Formerly known as Prince Andrew, Mountbatten-Windsor has faced sustained scrutiny over his ties to Epstein. He has repeatedly denied allegations against him, including claims that he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre when she was a teenager after she was trafficked by Epstein.
In 2022, he reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre, paying an undisclosed sum to resolve her civil sexual assault claim. Giuffre died by suicide in April last year.
Last year, his brother the King removed his remaining royal titles, including his status as Prince and Duke of York.
In the latest batch of released documents, Mountbatten-Windsor’s name appeared numerous times, including within Epstein’s private emails. He was also pictured crouched on all fours over an unidentified woman. However, being referenced or photographed in the files does not in itself indicate wrongdoing.
He has also faced accusations of knowingly passing confidential information to Epstein during his time as UK trade envoy between 2010 and 2011, according to the BBC.
Emails made public by the US Department of Justice appear to show the former duke sharing reports from official visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore.
