Fergie email claims Epstein had a secret child

Jeffrey Epstein had a secret child, according to a message Sarah Ferguson sent him.
Former Duchess of York congratulates sex offender birth of a “baby boy” After being released from prison in 2011.
She offered her “love, friendship and congratulations” to Epstein after hearing the news from “The Duke,” possibly referring to her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Although it was alleged that he had sexual intercourse with hundreds of women, it was never determined whether Epstein had children.
The financier’s last known girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, was set to inherit most of his fortune, properties and island in a will that was amended shortly before he died in prison in 2019.
Ferguson appeared to send a second message complaining that Epstein “disappeared” after using her “to get to Andrew.”
Ferguson’s correspondence, along with 180,000 images and 2,000 videos, are among 3 million documents in the Epstein files released by the U.S. Justice Department on Friday.
The former Duchess appeared several times in the documents; In the latest episode, it was revealed that he offered VIP tours of Buckingham Palace to Epstein and his friends.
Newly released emails show that Ferguson contacted Epstein after he was released from prison in 2009 for child sex crimes.
The files also showed that Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with Epstein continued until at least 2017; This was seven years after the disgraced former royal claimed to have cut off contact.
While Epstein was alive, he never admitted to having had children, but more than 100 people claimed to have had children with him; many others laid claim to his fortune.
Harvey Morse, founder of Morse Genealogical Services, a DNA firm, said in 2020 that Epstein could have grandchildren because he had been “promiscuous for so long.”
“There’s a reasonable possibility of having children,” he said. “He might even be a grandfather.”
Morse said 130 people approached him after the company launched a website called “epsteinheirs” but more than a quarter of the claims were immediately rejected.
In a separate filing released Friday, a woman claimed she “created” a daughter for Epstein through a “beautiful fertility ritual.” The validity of the claim is unknown and the justice ministry has warned that the files contain a number of “untrue and sensational” accusations.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to release all files related to Epstein by December 19, but officials far exceeded that deadline.
Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of her remaining royal titles by the King last year, is seen kneeling over an unidentified woman in recent documents.
The files included Epstein’s overtures to introduce Mountbatten-Windsor to a “beautiful” 26-year-old Russian woman named Irina.
