Jeffrey Epstein’s Communications Detail Visits During Andrew’s New York Stays

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor previously claimed he visited New York City in 2010 in order to “honourably” end his friendship with the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

Jeffrey Epstein arranged “after school” visits from female guests while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor stayed at his plush New York mansion.

Disturbing emails in the latest Epstein Files drop reveal the convicted child sex offender exchanged several messages about arranging to see female visitors during then-Prince Andrew’s infamous visit to the Big Apple. One email to Epstein, dated December 1, 2010, said: “Confirmed that she would come after school.”

Another creepy email sent to Epstein two days later read: “Will come after school.” It is unclear the age of the senders at the time. The last message was shared the day after Andrew mingled at a star-studded dinner with Epstein.

There is no evidence Andrew met any of the people Epstein had messaged about “after school” visits. Andrew has strongly and consistently denied any wrongdoing regarding his friendship with Epstein.

Andrew previously told then-BBC journalist Emily Maitlis in 2019 he visited Epstein and stayed at his mansion to “break up their friendship”. It later emerged he had messaged Epstein after December 2010, leading King Charles III to strip his brother of all royal titles.

Peggy Siegal, an entertainment publicist, arranged a “very last minute” causal dinner for Andrew on the same day Epstein arranged for the second “after school visit”. The guest list included film director Woody Allen, his wife Soon-Yi, broadcasters Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos, comedian Chelsea Handler, and talk show host Charlie Rose.

The emails show how Epstein continued to have links to some of the most influential people in entertainment, despite his 2008 conviction for child sex offences. Siegal later described the evening as “sensational”.

But details about the dinner party emerged in the US days later, with emails revealing Epstein was not happy that a journalist appeared to have been briefed. He said: “Not good for Andrew, not good for me.”

Andrew’s meeting with Epstein during his week in New York would come under greater scrutiny after a photo of the pair strolling through Central Park became widely shared. The former prince said he had met Epstein in person as it was more “honourable” to end the friendship in person.

“Look, because of what has happened, I don’t think it is appropriate that we should remain in contact,” he told Ms Maitlis in 2019. The latest Epstein Files release has heaped further embarrassment and raised further questions about Andrew’s friendship with the convicted paedophile.

An email appeared to confirm a photo of Andrew with the late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was real. Another photo showed Andrew propping himself up over a young female laid face up on the floor.
