- Sarah Ferguson, the former duchess, has been formally requested by US Congressman Suhas Subramanyam to testify before a congressional committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein, citing her "close personal and business ties" to the convicted paedophile.
- The letter, which sets a two-week deadline for a response by April 9, 2026, also seeks information regarding any knowledge she may have about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's involvement in Epstein's operations.
- The request highlights emails sent by Ms Ferguson to Epstein after his 2008 conviction, where she praised him as a "legend" and sought financial assistance, asking to borrow £50,000 or £100,000.
- Recent releases from the Epstein files further revealed a close relationship, with Ms Ferguson reportedly calling him "the brother I have always wished for" and taking her daughters to lunch with him shortly after his release from prison.
- This development follows the City of York Council stripping Ms Ferguson of her Freedom of the City title, and comes as six companies linked to her are winding down, with her charity also announcing its closure.
