The Duchess of York met with Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 even though he was still under house arrest for having sex with underage girls, files obtained by DailyMail.com indicate. The pedophile's private calendars from March that year reveal that he would make room in his schedule for Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew. At the time Epstein still had five months of house arrest left for admitting to soliciting a minor for prostitution, an offense for which he served a 13-month jail sentence and was labeled a registered sex offender. Epstein told his assistant: 'Duchess anytime.' .....

A vast trove of Jeffrey Epstein's private calendars and emails are being revealed today by DailyMail.com. The hundreds of pages in the files give an unprecedented insight into the late pedophile's extraordinary network of power and influence. Among the revelations is that Epstein appeared to know personal details about the marriage of Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda – while magician David Blaine had numerous dinners with the financier.

A trove of documents released late Thursday could shed light on Ghislaine Maxwell’s relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The data include records of a 2011 meeting between accuser Virginia Giuffre and her lawyers where she talked about the powerful people in Epstein’s orbit who she said either flew on his private Boeing 727 or stayed on his private island in the Caribbean. One of the names mentioned was that of former President Bill Clinton. At one point in the conversation, the subject turned to Epstein’s powerful friends. Jack Scarola, one of Giuffre’s lawyers, asked...

Prince Andrew has fled to Spain on a private jet with his live-in ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, as the heat continues to rise in the child sex trafficking case against his recently-deceased friend Jeffrey Epstein.Andrew, the Duke of York, was seen landing his plane in Malaga with the Duchess, after the pair left early from the Royal Family's vacation at the Queen's official Scottish residence in Balmoral, Scotland.

Prince Harry reportedly had to intervene against the wishes of his family to make sure his uncle’s former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, was invited to his wedding next Saturday. Even still, the former Sarah Ferguson, 58, popularly known as Fergie, is said to be “deeply upset” to be excluded from the “inner sanctum” evening reception at Frogmore House, a large estate near Windsor Castle, at which the guest list is controlled by Harry’s father, Prince Charles. What is worse, from the Duchess’s perspective, is that her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, who are both close with their cousin Harry, are...

The knifing of Tony Abbott will go down as one of the most destructive and arrogant acts of political bastardry this nation has yet seen. In many ways, it surpasses Labor’s two similarly bloody coups, so forensically explored in Sarah Ferguson’s superb Killing Season documentary, for the simple reason that Mr Turnbull’s treachery was done despite the knowledge that the electorate genuinely deplore such brutality. If there was, indeed, one clear lesson to come from the Rudd/Gillard danse macabre, it is that the voters prefer to do the knifings in the sanctity of the ballot box, and have little time...

THE ABC is trying to destroy Tony Abbott. Its bias — actually unlawful — has never been so ruthless. Even the ABC’s hand-picked reviewer had to admit this week that the ABC’s coverage of the Abbott Government’s first Budget was marred by anti-Liberal bias — and she hadn’t even looked hard. Colleen Ryan, a former Fairfax editor, had been asked by the ABC to check its reporting of the Budget in the week after it was delivered. This Budget was the country’s first and best hope of reining in Labor’s massive deficits. If it wasn’t a make-or-break moment for the...

The Duchess of York launched an extraordinary defence of her former husband Prince Andrew today, describing him as 'the greatest man there is'. Sarah Ferguson appeared in public for the first time since the Duke of York was accused of having sex with an under-age girl in a US court. The Duchess has kept a low profile at the luxury Swiss ski chalet where she has been holidaying with Andrew and their younger daughter Eugenie. But today she emerged from the £22,000-a-week chalet and went for a mountain walk dressed in black sportswear. Asked by the Daily Mail if she...

When Cindy Sheehan showed up outside of President Bush's Crawford, TX ranch in August, it was, to a certain degree, understandable that there would be some press coverage. She was there, the media was there, there wasn't alot to talk about. But the coverage was weak and biased in almost all cases, carrying her message uncritically, with no evaluation of who she was or what she was saying. The attitude seemed to be that she lost her son, she was criticizing the President, so she was credible and newsworthy, no matter what else there was in her views and attitudes....
