Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, is reportedly at risk of being summoned to give evidence before the US Congress regarding her ties to the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This speculation arises after a royal expert pointed out that with the emergence of new details from Epstein's files, Fergie could find herself in legal scrutiny. Her public appearances have dwindled since late last year, particularly after King Charles III stripped her of her title and asked her to vacate Royal Lodge with her former husband, Prince Andrew.

Following revelations published by the US Department of Justice last week, which contained documents related to Epstein's infamous sleaze and connections to high-profile individuals, Ferguson has stayed away from the public eye. The documents hinted at deeper and potentially damaging links between Epstein and various influential figures, raising concerns about how these revelations might impact Ferguson, particularly in light of her previous associations with Epstein and his circle. The context of her relationships is also complicated by her recent royal troubles, which have intensified media and public scrutiny.

As a high-profile member of the British royal family, Ferguson's possible appearance before Congress underscores the ongoing ramifications of the Epstein scandal, particularly for those who were closely linked to him. If called to testify, it could have far-reaching implications not just for her personally, but for the British royal family; it would also shed light on how Epstein managed to navigate elite social circles largely without accountability. The potential legal repercussions of any testimonies given by Ferguson will likely fuel further discussions about the broader societal and legal responsibilities regarding such high-profile connections.
