In another exchange, someone signing as “A” and “HRH The Duke of York” discusses meeting a “beautiful” Russian woman. The same sender also invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace in 2010 — two years after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution, for which he served 13 months.
Additional emails from Ghislaine Maxwell to a contact dubbed “The Invisible Man” suggest “Andrew” should opt to spend time with “Sarah and the kids” at a Spanish resort rather than visit “the Island,” where “5 stunning red heads” would be staying.
Andrew continues to deny all allegations of wrongdoing.
Sarah Ferguson’s Role
Sarah Ferguson also appears repeatedly in the documents.
One March 2011 message shows Epstein asking publicist Mike Sitrick to “draft a statement that in an ideal world Fergie would put out.” Days earlier, the former duchess had told the Evening Standard she felt “deep regret” about her ties to Epstein.
“I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children,” Ferguson said at the time, apologising for accepting £15,000 from him.
However, a separate 2011 email revealed last year shows her referring to Epstein as “my dear, dear friend.”
