Newly released emails from the Epstein Files show that Jeffrey Epstein arranged 'after school' visits from female guests while Prince Andrew was staying at his New York mansion. One email dated December 1, 2010, stated: 'Confirmed that she would come after school.' Another, sent two days later, read: 'Will come after school.' The ages of the senders remain unclear.
The messages were exchanged during Andrew's infamous visit to New York in December 2010. There is no evidence that Andrew met any of the individuals referenced in the emails. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing regarding his friendship with Epstein.
On December 3, 2010, the same day Epstein arranged the second 'after school visit,' entertainment publicist Peggy Siegal organised a 'very last minute' dinner for Andrew. Guests included film director Woody Allen, his wife Soon-Yi, broadcasters Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos, comedian Chelsea Handler, and talk show host Charlie Rose. Siegal later described the evening as 'sensational.'
Epstein was reportedly unhappy that details of the dinner appeared in the press, saying: 'Not good for Andrew, not good for me.' The emails highlight Epstein's continued connections with influential figures despite his 2008 conviction for child sex offences.
Andrew previously told BBC journalist Emily Maitlis in 2019 that he stayed at Epstein's mansion to 'break up their friendship.' However, it later emerged that he had contacted Epstein after December 2010, leading King Charles III to strip him of his royal titles. The latest Epstein Files release has raised further questions about Andrew's association with the convicted paedophile.
