The release of the so-called Epstein files has once again ignited global debate.

While headlines have often focused on powerful men such as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Donald Trump, and Peter Mandelson, increasing attention is now shifting toward the many women whose names appear throughout the vast 3.5-million-page archive.

The renewed scrutiny follows the Department of Justice’s disclosure of millions of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The release has not only revived discussion of his crimes but also raised questions about how authorities handled the case for years. Officials have emphasized that being named in the material does not imply wrongdoing. Still, the breadth of individuals referenced—across politics, royalty, entertainment, and philanthropy—has prompted intense public conversation.

Royal Circles Under the Microscope

Among the most discussed figures is Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Her name appears multiple times in relation to social gatherings and travel connected to Epstein’s network.

Emails referenced in the documents reportedly show Ferguson describing Epstein as a “pillar,” and records indicate continued correspondence during periods when he was facing legal consequences. According to CNN, six companies linked to her are now set to close following the latest release.

Attention has also extended to her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, whose names surfaced in recent disclosures. Again, officials stress that mere mention does not equate to misconduct, but the optics have amplified media interest.

Amid the scrutiny, reports suggest Ferguson has maintained a low profile. The Daily Mail states that she has spent significant time at the Paracelsus Recovery Clinic, a private facility in Switzerland known for high-profile clientele and discretion. With fees reportedly reaching $17,500 per night and weekly programs exceeding six figures, the clinic offers extensive medical and therapeutic support designed for clients seeking privacy during difficult periods.

Philanthropy, Politics, and Public Figures

The files also reference major philanthropic and political figures. Melinda Gates appears in correspondence related to business and charitable initiatives, though no allegations of wrongdoing are indicated.

Political leaders such as Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Nikki Haley are also mentioned in various contexts, underscoring the wide social reach Epstein cultivated. The same applies to figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ashley Biden.

Again, authorities maintain that inclusion in the documents does not imply criminal behavior.

Hollywood Connections

The entertainment industry is far from absent in the materials.

Figures such as Naomi Campbell, Alyssa Milano, Whoopi Goldberg, and Amy Schumer appear briefly, largely in connection with events, guest lists, or social introductions.

Other prominent names referenced include Monica Lewinsky and Meghan Markle, primarily tied to industry gatherings from earlier stages of their public lives.

Historical and cultural icons are also cited in broader contextual references, including Marilyn Monroe and Diana Ross, illustrating how Epstein sought proximity to established power and celebrity across generations.

A Network That Touched Every Sphere

The expanding list of public figures—ranging from royalty to lawmakers, philanthropists, entertainers, and activists—demonstrates the extraordinary breadth of Epstein’s social ambitions. For many observers, the most striking takeaway is not necessarily any single name but the scale of the network itself.

Authorities continue to emphasize that appearance in the files does not constitute evidence of wrongdoing. Nevertheless, the disclosures have fueled renewed calls for transparency and accountability, as well as reflection on how influence and access intersect with power.

For those watching closely, the revelations serve as a sobering reminder: prestige, wealth, and global recognition did not shield prominent circles from crossing paths with one of the most notorious figures of the modern era.
