Newly released emails suggest that Sarah Ferguson brought her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to a lunch with Jeffrey Epstein in Miami just days after his release from prison in 2009
The email exchange was part of the latest files related to Epstein that the Department of Justice released on Jan. 30
Both Ferguson and her ex-husband, the former Prince Andrew, appeared in numerous files
Sarah Ferguson brought her two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to meet up with Jeffrey Epstein just days after his release from prison in 2009, a newly released email suggests.
The Department of Justice released new documents related to Epstein on Jan. 30, including an email exchange between the disgraced financier and Ferguson about meeting up for lunch in Miami.
"What address shall we come to. It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie," the former Duchess of York allegedly wrote. At the time, her two daughters with the former Prince Andrew were 20 and 19.
The emails were dated July 27, 2009, just five days after Epstein was released from prison after serving 13 months for soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution.
A week later, Ferguson appeared to reference the lunch in another email, dated Aug. 3, 2009.
"I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me infront of my girls,” she said. “Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for.”

According to a report published by The Daily Mail in October, Epstein said in a 2011 email to his lawyer Paul Tweed that Sarah "was the first to celebrate my release with her two daughters in tow" after she apologized for her connections to him in an interview with the London Evening Standard.
At the time of the report, a source told PEOPLE that Princess Beatrice, now 37, and Princess Eugenie, now 35, never met Epstein. The Telegraph also reported then that a source close to Sarah said the mother and daughters had no recollection of the visit.
Other emails from the new batch of Epstein-related evidence include disturbing comments about Andrew and Ferguson's daughters. In one, Epstein asked Ferguson about a possible upcoming trip to New York, to which she replied, “Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!”
Both Andrew, 65, and Ferguson, 66, appeared in the latest release of files related to Epstein, including photos that show King Charles' brother kneeling on all fours over an unidentified woman on the ground.

Andrew's royal titles and honors were stripped by King Charles in the fall amid renewed interest in his and Ferguson's ties to Epstein.
Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and a representative for Ferguson had no comment when PEOPLE reached out about these latest emails.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's titles were not affected by their father's title removal. The sisters spent Christmas with King Charles and the royal family at Sandringham despite their parents being kept out of the gathering.
