Recent emails from the so-called "Epstein files" reveal details of a private dinner involving convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace in 2010.
According to the "Mail on Sunday," Epstein organized a private dinner attended by Prince Andrew and four women, including a Romanian model in her early twenties and another woman from Russia.
Correspondence Describes Guests and Invitation Background
The correspondence indicated that Epstein described the Romanian model as "very nice" and later informed her that Prince Andrew found her "beautiful" and "ideal."
Reports suggest that Epstein requested the addition of another guest shortly before the dinner, which Prince Andrew reportedly accepted without objections.
Details of the Meeting at the Royal Palace
It is reported that the model met Epstein at Ghislaine Maxwell's home in London before being taken to Buckingham Palace for the dinner.
Epstein allegedly sent a message to Prince Andrew the following morning, mentioning that the meeting was pleasant, with the prince's response described as enthusiastic.
Uncertainty Regarding the Model's Involvement in Epstein Cases
The identity of the Romanian model remains unknown, and it is unclear whether she is among the victims of Epstein's sexual offenses. She has not commented, and the newspaper has declined to disclose her name.
Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on the revelations, and there has been no official response from Prince Andrew.
Calls for Reopening Investigations
These revelations have prompted renewed calls for the London police to reopen investigations into Prince Andrew's connections with Epstein, particularly concerning potential legal violations at royal residences.
Royal affairs author Andrew Lownie stated that visitor logs at the palace should be reviewed, and all relevant information should be provided to the appropriate authorities.
Political Implications of the Case
These developments come as the repercussions of Epstein's associations with prominent political and business figures continue to be felt. Documents from the U.S. Department of Justice have indicated that Prince Andrew had previously assured Epstein of a high level of privacy, despite his prior conviction.
In this context, British police are still examining new allegations related to the facilitation of women into the UK to meet Prince Andrew at his former residence.
