Does Jeffrey Epstein have a secret son? Sarah Ferguson congratulated paedophile on birth of baby boy, newly released emails reveal

Sarah Ferguson congratulated Jeffrey Epstein on having a ‘baby boy’ shortly after he was released from prison for soliciting sex from 14-year-old girls, according to newly released emails.

The so-called Epstein files show that the former Duchess of York offered her “love, friendship and congratulations” in a note she sent to the pedophile financier in September 2011.

The potential existence of Epstein’s secret son, now 14 and in high school, was revealed in a sycophantic email from her friend Fergie, who claimed she had heard the news from her ex-husband Andrew.

Fergie used the birth as an excuse to contact Epstein again, even after he was released from prison for child sex crimes.

In the unseen email published in the final part of the Epstein files, he wrote: ‘I don’t know if you are still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger) but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy’.

The email dated September 21 2011 contains a barbed attack on Epstein from Fergie for apparently cutting off contact with her.

She wrote: ‘Even though you never kept in touch, I am still here with love, friendship and congratulations on your baby boy’. It is signed: ‘Sarah x’. 

It is not known if Epstein responded to her offer of continued friendship. 

Unmarried Epstein was never known to have any children, despite sleeping with hundreds of women. 

He had no heir so his last-known girlfriend Karyna Shuliak was set to inherit most of his fortune, properties and his island in a will changed shortly before his death in a New York prison cell in 2019.

Fergie said she heard the news about his son from The Duke – presumably Prince Andrew 

Epstein himself never confessed to having any children in his lifetime. 

But more than 100 people are said to have claimed that they may be his offspring and may have had a claim to his fortune.

‘Jeffrey Epstein was sexually promiscuous for so long that there is a reasonable chance he may have fathered a child,’ the founder of DNA firm Morse Genealogical Services, Harvey Morse, said in 2020, adding: ‘He could even be a grandfather.’

His DNA company set set up a website called epsteinheirs.com and said 130 people came forward to them.

Although Mr Morse said that at least a quarter appeared were dismissed as unreliable almost immediately. 

The existence secret child emerged as new footage showed Jeffrey Epstein describing himself as a ‘tier one’ sexual predator. 

The footage emerged as part of the tranche of files that the US department of justice published on Friday, including 180,000 images and 2,000 videos.

Epstein, wearing glasses and a black shirt, is also asked whether he ‘is the Devil himself’ by the interviewer, who does not appear on screen but he is believed to be Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon.

‘No, but I do have a good mirror,’ the convicted paedophile responds, before the interviewer hits back: ‘It’s a serious question. Do you think you’re the devil himself?’

Epstein says: ‘I don’t know. Why would you say that?’

The interviewer begins to explain, saying, ‘because you have all the attributes’, before Epstein cuts him off: ‘No, the devil scares me.’

Bannon, 72, served in the White House role for the first seven months of Trump’s first administration.

It is not clear when or where the interview was filmed, who filmed the video, or why Bannon in particular was chosen to question Epstein.

‘What are you, [a] 3rd class sexual predator?’ the interviewer asks Epstein.

‘Tier 1. I’m at the bottom,’ replies the American financier.

When asked if the money he has earned throughout his life is ‘dirty money’, Epstein replies: ‘No, it is not.’

When asked why not, Epstein says: ‘Because I deserved it.’

The interviewer says, ‘You earned this by advising the worst people in the world who do huge, bad things just to make more money.’

“Ethics is always a complicated issue,” Epstein retorts, before mentioning the money he claims to have donated to help eradicate polio in Pakistan and India.

“Instead of asking me whether these children should be paid for the vaccine, you might want to ask whether Epstein should be helping these people with money for their mothers who received the vaccine and knew their child would no longer have polio,” he adds.

“You’re a mathematician,” the interviewer replies, before pitching a hypothetical scenario in which Epstein walks into the clinic and tells people “in the most difficult situations, like poverty and disease,” that the money came from a “criminal.”

‘What percentage of people do you estimate will say, ‘I don’t care, I want money for my kids?’ he asks in the interview.

Epstein responded: “I would say everyone said, ‘I want the money for my kids.’

Epstein was running “the world’s largest honeytrap operation” on behalf of the KGB while procuring women for his network of business partners, intelligence sources said over the weekend.

The release of more than three million new documents on the late sex offender confirms incendiary claims by top security officials that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow and possibly Israel as he facilitated the appointments of some of the world’s most powerful men.

The files include 1,056 documents bearing the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 documents related to Moscow. Epstein appears to have met with Putin after he was convicted of procuring children for prostitution in 2008.

Although there is no documentary evidence directly linking Putin and his spies to Epstein’s illegal activities, sources say this may explain why Epstein appears to have an unstable ultra-rich lifestyle due to his career as a financier.

But sources also claim that US security services have been ‘monitoring’ Epstein’s Russia connections for years, while their UK counterparts were hesitant due to Epstein’s connection to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The cache includes an email alleging that Bill Gates asked one of Epstein’s advisors to provide medication to treat STDs due to “sex with Russian girls”; which Bill Gates rejected as “totally wrong”.

It also includes a document confirming The Mail on Sunday’s October 2010 report that Epstein had offered to introduce Andrew to a ‘beautiful’ 26-year-old Russian woman in August 2010, two years after his conviction.

American intelligence experts believe that Epstein was recruited into the world of espionage through business dealings with disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell, who, like Epstein, died in murky circumstances; In Maxwell’s case, his body was found floating in the Atlantic in 1991, having apparently fallen overboard from his yacht.

A car thought to be carrying Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was spotted near the Royal Lodge in Windsor on Sunday morning.

Epstein was found hanged in 2019, but his relatives believe he was killed to silence him.

Maxwell’s daughter, Ghislaine, is serving a 20-year prison sentence for child sex trafficking and other crimes in connection with her relationship with Epstein, whom she reportedly met shortly after her father’s death.

Security sources say Robert Maxwell is a Russian agent from the 1970s who worked with the involvement of Israeli intelligence service Mossad to extradite Soviet Jews to Israel.

In return, they say, Maxwell laundered Russian money to the West with Epstein’s help.

They think the financier was introduced to Maxwell and the KGB by an oil tycoon also on the payroll of Russian intelligence. Investigations into Robert Maxwell’s business dealings revealed links not only to the KGB and Mossad but also to MI6.

U.S. law enforcement officials also believe that Epstein had long-standing ties to a Russian organized crime group that may have been blackmailing him. This may explain the ease with which Epstein brought ‘girls’ here from Russia.

A source said: ‘Andrew, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and everyone else have been placed in compromising positions on an island full of technology. This is the world’s largest honey trap operation.
