Andrew responded by asking what Epstein had told her about him and whether she had been given his personal email address.
These messages were sent just weeks after Epstein was released from house arrest and two years after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor.
Although the emails do not directly reference illegal activity, their casual tone drew heavy criticism.
“And this is a surprise, how?” one commenter wrote.
Another claimed, “The royals were obviously fully aware of the contents of the files and cut him dry before more came out,” referencing Andrew’s removal from royal duties, military ranks, and patronages in October 2025.
Fallout Continues for the Disgraced Royal
According to Bored Panda, Andrew was evicted from his 30-room Royal Lodge, owned by the Crown Estate, on January 25. The late Queen Elizabeth II’s younger son is now reportedly preparing to relocate to Bahrain.
His name appears repeatedly throughout the millions of pages released, alongside earlier photographs showing him sprawled across women’s laps and extensive correspondence involving Maxwell.
Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has maintained that he severed ties with Epstein well before the financier’s death in 2019. However, the resurfacing of informal and friendly exchanges involving private meetings and introductions has further damaged those claims in the eyes of critics.
Longstanding Allegations and Lasting Damage
For years, Andrew has also faced allegations from Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sxually assaulting her when she was 17. He denied the accusations but reached a multimillion-pound settlement with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability. She died by sucide in April 2025.
Although authorities have emphasized that the newly released documents do not establish criminal conduct, the publication of these unsettling images and emails has delivered another significant blow to Andrew’s credibility.
