In newly released emails, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, expressed a desire to meet Jeffrey Epstein in April 2010, mere months after Epstein’s prison release for trafficking minors. The correspondence, revealed during a court case involving Epstein’s estate, raised further scrutiny from Virginia Giuffre’s family, who allege Andrew’s involvement in her trafficking. Despite Andrew’s denial of the accusations, Buckingham Palace has acknowledged “serious lapses of judgment” and officially removed his royal titles, now referring to him as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
