The messages, part of the so-called Epstein files, show that the young woman was invited at the request of the tycoon, who was in London and wanted her to accompany him to the meeting along with other acquaintances.
In 2010, then-Prince Andrew invited American financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and a Romanian woman described as “very beautiful” to a private dinner at Buckingham Palace, according to emails released by the American government and shared this Sunday by the British press.
The messages, part of the so-called Epstein files, show that the young woman was invited at the request of the tycoon, who was in London and wanted her to accompany him to the meeting along with other acquaintances.
Exchanges of messages between the two men reveal that Epstein contacted the former Duke of York to meet and that he offered him several options, including going to a restaurant or a private room.
“Alternatively, we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and in great privacy”, proposed the brother of Charles III, who signed with his initial ‘A’.
Epstein responded: “Bp [Palácio de Buckingham]please (heart).” And later he added: “I want some time alone with you; However, I’m here with [nomes censurados]should I take them to give them a little life?”
“Yes. There’s plenty of room to talk here! Bring them,” replied the man now called Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his titles by the king in October last year, when the extent of his relationship with the late millionaire became known.
Epstein later wrote: “Add one more [nome censurado]very beautiful Romanian”.
There are no details about how the night went or the rest of the guests, but the next day, Epstein told the woman in an email that Andrew found her very attractive.
“And you didn’t want to go because you didn’t like your jeans; you were perfect and Andrew thought you were beautiful. No man looks at clothes, they look beyond what we do now,” said the tycoon, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking of minors, in the message.
Andrew withdrew from public life in 2019 in the face of social pressure over his friendship with Epstein, which increased when, in 2025, American Virginia Giuffre published a memoir detailing that the then-prince abused her on at least three occasions when she was a minor.
The second son of Elizabeth II, who denies the accusations, reached a million-dollar legal agreement in 2022 with Giuffre — who committed suicide in April last year at the age of 41 — so that she could withdraw her civil case.
After stripping him of his hereditary title of prince in October, Charles III ordered his brother to move from the mansion of Royal Lodge, at Windsor Castle (near London), to a house on the Sandringham estate (east of England), the sovereign’s private property.
