A note about a message from the Duchess of York has been unearthed in a pad seized by police from the Miami mansion of newly-accused paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The note, penned by an unknown hand on January 25, 2005, at 7.15pm, is from 'HRH Duchess of York Sarah (Fergie)' and says 'she is expecting your call'.

Sarah Ferguson's former husband Prince Andrew was a close friend of Epstein and was once accused in a lawsuit of sexually abusing an underage girl - claims Buckingham Palace has denied and have since been struck from the record.

The note was among dozens of messages left for the billionaire financier from the likes of magician David Copperfield, close friend Jean-Luc Brunel, and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who dated Epstein and was part of his inner circle for decades.

It was revealed in 2011 that Andrew had arranged for Epstein to pay the Duchess £15,000 to help clear a £78,000 debt she owed to her former personal assistant, Johnny O'Sullivan. It is unclear when this payment was made.
