Sarah Ferguson questioned ‘what kind of mother is she’ over Epstein scandal

Published: Feb 04 2026

Sarah Ferguson has been accused of negligent parenting, as she reportedly took her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to meet Jeffrey Epstein. The former Duchess of York, who has since been stripped of her royal title and exiled from her role, allegedly took the sisters to Miami to have lunch with the convicted paedophile in 2009.

Discussing the latest revelations from Epstein's files, expert Jennie Bond spoke to The Mirror and said, "I hesitate to criticize another woman's parenting, but what kind of mother takes her daughters, then aged 20 and 19, to meet a convicted paedophile for lunch? It's particularly troubling when you consider that Epstein had only been out of jail for five days when Sarah introduced Beatrice and Eugenie to him."

She added, "Of course, they weren't children at that time - they were young adults. But I can only assume they were unaware of Epstein's conviction. If they had known, surely they would have questioned their mother's decision."

The expert noted, "And what kind of mother jokes about her daughter's love life with a man who abused children? That's exactly what Sarah did when Eugenie was spending a weekend away with her boyfriend."

"We can only imagine what Beatrice and Eugenie thought when they saw the pictures of their father on all fours leaning over a motionless woman lying beneath him. It's something they will never be able to un-see," said Jennie.
