Newly Released Emails Reveal Prince Andrew’s Continued Contact with Epstein

The newly released emails tell a different story.

In July 2009, while Epstein was still serving a jail sentence for soliciting a minor, Andrew arranged for his goddaughter Celina to visit Buckingham Palace.

Sarah Ferguson, 66, wrote to Epstein on July 6, saying: “Andrew said he could help to give her a good time. Tea in the palace!”

Epstein replied from prison: “Give Andrew a (big) thank you from me, tell him it means a lot to me.”

In February 2010, Epstein received an email apparently from Amanda Thirsk, then Andrew’s private secretary, inviting him to Andrew’s 50th birthday celebration at St. James’ Palace.

Epstein replied he was “not able” to attend. Two months later, Andrew emailed Epstein directly, saying: “I have no immediate plans to drop by New York, but I think I should at some stage soon. It would be good to catch up in person.”

At the time, Epstein was newly released from jail and required to sign the sex offender register.
