Andrew emailed Epstein about ‘beautiful Russian’ and invited him to Buckingham Palace, new files suggest

Emails reveal Prince Andrew invited Epstein and Maxwell to royal residences, including Balmoral, amid ongoing scrutiny and legal fallout from Epstein's sex trafficking case.

  • On Friday, the US Department of Justice published more than three million Epstein documents including a March 31 2002 Maxwell email to The Invisible Man and showing Andrew inviting Jeffrey Epstein to Buckingham Palace with promises of `lots of privacy`.
  • Historical disclosures — from Epstein's 2019 death to Maxwell's 2022 sentencing — underpin scrutiny that led Prince Andrew to step down in 2019 and lose his royal titles.
  • In the exchanges, Epstein describes a 26-year-old Russian woman as `beautiful, trustworthy` and says she has Andrew's email, with Maxwell calling him `sweet pea` after the Queen Mother died.
  • The Department of Justice noted that being mentioned in the files does not indicate wrongdoing, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied all allegations, stating he `vigorously` rejects them on 17 October 2025.
  • Records show Andrew continued visiting Epstein after his 2008 conviction and was photographed at Epstein's East Side townhouse in December 2010, drawing criticism.
