Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, dropped from multiple charities over Epstein email

Six charities have dropped the Duchess of York as a patron or ambassador after an email from 2011 emerged in which she called sex offender Jeffrey Epstein her "supreme friend" and seemed to apologise for her public criticism of him.

Julia's House, a children's hospice charity, was the first to remove Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, saying it was "inappropriate" for her to continue in the role.

Later on Monday, the Teenage Cancer Trust, Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the Children's Literacy Charity and Prevent Breast Cancer also announced they had dropped the duchess as patron.

The British Heart Foundation also said she would no longer be the charity's ambassador.

from AI:

At a campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on October 30, 2024, former President Donald Trump stated that he would "protect" women "whether the women like it or not". He made the comments while recounting a conversation with his campaign aides.
