Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited a Russian model and depraved Jeffrey Epstein to Buckingham Palace years after he was convicted of disturbing child sex offences, emails show
Shamed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited Jeffrey Epstein and an “enchanting” Russian model to Buckingham Palace, bombshell emails have revealed.
The disgraced former Duke of York exchanged friendly messages with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, mentioning one of Britain’s most iconic buildings could serve as the perfect spot for dinner – noting it’s “privacy.” Emails revealed Epstein said that he would not be alone.
“I am just departing Scotland should be down by 1800 (6pm),” Andrew said in the September 27, 2010, email to Epstein. “I’ll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring. Alternatively, we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.”

Andrew has strongly and consistently denied any wrongdoing regarding his friendship with Epstein.
Epstein responded: “Already in London, what time would you like me and [redacted]? We will also need/ have private time.” The billionaire’s guest was described as “enchanting” and a “great friend,” reports The Sun.
In a March 4, 2010, email including Epstein, the woman said she was from Russia and had been living in London for the previous two years. She added: “I have been modelling for the past 6 years and have lived in Paris, New York, Barcelona and Japan.”
Epstein went on to message now-under fire Peter Mandelson the following day, describing the woman as “beautiful.” An email sent on March 7 from an unknown sender praised the woman.
“A rare combination of charm and elegance,” the person wrote. “She enchanted all those she met. Thank you so much for the introduction.”
Epstein later described the woman as his “future ex wife.” In a June 15, 2010, response, Andrew said: “No response from your future ex. I emailed her this morning but I suspect it went into her junk email folder.”
The emails reveal this happened two months before Andrew jetted off to New York where he previously claimed to have ended his friendship with Epstein – a claim that was challenged after emails revealed the pair had messaged one another following their Big Apple meeting.
The latest Epstein Files dump also hints Andrew’s friendship break-up with included a star-studded bash. Guests included director Woody Allen, his wife Soon-Yi, broadcasters Katie Couric and Goerge Stephanopoulos, talk show host Charlie Rose and Chelsea Handler. Andrew would describe the meeting as a “small dinner party.”
