Former Duchess Sarah Ferguson to lose York’s honorary citizenship. Britannia tells about it the BBC.
The reason for losing the title is Ferguson’s close friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Ferguson’s name has come up several times in the Epstein documents.
As a result of the revelations, Ferguson lost her title of duchess.
Ferguson was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 to 1996. Even after the divorce, the couple has lived and represented together.
Andrew, who was very badly bruised in the Epstein scandal, lost his princely title and a lot of other titles last year.

Ferguson’s connections with Epstein have aroused fierce criticism in Britain, even though he is not suspected of any crime.
According to the documents that became public since the beginning of the year, the communication between Ferguson and Epstein has been close and close.
Ferguson had also asked Epstein for money, trips and flight class upgrades.
Jeffrey Epstein was a businessman who committed numerous serious sexual crimes against children and ran a network of human trafficking of minors. Epstein had extensive networks of acquaintances with decision-makers, the elite of the business world and political influencers.
Since 2008, Epstein has been classified as a third-risk offender on the New York Sex Offender Registry. The lifetime designation meant that Epstein was considered to be at high risk of reoffending.
He died in 2019 in pretrial detention on suspicion of human trafficking.
Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of numerous crimes, including trafficking of minors, in 2021.
