’ Office Asks Epstein to Foot the Bill
The Daily Mail revealed how Ferguson’s team contacted Epstein within hours of his July 2009 release, asking him to “graciously” pay for her trip. Epstein had been released after serving 13 months of an 18-month sentence for soliciting prostitution and was on probation.

At the time, Ferguson was battling bankruptcy. Despite this, she planned a trip to visit Epstein in New York with her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Fancy Flights and High Demands
Emails from Epstein’s house manager, Lesley Groff, reveal Ferguson’s aide—believed to be Amanda Lewis—coordinated the pricey journey. Requests included upgrades for the princesses from economy to club class while the Duchess travelled business.
