Recently disclosed correspondence appears to detail a private meeting between a member of the British royal family and the convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein shortly after his release from prison in the summer of 2009. The communications, part of a broader document release, suggest the visit included the individual’s two adult daughters.
According to the records, an email sent by Epstein on July 28, 2009, references a visit from “Ferg and the two girls” the previous day. This aligns with a separate inquiry sent a day earlier from an individual named “Sarah,” asking for an address and confirming the attendance of herself and her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, for a lunch meeting. At the time, the young women were approximately 20 and 19 years old.
Epstein had been released on July 22, 2009, after serving a portion of a sentence for solicitation of prostitution involving a minor.
The trove of emails also includes other personal messages allegedly sent to Epstein that same year. In these communications, the author expresses feelings of isolation and professional desperation, at one point writing, “I am feeling very traumatized and alone,” and inquiring about potential employment. Another message from 2010 contains effusive praise for a former spouse, describing him as a “saint.”
Further messages reveal a sense of persecution, with the author claiming to be “hung out to dry” and fearing a campaign to “discredit me. Totally to obliteration” by press and institutional forces.
The emergence of these documents adds another layer to the ongoing public examination of Epstein’s associations following his criminal conviction.
