Us Weekly Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment. Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. (Epstein died by suspected suicide at age 66 in August 2019 after being arrested on federal sex-trafficking charges.)
BBC News reported that separate emails between Epstein and a contact called “The Duke,” believed to be Mountbatten-Windsor, were also released on Friday. (Mbatten-Windsor’s title was “The Duke of York” before he was stripped of his royal honors at the end of 2025.)

“Will he be carrying a message from you? Please give him my contact details to get in touch?” asked “The Duke.”
When “The Duke” he asked for “any other information you may know about her that might be useful to know,” Epstein replied that “she (is) 26, Russian, intelligent (sic) beautiful, trustworthy, and yes she has your email.”

In other emails exchanged in September 2010, Epstein asked “The Duke” if they could arrange “private time” while he was in London.
“I just left Scotland should be down at 1800,” his contact he answered. “I’ll call you when I get down if you can give me a number to call. Or we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy. A”

“Not himself, so to speak, as near as you might think, we were not so near,” continued the former prince. “So, I mean, yeah, I was going to stay at his house, but that was because of his girlfriend (Ghislaine Maxwellwho was jailed in 2022 for sex trafficking offences), through no fault of his own.”
