Late financier Jeffrey Epstein might have had a secret child, according to unearthed emails.

The claim comes as part of a number of documents released by the Department of Justice that feature communications between him and Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Ferguson has yet to comment on the email, which seems to hint at an intimate, platonic relationship with the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

At the time of Epstein's suicide in August 2019, the late financier was not publicly associated with having children, despite his many romances and alleged juvenile victims. However, that has now been called into question with the latest batch of the Epstein files.

According to the New York Post, the convicted sex offender once received an email from Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of the disgraced ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in which she congratulated him on welcoming a child.

"Don't know if you're still on this bbm but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy," read the email sent on September 21, 2011.

The email further hinted at the relationship Epstein allegedly shared with Andrew and his wife, Ferguson, as she appeared to berate him for being distant at the time.

"Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship, and congratualtions [sic] on your baby boy. Sarah xx," Ferguson allegedly concluded.

While details about the alleged secret child and the child's mother remain unclear, Ferguson's congratulatory message was not the only one to emerge from the recently released Epstein files.

In one message dated August 3, 2009, the mother of two praised the late sex offender after he complimented her in front of her daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.

"I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me in front of my girls. Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for," Ferguson wrote in the note, per the Daily Mail.

At the time the message was sent, it was just one month after Epstein had been released from prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

The crime appeared to do little to sour his relationship with the family, as suggested by other praise-filled messages sent in November of that year.

In the emails, Ferguson called the late sex offender "a legend" and "I am so proud of you."

One other email between Ferguson and Epstein revealed that she once invited the late financier to attend a birthday party in honor of the then-Prince Andrew. The celebration marked Andrew's fiftieth birthday and was held at St. James's Palace in London.

"Beatrice, Eugenie, and I would love to invite you to celebrate the 50 years of Papa/Andrew. It will be on February 26th 2010, from 7.30pm for Drinks and for 8.30pm for Dinner, at St. James's Palace, London," read the email from the former Duchess of York.

She added, "It will be suits and cocktail dresses, and you know me, mysterious mischief. So bring your presents. Your presence and your humour!"

However, the seemingly desperate appeal for his presence at the celebration was not enough to convince Epstein to attend. Days later, Epstein only replied with a curt "not able" to confirm that he would not be attending.

Despite the communication between Ferguson and Epstein, no one has shown any indication of wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein's crimes.

The same cannot be said of Andrew, given his alleged association with Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent accusers.

The late sex trafficking survivor and advocate claimed that she provided massages and sexual services for Epstein and a number of his business associates for years, one of whom was reportedly Andrew.

She specifically stated that she was introduced to Andrew by Epstein's convicted right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell, and that the former prince abused her three times.

One of the alleged abuse incidents involving Andrew and Giuffre is said to have occurred at Epstein's New York mansion and another at his Caribbean estate.

The recently demoted British royal has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing since the allegations emerged, despite being named in a civil suit filed by Giuffre.

The suit was eventually settled out of court, with some reports claiming the settlement was worth several million dollars.

Due to the gravity of the allegations against Andrew, he has since been stripped of his royal titles and kicked out of his home, Royal Lodge, hinting at the royal family's intention to distance itself from the former duke and his ex-wife, Ferguson.
