Late financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein's personal diary entries shed new light on his high-profile connections, most notably revealing a visit from Sarah Ferguson, while serving his house arrest term at his Manhattan residence, as reported by RadarOnline.com.
In 2010, when the Duchess of York allegedly paid a visit to Epstein's Manhattan domicile, the scandal-ridden American financier was just five months away from completing his house arrest sentence, following his admission of soliciting a minor.
The Daily Mail reports that Epstein's confidential calendars bear evidence of Ferguson's visit in March 2010. Ferguson is the former wife of Prince Andrew.
Epstein's assistant raised the issue of scheduling Ferguson's visit in a series of tasks titled, "still need to try and schedule." The conversation involved the phrase, "The Duchess for Tues or Wed. (I have emailed her assistant, Amanda, re a meeting)," penned by Epstein's aide.
Epstein, making arrangements for the Duchess of York's visit, responded, "Duchess anytime."
Photographs, captured by Epstein's ex-personal driver and housemaid couple, JoJo and Lynn Fontanilla, captured Ferguson and her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, at Epstein's abode in February and March of that year.
Just two days after Epstein's email reply concerning scheduling, the Fontanillas captured an image of Prince Andrew on March 5, at Epstein's New York City residence.
An image from March spotlighted Ferguson, posing with JoJo, beaming with a shopping bag in her hand. A third photograph from February showed Ferguson with Lynn at Epstein's Manhattan apartment.
Despite their 1996 divorce and Prince Andrew's sexual abuse allegations, Ferguson maintained a close bond with her controversial ex-spouse for many years.
As Epstein's conviction unravelled his network of eminent acquaintances and associates associated with his sex trafficking operations, Ferguson faced scrutiny for her association with Epstein.
Two years post Ferguson's visit to Epstein during his house arrest, the Duchess of York publicly censured Epstein.
"I abhor pedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf," Ferguson stated in a 2012 interview with The Evening Standard.
Epstein and Ferguson's camaraderie dates back to April 1998, when she was listed as a passenger on Epstein's private jet to his notorious Bahamas island.
The same flight log from April 1998 also disclosed that Ferguson's daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, accompanied her on the trip.
