Sarah Ferguson sent her truckling email to Jeffrey Epstein calling him her 'supreme friend' after he threatened to 'destroy the York family' in a 'Hannibal Lecter-like' call.
The Duchess of York's spokesman today sensationally claimed that a 'chilling' warning from the sex offender financier is why she was fawning over him in leaked correspondence from 2011.
Epstein was apparently raging when she called him a paedophile in public and cited accepting £15,000 from him to settle her debts as a 'terrible, terrible error of judgment'.
In the email leaked to the Mail on Sunday the duchess 'humbly apologised' and told the sex trafficker she was aware that he would 'feel hellaciously let down by me'.
Her apology was apparently in response to a phone conversation with her spokesman and adviser James Henderson where he claims Epstein threatened legal action.
