Sarah Ferguson has seemingly survived various royal scandals in her time as a high-profile member of the British Royal Family. The 65-year-old has now come under fire over new revelations involving the publication of an email that she allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein following his release from jail on child sex offences.
The latest revelations showed emails exchanged between Sarah and the late convicted sex offender in 2011. Sarah can be seen issuing an apology for disassociating herself from her "supreme friend" when it had emerged that he had bailed her out financially.
Prior to sending the emails, she said in an interview that her involvement with Epstein had been a "gigantic error of judgment".
A spokesperson said that Sarah had only sent the emails after Epstein - who took his own life in prison in 2019 - made threats to sue her.
This isn't, however, Sarah's first high-profile scandal. During her third year of marriage to Andrew, and whilst pregnant with their second daughter, Sarah met American Steve Wyatt - who has been referred to as "love of her life".
Just a few years later, in August 1992, Sarah was pictured having her toes kissed by her American financial advisor, John Bryan - who was one of Steve's close friends - as they soaked up the sun in the South of France.
Speaking of how Sarah survived her previous scandals, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Express that there were evidently three methods which helped her.
He said: "It was charisma, undoubted resourcefulness and an ability to bounce back despite debts and appalling behaviour."
Andrew's former wife has since been seen appearing at royal events, such as attending Christmas in December 2023 and also attending their Easter Services in 2024 and 2025.
Since the latest scandals, Sarah has been dropped as patron for a few well-known charities such as Julia's House, The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Teenage Cancer Trust and Prevent Breast Cancer.
