Sarah Ferguson’s charity has been shut down following scrutiny of her links with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Sarah’s Trust which introduced philanthropists to good causes in need of funding was formally wound up last month after being first registered with the Charity Commission in 2018. The commission’s website lists the trust as being “removed”, meaning it is no longer a registered charity. One email exchange suggested Sarah took her daughters to see Epstein in the US days after he was released from prison for child sex crimes. She and Andrew were given the honour as a wedding present from York in 1987 during a visit to the city.
