Epstein Email Signed ‘A’ Seemingly Points To Ex-Prince Andrew Asking For 'Inappropriate Friends' To Balmoral

As the Epstein files continue to unravel, new threads are increasingly pointing toward former Prince Andrew's alleged involvement.

After mounting pressure on the United States Department of Justice, long-awaited documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein were finally made public. Among the trove were materials that appear to implicate the former Duke of York further. 

As these revelations come to light, Andrew continues to face the fallout from his association with Epstein, now living as a commoner stripped of his royal status

The latest batch of released materials includes emails between Ghislaine Maxwell and a sender known as "The Invisible Man," using the address "abx17@dial.pipex.com" and the initial "A."

According to the Daily Mail, in August 2001, the sender wrote he was at "Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family," explaining he was "exhausted" from the activities, before asking Maxwell:

"Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?" He noted availability from August 25 to September 2 and signed off with "See ya A xxx."

Maxwell replied days later, apologizing that she had only found "appropriate friends." On August 18, the man wrote back, saying he was "distraught" as he shared news of his longtime valet's death, noting the aide had been with him since childhood.

He described his life as "off balance" and in "turmoil," adding that he had left the "RN." A separate 2002 exchange between the two appears to point to the former Duke of York. Maxwell forwarded a text that she sent to an acquaintance to "the invisible man."

"I just gave Andrew your telephone no," Maxwell's message read. "He is interested in seeing the Nazca Lines. He can ride but it is not his favorite sport ie pass on the horses."

She further expressed her hopes for him to be introduced to friends who are "discreet and fun." The "Invisible Man" replied, "Got it, will ring him today if I can. Love you, A xxx."

While the emails add to a growing body of evidence tied to Andrew's association with Epstein, another striking revelation is a black-and-white photograph reportedly showing the former working royal engaging in Epstein-linked activities on royal property.

As The Blast previously reported, the image showed Andrew reclining across the legs of five women whose identities were obscured. Standing over the group was Maxwell, smiling at Andrew.

The photo is said to have been taken inside the saloon at Sandringham Palace, long known to be the place for the Royal Family's Christmas and New Year traditions.

In addition to the released documents, The Blast reported claims from an unnamed actress that further linked Andrew to Epstein before his alleged encounter with Virginia Giuffre.

According to her lawyer, Perry Wander, the actress, who was romantically involved with Andrew in the late 1990s, recounted an incident that occurred a year before Epstein allegedly trafficked Giuffre to London.

Wander claimed his client told Andrew about Epstein behaving inappropriately toward her. Rather than expressing shock, Andrew allegedly responded that someone else had previously made a similar complaint. 

Despite this, Wander said Andrew encouraged his client to spend more time with Epstein and Maxwell, stating that he trusted them.

In response to the persistent allegations, the Royal Family ultimately moved to sever formal ties with Andrew.

Per The Blast, a Buckingham Palace statement issued in October confirmed the start of proceedings to strip him of his royal titles, styles, and honors.

The decision reduced him to a private citizen known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and required him to vacate his residence on the Windsor estate.

A senior royal emphasized that the move was necessary and noted that the process had been under consideration for some time.

Despite efforts to distance the monarchy from Andrew, the newly released Epstein files have reignited scrutiny, an outcome royal experts had long warned about.

As The Blast reported, commentator Katie Nicholl previously cautioned that the full release of Epstein's records could unleash damaging revelations.

She noted that while the Royal Family hoped the scandal would fade, they could face a "deluge" if all documents became public.

Nicholl described the controversy as having a "boomerang effect," resurfacing repeatedly and returning in ways that are "catastrophic" for Andrew.
