The latest batch of documents reportedly includes images appearing to show Andrew crouched beside an unidentified woman in what is said to be Epstein’s New York mansion.
In 2022, Andrew paid millions of pounds to Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual abuse, while maintaining he had never met her. Following the posthumous publication of Ms Giuffre’s book — in which she alleges she was trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the age of 17 — the King formally removed Andrew’s titles.
A Move to Norfolk
Earlier this month, Andrew moved out of Royal Lodge in Windsor to a property on the King’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The Sun reported he is temporarily staying at Wood Farm Cottage while his new home, Marsh Farm, is being prepared. He is expected to move there permanently by early April.
Although Andrew still holds the lease on Royal Lodge until October and may be seen there occasionally as the move is completed, the relocation was reportedly planned before the latest revelations and is not believed to be directly connected to them.
Remembering the Victims
The Duke of Edinburgh was the first royal to comment publicly after the latest document release. Asked how he was “coping”, he replied that it was important to “remember the victims”.
Epstein, the financier at the centre of the scandal, was found dead in his prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of running a global child sex abuse network. His former partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting victims.
As further details continue to emerge, senior members of the Royal Family have sought to emphasise one consistent message: their support lies firmly with those who suffered abuse.
