Documents allegedly incriminating former Prince Andrew have been “secretly redacted” following their release, with emails mentioning him now only accessible through screenshots. One redacted email from 2010 references a conversation between Jeffrey Epstein and a Russian woman about contacting Andrew. Epstein survivor Jess Michaels criticized the redactions as a means to protect the powerful and intimidate survivors. Andrew, who denies any wrongdoing, has faced scrutiny over his ties to Epstein and settled a civil sexual assault claim with Virginia Giuffre in 2022.
