She and Andrew deserve each other: a pair of grifters.

It seems Epstein cleared Sarah Ferguson's debts at one time in the past. Such associations are hard to shake off. What a tawdry business. I too feel sympathy for Beatrice and Eugenie; how mortifying to have both parents shown up badly in public.

I like her ebullience - she really was a breath of fresh air …

Was being the operative word. Now the air isn’t so fresh, more like a stink.

Epstein and Ghislaine were invited to Beatrice's 18th Birthday Party.

I’m glad the late Queen isn’t around to witness all this.

A 6th charity has now removed her.

I do feel sorry for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Not just one - but both parents now. How tawdry.

How can people be so easily taken in? Although I suppose these characters probably emit a superficial charm & as humans we often want to think the best of people. The scales don't fall-off their eyes untill much later!
I hope that I would be immune to such manipulation!
yet, who really knows? 🤔

Makes sense; who would want someone considered a convicted paedophile was a friend to be involved with a children's charity or any charity.

After reading the demolition job aka that book “Entitled “ about the Yorks, I’m not a bit surprised.
I always thought, ( it seems wrongly) that she’d had a bit of a hard time for being a “breath of fresh air” but her 100% money grubbing and tawdry behaviour (still it seems) has changed my mind.
I suspect they deserve each other - if only the rest of the RF could be spared too.

Due to her friendship with Epstein.
The domino effect begins.
