Former Prince Andrew faces new allegation linked to Epstein

New claim emerges

A second woman has alleged that Jeffrey Epstein arranged for her to travel to the United Kingdom for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, previously known as Prince Andrew.

The woman’s lawyer said Epstein sent her to the UK in 2010. She claims she spent a night with Mountbatten-Windsor at Royal Lodge and later received a tour of Buckingham Palace.

Background and denials

Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein, who died in a New York jail in 2019. However, his long association with Epstein has kept him under public scrutiny.

In October 2025, Mountbatten-Windsor lost his remaining royal title. Buckingham Palace also confirmed that he would give up the lease on Royal Lodge, his Windsor residence.

Details of the allegation

According to the BBC, the woman was in her twenties at the time of the alleged incident and is not British. Her identity has not been made public.

The claim adds to previous allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, who said Epstein trafficked her to London in 2001 to meet Mountbatten-Windsor when she was 17. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 at the age of 41.

Following the publication of Giuffre’s posthumous memoir last year, Mountbatten-Windsor lost several royal privileges.

Newly released documents

This week, the United States Department of Justice released additional Epstein related files. Some documents include photographs that appear to show Mountbatten-Windsor with an unidentified woman. The images do not include context, and officials have not explained their origin.

Other emails released on Friday suggest Epstein invited Mountbatten-Windsor to dine with a 26 year old Russian woman in August 2010. Separate messages indicate Epstein received an offer to dine at Buckingham Palace. These exchanges occurred two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex from a minor.

Political reactions

U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to release all Epstein related documents by December 19.

In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Mountbatten-Windsor should cooperate with investigators.

“I have always said that anyone with information should be prepared to share it,” Starmer said.

In the United States, Representative Robert Garcia previously requested that Mountbatten-Windsor testify before Congress.

Ongoing investigations

No new criminal charges have been announced following the latest document releases. Authorities continue to review Epstein related materials as public interest remains high.
