York Council Revokes Sarah Ferguson’s Freedom of the City After Epstein Records

The move signals mounting institutional fallout from DOJ files that detail Ferguson’s sustained contact with Jeffrey Epstein.

Overview

  • York City Council, which voted unanimously Thursday, revoked Ferguson’s Freedom of the City, a ceremonial civic honor she received in 1987.
  • Councillors cited newly released U.S. Justice Department records that include emails in which she called Jeffrey Epstein a “best friend” or “legend” and contacted him while he was jailed in 2008.
  • The files also describe a lunch in Miami with her daughters soon after Epstein’s release, details that have intensified calls for an explanation.
  • U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam sent a letter Thursday asking Ferguson to testify about her ties to Epstein and to respond by April 9, including any knowledge related to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
  • Several charities have ended or paused ties with Ferguson, Sarah’s Trust is on hold, and she has not been seen in public since December 2025 with her current whereabouts unconfirmed.
