Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited Jeffrey Epstein to meet him at Buckingham Palace after the child sex offender was released from house arrest, new documents show.
The latest installment released by the US Department of Justice includes a 2010 email exchange between the financier and the then-prince.
Another email thread from the same year shows Epstein describing Andrew as “intelligent” and “beautiful” to meet a 26-year-old Russian woman.
In an email exchange on 29 September 2010, Epstein said he was in London and asked what Andrew was doing, suggesting they could catch up and that they needed “private time”. Andrew replied that he was dining with a Saudi prince and a “secret intelligence agency” but said “we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and be very private”.
He later emailed Epstein: “Glad you’re here at BP. Come with anyone, I’ll be here for free from 1600 to 2000.” BP is thought to represent Buckingham Palace.
Epstein had been released from house arrest earlier that year as part of his sentence after pleading guilty to child sex crimes. Another 3 million pages related to this case were released on Friday.
One file shows a photo of Andrew lying on the floor, on all fours.
In a separate email exchange in December 2010, Epstein told Andrew that he had a female friend whom he thought the then-prince would enjoy meeting.
Andrew replied that he was unable to meet as he was in Geneva, Switzerland, but would “be glad to see her.” He then asked what Epstein had given the woman about him.
Epstein replied: “She’s 26, Russian, smart [sic] Beautiful, trustworthy.” He gave her Andrew’s email address.
Andrew was stripped of his royal titles in October last year amid continued headlines about his friendship with Epstein, who killed himself in prison in 2019 while facing new child molestation allegations.
He had to move out of the Royal Lodge at Windsor, where his brother, King Charles, Andrew’s “Official Process for Removing Style, Titles, and Honors”.
Also shows a tranche of messages Elon Musk has a more extensive relationship with Epstein than previously known. Emails from 2013 appear to show the two texting each other amiably as the entrepreneur makes plans to visit Epstein’s island, Little St. James.
It also turned out that Epstein transferred thousands of pounds to Peter Mandelson’s husband, Reinaldo Avila da Silvaafter his release from prison in 2009, according to emails published by the Justice Department.
Da Silva emailed Epstein on 7 September 2009, two months after Epstein’s release, asking him to fund the osteopathy course and other expenses.
Mandelson said Friday: “I was never guilty of or involved in his crimes. Like everyone else, I learned the real truth about him after his death.” DaSilva has yet to respond.
