Shameless Sarah Ferguson told convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that she was waiting for her youngest daughter ‘to come back from a sh***ing weekend’.
The extraordinary exchange is contained in the tranche of three million documents released as part of The Epstein Files on Friday.
In the email, sent on March 21, 2010 – two days before Eugenie’s 20th birthday – Epstein asks the-then Duchess of York: ‘NY?’, in an apparent reference to an upcoming New York trip.
Sarah replies: ‘Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a sh***ing weekend!!’
Eugenie met her now-husband Jack Brooksbank during a skiing trip at the beginning of 2010 and later described it as ‘love at first sight’.
The couple wed in 2018 and have two young children.
Earlier this month The Mail on Sunday revealed Eugenie has cut off all contact with her disgraced father in the wake of the Epstein scandal and refused to visit him at Christmas.
Ferguson, who is reportedly about to be made ‘homeless’ after being kicked out of Royal Lodge where she has been living with ex-husband Andrew, has apologised repeatedly for her friendship with Epstein yet the new documents show the paedophile helped pay off around $60,000 worth of debts she owed to a former assistant.

In one email dated 4 April, 2009, and signed ‘Love Sarah, the red head!’ she tells Epstein: ‘I am landing in Palm Beach in a couple of hours. Is there any chance on my quick layover that I can get to have a quick cup of tea?’
She goes on to discuss ‘Mother’s Army’, a website Epstein purchased for her, and says: ‘My dear, spectacular and special friend Jeffrey. You are a legend and I am so proud of you.’
The paedophile was still under house arrest when the email was sent.
In July 2009 financier Glenn Dubin, one of Epstein’s close friends, writes to him saying: ‘Fergie said she would organize tea in the Buckingham Palace apts…or Windsor Castle..she said you should call her directly.’
In another exchange in August 2009 Sarah thanks the billionaire ‘for being the brother I have always wished for’.
In 2010, Epstein is invited to Andrew’s 50th birthday party in an email which says: ‘Dear Jeffrey, Beatrice, Eugenie and I would love to invite you to celebrate the 50 years of Papa/Andrew.’
The invitation to drinks and dinner at St James’s Palace in London continues: ‘It will be suits and cocktail dresses, and you know me, mysterious mischief, so bring your presents, your presence and your humour!’
When Andrew’s office hears nothing back from the billionaire they politely send a reminder to which Epstein replies curtly: ‘Not able.’

A source said: ‘Epstein was always falling out with Sarah over money. She would borrow it from him and then say something stupid which would make the papers and infuriate him. He wasn’t that fond of her, she was more of a useful idiot to him. She offered him a way into Andrew’s good graces and, by default, the good graces of the Royals.’
By July 2010 they appear to have patched things up with Epstein saying an unnamed friend will be in London adding ‘any chance of your daughters saying hello?’ to which Sarah replies: ‘Beatrice is in London with her father. Eugie is away with a cool boyfriend.’
But in March 2011 Epstein was ‘enraged’ after Sarah gave an interview to London’s Evening Standard newspaper calling him a paedophile. He even considered suing her.
He hired Michael Sitrick, a high-powered New York crisis manager who wrote: ‘Jeffrey, the Fergie retraction is critical. One of your good friends, a member of the Royal family, is calling you a paedophile.
‘If gentle persuasion doesn’t work it is my view that we need to turn up the heat to the point of sending her a draft defamation lawsuit. As I said yesterday, this would be a major turning point and be picked up everywhere.
‘This is about your name and your reputation. You really can’t worry about her, in my view you need to worry about you. She certainly isn’t concerned about you or your reputation.’
Just weeks after telling the Standard she would ‘never have anything to do with Epstein again’, Sarah wrote him a groveling letter in April 2011 in which she called him a ‘steadfast, generous and supreme friend’.
She said: ‘I know you feel hellaciously let down by me. And I must humbly apologise to you and your heart for that. You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family.’
A spokeswoman for the former duchess said she had been left terrified by Epstein’s threats to sue saying: ‘Like many people she was taken in by his lies.
‘As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with paedophilia.’
The former duchess has been contacted for comment.
