Ex-Prince Andrew Brought Epstein Activities To The Queen’s Doorstep, Newly Released Files Confirm

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, is once again in the spotlight following reports that he seemingly had Epstein-related encounters within a royal estate.

Once the Duke of York, Andrew is now stripped of his titles and living as a private citizen. However, his long-standing alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein has remained a source of controversy. 

Amid claims that he was aware of the deceased sex offender’s misconduct toward women, new details suggest that even royal residences were not off limits in Andrew's Epstein-linked activities.

On December 19, the U.S. Department of Justice released thousands of documents tied to Epstein's estate, including a photograph showing Andrew inside a royal residence alongside Ghislaine Maxwell and several unidentified women.

The black-and-white image captures a smiling Andrew lying across the laps of five women, whose identities have been redacted. Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is seen standing behind the group, smiling as she looks down at Andrew.

According to People Magazine, the scene appears to have been taken in the Saloon at Sandringham, one of the royal family's treasured properties used for Christmas and New Year celebrations. The tradition was established by Queen Elizabeth in 1988 and has continued ever since.

The photo release comes weeks after allegations suggest Andrew's ties to Epstein were deeper than previously believed. He reportedly continued to trust Epstein despite being aware of his improper behavior toward women.

According to The Blast, attorney Perry Wander, who represents an unnamed actress Andrew dated in the late 1990s, brought the claims to light, alleging that his client said Andrew urged her to get close to Epstein.

"My client has disclosed that Prince Andrew encouraged her to seek out and follow Jeffrey Epstein's guidance, and to spend time with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell," Wander said.

He further claimed that when the actress later reported Epstein's indecent behavior, Andrew allegedly responded that he was "not surprised," adding that another woman had already raised similar accusations.

This incident is said to have occurred roughly a year before Epstein reportedly trafficked 17-year-old Giuffre to London to meet Andrew.

Andrew’s past association with the disgraced financier has led to his fall from the royal brood. In October, King Charles formally stripped him of his remaining titles and honors.

As The Blast reported, the King made the move independently, without pressure from senior royals or the government. A palace statement described the decision as one that was "deemed necessary."

In addition to the loss of his titles, including the Order of the Garter and the Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, Andrew also surrendered his lease on Royal Lodge. He occupied the 30-room mansion for more than two decades and paid only a token rent. 

While the newly released files from the deceased pedophile’s estate have renewed scrutiny on Andrew, they also reference several other prominent figures, as The Blast reported.

Although many details remain unknown due to heavy redactions, those seen in images with the late financier include Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Chris Tucker, and billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson.

Former President Bill Clinton also appears in one image, reportedly showing him in a swimming pool alongside Maxwell and another individual whose identity has been concealed.

However, the disclosed materials have only sparked outrage after observers noticed that a photograph featuring Donald Trump quietly vanished from the website.

According to The Blast, the missing image, labeled file EFTA0000468, reportedly showed an open desk drawer containing several personal photos. Among them was a picture of Trump with a group of young women, as well as another shot of him alongside Epstein and Maxwell.

A review of the digital archive revealed a glaring gap in the numbering sequence, jumping from "467" to "469," confirming the file's absence. 

Critics have since accused the DOJ of lacking transparency in its handling of the release, with many questioning why only a portion of the documents was published, despite Congress requiring that all unclassified materials be made available.
