Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears repeatedly throughout the files. Long before this latest release, he denied allegations connected to Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex crimes.
Virginia Giuffre accused Andrew of sexually assaulting her multiple times when she was a minor after being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The British monarchy later reached a financial settlement with Giuffre in 2022. Following the posthumous release of her memoir last year, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his remaining royal titles and ordered him to vacate Royal Lodge.
Among the newly released materials is an undated photograph showing Andrew crouched over an unidentified woman, touching her abdomen. Additional emails include exchanges between Epstein and a sender identifying themselves as HRH The Duke of York. In one, Andrew discusses meeting a beautiful Russian woman. In another, he invites Epstein to Buckingham Palace in 2010, two years after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a minor.
