A startling new report claims that the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, prior to his death, formulated a plan to eliminate a former British royal and his ex-wife, fearing they would expose damaging information about his activities.
According to a source cited in a recent publication, Epstein grew increasingly paranoid in the period before his 2019 death while in custody. He reportedly believed that the former Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, posed a significant threat. The source alleges Epstein felt the pair had broken his confidence and were preparing to disclose key details about him in an effort to protect themselves from legal and reputational fallout.
The account suggests Epstein’s concerns were so severe that he moved beyond mere worry to active planning. He is said to have developed a concrete strategy to have both individuals killed and had allegedly initiated discussions with a mercenary sniper based in the United Kingdom. The source bluntly stated that had Epstein not died, the two would have been murdered because of their insider knowledge of his criminal enterprise.
The relationship between the financier and the former royal has been a persistent source of scandal, ultimately leading to the royal being stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages and ceasing to use his “His Royal Highness” style. The new claims indicate Epstein’s distrust extended to the institution itself. He reportedly told associates he believed the royal family was targeting him, even speculating they might resort to extreme measures, a fear he allegedly connected to broader, unsubstantiated theories about past tragedies.
While wary of both, the source indicated Epstein held particular suspicion toward the Duchess of York. He reportedly told confidants that, based on her past behavior of sharing others’ secrets, he believed she would not hesitate to reveal his. This complete erosion of trust allegedly fueled his desire to permanently remove both individuals from the situation.
These latest allegations, which have not been independently verified, add another layer to the complex and dark narrative surrounding Epstein’s associations and the ongoing repercussions for those linked to him.
