Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III, found another mention in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files.
This time, according to released documents, Andrew appeared to have invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace shortly after the late sex offender was released from house arrest.
The apparent invitation to the royal residence in central London appears in one of millions of new pages released by the US Department of Justice.

Epstein allegedly suggested Andrew introduce a Russian woman.
According to one report, Epstein contacted Andrew on 27 September 2010 while in London and wrote: “What time would you like me… we will also need (me)… to have some private time.”
Andrew replied that he was just leaving Scotland, adding: “We could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.”
Andrew then appears to have said that he could not join Epstein for lunch due to a commitment to a “Saudi prince” but that he would be free later that day.
Two days later, Andrew sent the email again. “Delighted to have you here at BP (Buckingham Palace). Come with anyone and I’ll be here for free from 4pm to 2000,” he wrote.
Epstein replied, “I’ll see you at 4.”

It was not clear whether any dinner at the palace – then the official London residence of the late Queen Elizabeth II. – she acted.
However, according to a report by The TIMES, among the files were images showing Andrew on his knees, looking into the camera and positioned over a woman lying on the floor. In one image, Andrew appears to be touching a woman’s stomach.
Andrew, who has always denied any wrongdoing, was stripped of all royal titles by the king last year because of his links to Epstein.
Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor connection
Epstein was paroled from house arrest in August 2010 after being convicted of procuring prostitution for a girl under the age of 18.
More documents released last year and a posthumous memoir by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual assault, have reignited British anger over his links to Epstein.

It culminated in the king deciding to strip his brother of all royal titles and honors and announcing that he would be evicted from his 30-room mansion at the royal estate of Windsor, west of London.
Andrew, now known by the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, has always denied sexually abusing Giuffre, who claimed she was trafficked three times for sex with him, twice when she was just 17.
After she sued him, he paid her a multimillion-dollar settlement in 2022 without admitting guilt.
Giuffre, an American and Australian citizen, died in April by suicide at her home in Australia.
Epstein died by suicide in prison in 2019.
