UK Police Probe Fresh Epstein Allegations Against Prince Andrew
A new investigation by British police is underway into allegations that Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, provided Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a woman to have sex with at the Royal Lodge in Windsor in 2010. The claim was made by a woman who spent the night at the prince's residence and claims she received a tour of Buckingham Palace afterwards.
The alleged encounter took place during a tumultuous period for Prince Andrew, who had recently moved out of his home at the Royal Lodge due to renovations. He is currently living in a temporary property on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk while his permanent home undergoes work. The prince has always denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
The allegations were made public after documents related to Epstein's case were released by the US Department of Justice, revealing new claims about Prince Andrew's involvement with Epstein. One such document features a photograph of the prince kneeling over an unidentified woman on the floor, sparking further scrutiny of his alleged links to Epstein.
Police from Thames Valley are reviewing the allegations, which have not been reported to them previously. The investigation does not necessarily mean a criminal inquiry will be launched. Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
In response to mounting pressure on Prince Andrew to testify before US Congress, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he should "be prepared" to give evidence about his links with Epstein. The British government's handling of the situation continues to face criticism from anti-monarchy groups and advocates for victims of sex trafficking.
The case highlights the ongoing fallout from Epstein's conviction and the continued pressure on senior royals like Prince Andrew to confront their alleged connections to the convicted offender.
