Epstein's 'After School' Visit Emails During Prince Andrew's New York Stay
Disturbing emails from the latest release of the Epstein Files have revealed that convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein arranged for female guests to visit his plush New York mansion during Prince Andrew's stay in December 2010. The messages, which reference "after school" visits, have intensified scrutiny of the Duke of York's controversial friendship with Epstein.
Creepy Email Exchanges Surface
One email to Epstein, dated December 1, 2010, stated: "Confirmed that she would come after school." Another message sent two days later read: "Will come after school." It remains unclear who sent these emails or the ages of the individuals involved at the time. These communications occurred while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was staying at Epstein's New York home, a visit the former prince later claimed was intended to end their friendship "honourably."
There is no evidence that Prince Andrew met any of the people Epstein messaged about these visits. Andrew has consistently and strongly denied any wrongdoing regarding his association with Epstein. However, the timing of these emails—one was shared the day after Andrew attended a star-studded dinner with Epstein—has raised further questions about the nature of their relationship.
Andrew's Controversial Visit and Aftermath
In a 2019 interview with BBC journalist Emily Maitlis, Andrew stated he visited Epstein to break up their friendship. He explained, "Look, because of what has happened, I don't think it is appropriate that we should remain in contact." However, it later emerged that Andrew had messaged Epstein after December 2010, leading King Charles III to strip his brother of all royal titles.
The visit included a dinner arranged by entertainment publicist Peggy Siegal on the same day Epstein scheduled the second "after school" visit. 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," but emails show Epstein was unhappy when a journalist appeared to have been briefed, noting it was "not good for Andrew, not good for me."
Scrutiny and Embarrassment Mount
Andrew's meeting with Epstein during his week in New York came under greater scrutiny after a photo of the pair strolling through Central Park became widely shared. The latest Epstein Files release has heaped further embarrassment on the former prince, with emails appearing to confirm a photo of Andrew with the late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was real. Another photo showed Andrew propping himself up over a young female lying face up on the floor.
These details highlight how Epstein maintained links to influential figures in entertainment despite his 2008 conviction for child sex offences. The ongoing revelations continue to challenge Andrew's assertions about his friendship with Epstein, keeping the scandal in the public eye and affecting perceptions of the Royal Family.
