Sarah Ferguson's charity shuts down amid Epstein links
03 Feb 2026


A spokesperson for author Sarah Ferguson's charity organization, Sarah's Trust, has announced its closure.

The decision follows new revelations by the US Department of Justice about her friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A spokesperson for the charity said that this decision was taken "with regret" and after "some months" of discussion.

Charity's achievements


The charity, which was established in 2020, has been dedicated to supporting frontline work to address humanitarian and environmental crises.

The spokesperson added that they were "extremely proud" of their work over recent years.

"We have partnered with over 60 other charities in over 20 countries, providing education, healthcare, crisis response and environmental projects."


Seven charities have previously cut ties with Ferguson
Patronage revoked


Sarah's Trust was closed after seven charities, including the Teenage Cancer Trust and a children's hospice, severed ties with Ferguson over her links to Epstein.

The latest release of files related to Epstein included pictures of Ferguson's ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, kneeling over a girl lying on the floor.

Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing.


Emails between Ferguson and Epstein were also released
Email exchanges


The recent release of files also included emails from Ferguson to Epstein.

In one email, she asked him for advice on starting her business, Mothers Army.

Another email from 2009 saw her thanking Epstein for "being the brother I have always wished for."

In a separate email dated September 21, 2011, Ferguson wrote: "Don't know if you're still on this BBM but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy."
