Andrew has consistently denied allegations that he sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre when she was a teenager after she was trafficked by Epstein. Despite denying ever meeting her, he paid a multi million pound settlement in 2022 to resolve a civil lawsuit. Giuffre died by suicide in April last year.

His name appears hundreds of times in the newly released documents, including private correspondence. Claims contained within the files allege that Epstein arranged for a woman to be sent to the UK to meet Andrew, and that Andrew and Epstein asked an exotic dancer to participate in a sexual encounter at Epstein’s Florida home.

There are also allegations that Andrew shared confidential reports from official overseas visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore during his time as the UK’s trade envoy.

Royal fallout deepens amid calls to remember victims

Despite his repeated denials, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his remaining royal titles late last year, including his status as prince and Duke of York. Andrew reportedly left Royal Lodge for the Sandringham estate last week.
