Andrew Windsor is all over newly-released documents from the Epstein Files

Inevitably, whenever there’s a big document dump from the FBI’s massive files on Jeffrey Epstein, the conversation quickly turns to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew. At this point, that feels like one of the purposes of the Epstein Files – to draw attention to the biggest names, and to ensure that Andrew in particular pulls attention away from all of the depraved, disgusting old men who associated and partied with Jeffrey Epstein. In this latest cache of documents, there are dozens of emails between Epstein and Andrew, all of which are very chatty, if not gossipy. Epstein is openly facilitating young women for Andrew, providing introductions to a 20-something Russian woman in several emails, and promising to find Andrew someone if he wanted to have more children. There are emails about planned visits back and forth, and promises made to Epstein about spending time at Buckingham Palace, Balmoral, Windsor Castle and more. And there is a bizarre set of photos of Andrew looming over what appears to be a preteen or teen girl, who is prone on a floor. The Telegraph is trying to frame all of this as “thank god King Charles already unroyaled Andrew!”

This is what the Palace had feared all along. The wholesale dump of three million documents, without warning, laying bare the emails, photographs, text messages, financial records and legal paperwork of Jeffrey Epstein, with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at the heart of it.

There are photographs of the then Prince Andrew on all fours and smiling, looming over the body of a woman lying on the floor, his hand on her torso. There is an invitation to Buckingham Palace from Andrew to Epstein, timed after the financier’s jail sentence for procuring a girl aged under 18 for prostitution. Also released is an enthusiastic reply to an offer of entertaining a 26-year-old “beautiful, trustworthy” Russian woman, signed – excruciatingly – “HRH The Duke of York KG”.

The latest files released by the US department of justice contain references to business deals, introductions to the wealthy, and arrangements made around the world to make the then Prince’s life a little easier and more – to use one of Epstein’s favourite words – “fun”.

They are still being trawled through, but there are 2,549 mentions of “Prince Andrew”, 798 of the “Duke of York” and 107 of the “Invisible Man”, the alias Andrew used to exchange warm, flirtatious, and occasionally painfully insightful, emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now in jail in the US for procuring young girls for Epstein.

For Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, packing up at Royal Lodge to move into a new home he does not want, the headlines will make unpleasant reading. At Buckingham Palace, courtiers and King alike will be braced for more – and relieved that they have already taken action. Aides have moved, privately, to protect Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to some extent. “There is a duty of care here too,” several sources said, despite an acknowledgement that the former Prince has made “seriously bad decisions”.

The King will fund a smaller home for his younger brother on his private Sandringham estate, making sure Andrew does not fall again into the trap of relying on the money of rich, influential friends and acquaintances who expect something in return.

Perhaps most strikingly, the files reveal the extent to which both Epstein and Maxwell were enmeshed in Andrew’s life. They organised accommodation, dinners, meetings and the company of women. Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson in return offered access to palaces and castles, discussing whether Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, their daughters, would meet friends of friends passing through London. “Love you,” Andrew told Maxwell regularly, signing “A xxx”. She called him “sweat pea” – a spelling mistake rather than a reference to his alleged sweating disorder, presumably – and he confided in her about the death of the valet who had been with him since he was two: “My whole life is in turmoil as I have no one to look after me.”

There is no mistaking how the King’s brother was used by Epstein: “Prince Andrew is at my house all week,” went the emails, along with an invitation to his high-powered contacts to call or pop in. Epstein and Maxwell are revealed as conduits, passing messages and contact details to those considered worthy of Andrew’s time. “Prince Andrew has been emailing you, with no response?” Epstein writes to a contact in 2010.

[From The Telegraph]

It’s so typically British and typically royalist to write these words with a straight face: “There is no mistaking how the King’s brother was used by Epstein.” Oh, poor Andrew, he was USED by two human traffickers, you guys! He was used because of his titles and his access, boohoo! Gee, I wonder what Andrew got in exchange for all of those palace visits and Balmoral hunting trips? Was it “unlimited access to trafficked women and children?” One more thing: the new batch of files prove that Andrew was still in contact with Epstein well after Epstein’s arrest/conviction. But we all knew that, certainly.

A piece of late-breaking news: Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke out following the latest Epstein File document dump. Starmer was once again asked if Andrew should apologize to all of his victims and Epstein’s victims. Starmer said: “I have always approached this question with the victims of Epstein in mind. Epstein’s victims have to be the first priority. As for whether there should be an apology, that’s a matter for Andrew. But, yes, in terms of testifying, I have always said anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever form they are asked to do that. You can’t be victim-centred if you’re not prepared to do that.” As in, Starmer is saying pretty bluntly that if it’s up to him, he would send Andrew to Washington to testify before the congressional inquiry into Epstein and his associates.

    This is damaging to the House of Windsor.X posters are trying to drag Harry into this, claiming he had knowledge of the Epstein scandal. Harry’s name would have come out in the court docs.

    • Lawrenceville says:

      Sorry but you carrying this claim to other platforms is giving it more legs and oxygen. So every time someone googles it, it will appear on more platforms than X because you folks are spreading it.

    • Angied says:

      No one is putting H’s name anywhere near this crap. I call bs. People like you are trying to spread this nonsense. Some of you like to go to derangers reddit sites and spread their bs. Please stop.

    • Thinking says:

      I never saw Harry’s name mentioned anywhere.

      See a lot of gross stuff about Bill Gates and Trump though. Yikes.

  2. Tarte Au Citron says:

    Tinfoil tiara time…. what if PW hired the crisis manager because he got wind of this release. How insane it would be if he were somehow mentioned in the files.

    • Cheesecat says:

      But when was prince andrew visiting the Island. In the 90s? Wouldn’t pw be too young to go with him then?

      • Tarte Au Citron says:

        Thinking if Andrew & Epatein were in contact until the 2010s, then maybe?PW was alledged to have gone dogging 5 or so years ago but don’t know how true that was. He was never going to be faithful to Kate. If he was at risk of getting exposed, but if there was a chance where he could get some fun privately? The whole thing is gross 🙁

      • Steph says:

        There’s evidence that they brought their daughters to his events. William is older than them… @cheesecat

    • Jais says:

      I don’t know that he would need a crisis manager if it’s just more horrifying info about Andrew. Now, if his name ever came out on those docs, then yeah. But that hasn’t happened that I know of. And the timeline doesn’t match.

    • Harla says:

      I think it would be more about the absolutely horrible way the BRF has continued to protect Andrew and now people are seeing that and asking is the monarchy and this family of predators and idiots worth our taxes.

  3. Smart&Messy says:

    “yes, in terms of testifying, I have always said anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever form they are asked to do that”
    To me it still sounds like, oh I know he should testify but I can’t do anything, he does whatever he wants.

    • DK says:

      But why CAN’T the Prime Minister do anything? And would that be true (he and his government) have no power to extradite etc) for any person, or is it just bc Andrew is a royal and thus under some different set of rules?

      Does he have no power to call for an investigation on his own? Even/especially as it sounds like Andrew might have been compromised from a politicial/intelligence perspective? (They should probably verify whether those Russian girls were spies, etc., no?)

  4. Alex Can says:

    Why is Andrew treated as a witness? He was clearly a participant. He shouldn’t be giving information to a congressional inquiry, he should be questioned by police. He’s still being protected by the Royal family, monarchy, the government and the entire system. Jfc, enough!

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      He can be, and, obviously, is both a witness and a participant. He can’t be forced to testify against himself so he would either have to make some kind of plea deal or invoke the fifth amendment and refuse all testimony. Neither option is attractive which is why he’ll never set foot in the US again.

  5. sunniside up says:

    Those pictures looking as if he is fondling an unconscious girl makes me think of Pelicot.

    • Me at home says:

      I do wonder if Trump’s goons/interns realized who the guy was in that picture. At that camera angle, he doesn’t look like he usually does in a suit/tie/uniform with fake medals (although it’s obviously him). Was that release a mistake? Surely they don’t want people demanding Ghislaine answer more questions from her spa prison? Then again, maybe they wanted to distract from Trump and pretend this doc release was “real” by throwing out some red meat.

  6. IdlesAtCranky says:

    “There is a duty of care” FOR ANDREW???

    Good grief on toast, these people have absolutely zero comprehension of how they are viewed by anyone with even the slightest pretension to morals or ethics.

    • Harla says:

      But this loathsome family had no problem putting Harry and his family in the firing line, both literally and figuratively.

      • IdlesAtCranky says:

        Loathsome is exactly what they are. The Left-Behinds, the entire court that spins and fluffs for them, and their pet scorpions in the media.

        There are so many people in the world today who seriously need to be stripped of everything they own and dumped naked on a desert island.

    • sunniside up says:

      If Andrew has be unjustly accused he can always go to the US and stand his trial

    • DK says:

      Yep, and the whole framing of it as “Charles must now pay for Andrew’s lifestyle so he is never again tempted to seek money from dodgy wealthy people” is absolutely off the wall.

      Like, you think he is STILL an active problem? And the solution is have the BRF fund him so he behaves?

      Here’s a thought: put him in prison, where he belongs, and that will ALSO curtail his gross SA predilections and his ability to cultivate contacts in exchange for royal/state secrets.

  7. anna says:

    there are also so many weird emails from sarah ferguson too. some joking about one of her daughter’s having a shagging weekend, and another from 2009 (which would have been just after he was released from prison so there is NO way she could have not known) about her seeing him as her brother, and referencing a meal she had with epstein and both her daughters! she was so desperate for anyone with any ounce of power or money, but this is insane. not that this is new, but they should never be trusted.

  8. Digital Unicorn says:

    Apparently there is much worse to come with regards to both Andrew and Fergie – the Fail is all over this.

    Its disgusting but he won’t see the inside of a court room or prison – Chuck and the gov will make sure of it. He’ll be sent off to live away from the family, being supported by the Crown. Fergie will be thrown to the wolves – the family won’t back her up regardless of what Andrew wants.

    I feel for Beatrice and Eugenie – having these 2 deplorables as parents who have embarrassed them their whole lives. Charles should be protecting them not his brother.

    • Tessa says:

      Fergie was divorced from Andrew in 1996. She squandered whatever settlement she got. She should have scaled down after the divorce. I wonder if fergie got security from the royal family post divorce. Free.

  9. Harla says:

    “There is a duty of care here to”…”despite an acknowledgment that the former Prince has made “seriously bad decisions”. WTF?!?! Duty of care? Bad decisions? This statement made my stomach churn! The level of protection of this “man” makes me absolutely furious and sick to my stomach. #AbolishTheMonarchy

    I’m beginning to think that all the focus on Andrew’s involvement here is also about hiding other people’s crimes. Not saying that he’s not a loathsome POS but it also seems like he’s low hanging fruit here and once again, “a useful idiot”.

    • IdlesAtCranky says:

      Harla, you & I are definitely on the same page.

    • Nanea says:

      “I’m beginning to think that all the focus on Andrew’s involvement here is also about hiding other people’s crimes”

      Crimes like… hiding bodies around Kensington Palace, Sandringham, and wherever else murdered young women were found.

      Victims of crimes that were never really investigated.

      Fingers crossed for someone to put two and two together, and finally start working on these cases.

    • monlette says:

      It’s sickening to me that they make excuses for him being too naive and trusting to avoid Epstein’s snare that they won’t make for the actual children who were the real victims.

  10. Brassy Rebel says:

    So this is what the royals feared “all along”? Which means “the palace” knew all along and has routinely covered for this despicable rapist (and possibly murderer?). Long past time to abolish this wretched institution. If this doesn’t destroy it, I don’t know what will.

  11. Wow so we are going with the poor pedo was used? My god the spin they are putting on this new dump of the pedo doing horrible things to the victims!!! Saw this article last night in People and low and be hold the comments were not being visible. I checked three times and the comments weren’t visible!! The pedo got protection there and the Sussexes comments are kept open for the bots and derangers to have those comments seen.

  12. Chrissie T says:

    Everything is about saving the Monarchy. They don’t care so much about Andrew but they do know that this could destroy them all. Starmer is trying to play both sides. It’s like Watergate where it was the coverup that brought Nixon down in the end. What did Charles know and what did the government know and when.

  13. Tessa says:

    Epstein would find Andrew a mistress or wife to have children with. Very creepy. Charles continues to fund Andrews life style.

  14. Amy Bee says:

    There’s no way the Palace didn’t know what was going on with Andrew the whole time. Instead of focusing on smearing Harry and Meghan the press should have been investigating Andrew especially after the 2019 interview.

    • Sid says:

      They knew. Just like they knew about Jimmy Saville and just like they knew about Lord Mountbatten. They just didn’t care because that wretched system puts the monarchy above everything, even human decency.

    • Gail says:

      There’s a difference between legitimate press and the British ‘rags’. In Britain anyway, most folks seem to prefer to believe the rags vs the true media, of which, I think, maybe ONLY the Guardian is still legit, and only 50% legit.

  15. Lady Digby says:

    Andrew will be helped to skedaddle abroad rather than expose the RF further. Quite frankly this is completely unacceptable. What was everyone doing when Andrew was swimming in all this sleaze? Didn’t anybody at the Firm warn him about dodgy associations? What about his official bodyguards ? What did they see when he was cavorting with Epstein and co? What has been covered up? Who knew what and when? Why should Andrew get away with everything and not being held accountable if criminal conduct is involved? Let’s be clear Andrew is an adult and responsible for his own conduct but how much did the Firm know and cover up? I think we are entitled to some answers and the victims definitely entitled are!

    • Unblinkered says:

      The actual nitty-gritty of what went on within the four walls of Epstein’s homes may not have been known. But you’d think that through the Security Services (UK and U.S.) the PM’s office would have been aware of a lot of it, and subsequently the Queen and her Private Secretary would have been warned. It looks as though QEII preferred to ignore all the unpleasantness to continue indulging her favourite son.

      However, now that it is known, surely Andrew MB has to be exiled abroad – out of Europe? It’s all sordid beyond belief.

      • one of the marys says:

        Exiled to where? And why? Why would a country or regime shelter him? What would they demand for his protection and how would it reflect on them? This suggestion interests me a great deal

  16. bisynaptic says:

    I’m sorry, what?? Murder?!?
    Starmer is useless, but we knew he would be.

  17. Gail says:

    Seems all this coming out might could give ole Randy Andy a heart attack…..or something.

  18. Elly says:

    The justice department must think the American public is very naive. Epstein obviously didn’t traffic these girls just for his own and a few other men’s use. He obviously had a large network of powerful men that he serviced. Andrew’s name has been released because they know he is protected. What about all the other high powered men involved? For Trump to claim he is “innocent” is nauseating. At the very least, he knew what was going on since he was friends and neighbors with Epstein for years. He continues to protect these men.

  19. Teagirl says:

    I expect the next move will be that Andrew will find his new home too small/isolated/whatever or that the renovations are to take such a long time that he will go away for a while .. to the Middle East. And may not return.

    • Mightymolly says:

      You’ve nailed it. Dubai? Saudi? That’s where the real money is in this bet. Which human traffickers paradise will he choose?

      • Visa Diva says:

        This is why I don’t want Sweat Pea to leave the UK. Those places offer more access to vulnerable women and girls.

  20. Chantal1 says:

    Since Andrew has been “punished” (what a sick joke), the DOJ will continue to release docs that incl him and other names that were previously known to the public, to give the appearance of complying with the Court’s Order, despite obviously doing everything they can to circumvent said Order. Hiring a crisis manager is likely the smartest thing Willy Nilly has ever done, as C-Rex and the UK govt seem to think that the actions C-Rex has taken should suffice as “justice”. They don’t seem to understand that Felon47 would throw anyone under the bus to deflect from his crimes.

    The DOJ has allegedly been instructed to release only Democrats names that are in the files. Unlike MAGA, Democrat voters want ALL of the names in the EpFiles released and the culprits/participants to face justice, regardless of political party. We understand and agree that E’s victims deserve justice. Whereas MAGAs bloodlust is for “the Dems/liberals to be punished. Their increasing discontent and anger at the slow release and ridiculous redactions of the files continues, as some of them (way too slowly) are realizing that their Daddy/godking is either a pedo protector (and worse, a Democrat pedo protector) or he lied to them and is in the files himself. Sadly, other MAGA (unfortunately too many) will continue to believe his lies no matter what.

  21. samipup says:

    Why HASN’T he been arrested? Is Britain a no extradition country? Why can’t they arrest and charge him for crimes in GB? I mean there are photos lol. Are royals immune from prosecution? I wonder how much the royals, including Thee Queen knew.

    • Anne Maria says:

      There is no crime being committed in that photo. What would they charge him with? Being a grade A sleazebag who one can conjecture might have done worse?

      • Magdalena says:

        There is a child passed out on the floor in a room with other adults present, one of whom is hovering above her, one taking the photograph and another relaxing with feet on the table behind Andrew. If they can identify the child and link her to a missing persons register or as a reported victim of abuse then YES, they could feasibly conclude that that photo could feature heavily as evidence in a court of law.

  22. Flow says:

    Kaiser, also report on Sophia of Norway and Mette Merit

  23. Mightymolly says:

    At this point I’m less concerned about seeing Andy face real justice than I am about knowing who knew what and when. At the end of the day, Andy is no one of any real importance. But if the BRF covered it up, blow that cover open. As they continue to protect him, their complicity is deepening by the hour.

  24. Magdalena says:

    I cannot help but think that all of this focus on Andrew (and Fergie) by the British media is to do some heavy covering-up of other senior royals who may also be in the Epstein files. Would NOT surprise me at this stage.

    But yes, I agree that the US media are using Andrew to distract from prominent Americans who are also in the files. Surely there are other men in photographs, not just Andrew?

    And the UK media are referring to Andrew being pictured “with a woman”. But to me, that is clearly the prostrate figure of a CHILD over which he is hovering?

  25. Anne Maria says:

    This is all hideous and there’s plenty blame to go around. But the focus on Andrew is a bit of a cheek when trump is going around telling the cult he’s been exonerated. Get trump in to testify before bothering about high profile but low importance royals.
