Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Britain's Prince Andrew, reportedly was dropped as a patron from several British charities after an email surfaced related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Ferguson, former wife of the Duke of York, was dropped as a royal patron and backer of Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the Teenage Cancer Trust, the children hospice charity Julia's House, the British Heart Foundation, Prevent Breast Cancer, the Children's Literacy Charity and National Foundation for Retired Service Animals.
The moves come after a newly released email in which the former sister-in-law to King Charles III described Epstein as a "supreme friend" despite conviction on sex-trafficking offenses of underage girls.
Epstein was jailed in 2008 and in a 2011 interview Ferguson stated her friendship with Epstein had been a "gigantic error or judgment" and vowed to have nothing to do with him.
