Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor continues to make headlines as more Jeffrey Epstein files are released.
The third round of Epstein documents were released by the United States Justice Department earlier this month, and Andrew’s name came up several times.
Andrew’s connection to the late billionaire sex trafficker was exposed in 2019 when the late Virgina Giuffre alleged that she met the disgraced royal family member through Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre alleged at the time that Andrew had crossed paths in 2001, when she was underage. She sued Andrew for sexual abuse in 2021 and they settled outside of court the following year.
Giuffre’s memoir was released posthumously in October following her death by suicide six months prior. The book included several other allegations against Andrew, including the multiple sexual encounters she had with the former prince. Andrew has continued to deny all allegations against him.
Despite his denials, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his prince title and evicted the former prince from his home in late October.
“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,” a statement read at the time, in part. “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
Keep scrolling for a breakdown to see what was revealed about Andrew in the newly released Epstein files:
Are There Photos of Andrew in the Epstein Files?
The files featured several photos of Andrew alongside both Epstein and Maxwell.
One image showed Andrew laying across multiple women’s laps while Maxwell looked on from behind a couch. Both Andrew and Maxwell’s faces were shown while the women had black boxes over theirs. In another image, the trio could be seen in the royal box at the annual Royal Ascot event.
Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, was also featured in some of the recently released images, even posing with women who have not been identified.
Did Andrew Host Parties at Queen Elizabeth II’s Home?
The photo of Andrew and the women laying on the couch appeared to be taken in the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Sandringham home where the royal family spends the Christmas holidays.
What Was Andrew’s Connection to Ghislaine Maxwell?
Andrew had a friendship with Maxwell through Epstein. One leaked email, which was sent in 2001, apparently shows Andrew discussing his summer at the royal family’s Balmoral home.
“Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?” the email read. “Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people before having to put my nose firmly to the grindstone for the Fall. Any ideas gratefully received!”
Was Andrew Questioned by the FBI?
The Epstein files revealed that the FBI wrote to U.K. officials, asking Andrew to answer questions regarding his relationship to Epstein. The questions were in regards to “any sexual encounters and/or romantic relationships involving Prince Andrew and any female he met through [Ghislaine] Maxwell and/or Epstein,” according to The Telegraph, but Andrew was seemingly never interviewed.
