Sarah Ferguson “betrayed” the late Queen Elizabeth II, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has said. As well as having spoken fondly of her late former mother-in-law for years, Sarah has previously stated that she still “talks to her” three years on from her passing in September 2022.

According to Mr Fitzwilliams, Sarah’s connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which was unknown to the late Queen, shows that she has “no shame” as the former monarch continued to support Sarah after her divorce from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in 1996.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “Betrayal is a truly horrible characteristic. To betray the person to whom one owes loyalty and the institution into which she was welcomed is shameful, but Sarah Ferguson knows no shame.”

The expert further added: “Queen Elizabeth II, a monarch whose rule will go down as one of the finest in our history, was kind to her.

“We now know that Ferguson’s grovelling emails to the deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein are proof of her culpability and greed.”

He went on to add: “She was clearly beyond the pale and a disgrace to the Royal Family, though she lost her HRH when she divorced. Yet the Queen had a soft spot for her, almost as though she was a mother figure trying to resurrect someone who was clearly utterly irresponsible…

“…After everything that had happened, but before the release of the Epstein files, King Charles invited her for Christmas in 2023.

“This shows her ability to return to favour against the odds, which worked time and again as though there was a perverse part of the British character to which it appealed. Now her charity has folded, and those charities with which she was connected shun her.

“The full extent of her betrayal of Queen Elizabeth’s good nature is not yet known, with more to come out from the Epstein files.”
