The British royal family faces a new wave of embarrassment following the release of more documents from the US investigation into J and then-Prince Andrew.
include an invitation from Andrew to Epstein for dinner at Buckingham Palace, an offer from Epstein to introduce the Briton to a 26-year-old Russian woman, and photos that appear to show Andrew kneeling over an as-yet-unidentified woman, or girl, lying on the floor.

The revelations come three months after King Charles III stripped Andrew of his royal titles, including the right to be called prince, in an attempt to insulate the British monarchy from the constant stories about his younger brother’s relationship with Epstein that have tarnished the royal family for more than 10 years.
As a result of the king’s move, the damage caused by the disclosure will likely be limited to Andrew himself, believes Craig Prescott, an expert in constitutional law and monarchy at Royal Holloway, University of London.

The documents raise serious questions about Andrew’s judgment, while also offering a rare look at how some of the world’s super elite behave behind closed doors, Prescott further explains. Andrew has been questioned about his relationship with Epstein since 2008, when the wealthy financier pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution.
In 2011, the now-deceased Virginia Giuffre alleged that she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to have sex with Andrew when she was just 17 years old. The then-prince tried to hush up the controversy in an interview with the BBC in 2019, but the appearance only fueled the scandal.
The newly released emails include a 2010 exchange of messages between Epstein and an account identified as “The Duke” after the financier was released from house arrest. Before being banned from using the title, Andrew was the Duke of York.

“I have a friend who I think you would like to have dinner with,” writes Epstein. Duque replies: “Of course. I’m in Geneva until the morning of the 22nd, but I’d be delighted to see you.” The email is signed simply as “A.”.
In another email with excerpts omitted, Epstein says: “She is 26, Russian, intelligent, beautiful, trustworthy.” The exchange of messages shocked former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, who pointed out that it would be highly unusual for a royal to meet someone they knew so little about.

In another email exchange in 2010, Epstein said he was in London. “I’ll call you when I arrive if you can give me a number. Alternatively, we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace very privately,” says Duque. “BP (Buckingham Palace), please,” responds Epstein. Source: AP
