UK Police to Probe New Epstein Claims Against Prince Andrew
In a latest development, British police are set to review allegations that Jeffrey Epstein facilitated a sex encounter between Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and an unnamed woman at the Royal Lodge in Windsor in 2010. The claims emerged as Prince Andrew moved out of his home, sparking fresh scrutiny over his ties to the late financier.
According to reports, the woman in question was reportedly given a tour of Buckingham Palace following the alleged encounter, adding weight to claims that she was somehow connected to the royal family. Thames Valley police have confirmed they are assessing the information and will be reviewing the case as it falls within their jurisdiction.
The allegations come amid renewed pressure on Prince Andrew to testify before US Congress about his connections to Epstein, who died last April while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges. The prince has consistently denied any wrongdoing in his dealings with Epstein.
This latest development marks a fresh turn of events in the controversy surrounding Prince Andrew's association with Epstein. The prince was stripped of his titles in 2022 after a book published by an Epstein accuser, Virginia Giuffre, revealed intimate details about their encounters. Buckingham Palace has since announced that Prince Andrew will be moving out of Royal Lodge while his permanent residence undergoes renovations.
The woman at the center of these allegations reportedly spent a night with Prince Andrew before being given access to Buckingham Palace and tea. Her lawyer, Brad Edwards, has hinted at plans to file a civil lawsuit on her behalf against the former prince.
Critics have called for greater transparency from the royal family regarding their ties to Epstein, citing concerns that they may have been complicit in his wrongdoing. Prince Edward, Andrew's brother, made a public statement about remembering victims, but stopped short of calling for further action against his sibling.
