Emails released by the U.S. Justice Department overnight reveal that an “A” believed to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor wrote to Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell asking: “Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?”.
The email detailed the person’s time at the royal family’s “Balmoral Summer Camp” before asking Maxwell, who is now a convicted sex trafficker, about finding “new inappropriate friends”.
“I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family,” the August 16, 2001, email to Maxwell says, referring to the British Royals summer castle in Scotland. “Activities take place all day and I am totally exhausted at the end of each day. The Girls are completely shattered and I will have to give them an early night today as it is getting tiring splitting them up all the time!”
“How’s LA?” the message continues. “Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people before having to put my nose firmly to the grindstone for the Fall. Any ideas gratefully received!”
The email was amongst a further tranche of material linked to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein published by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) . Epstein was arrested in 2019 on charges of sex trafficking and apparently committed suicide in his jail cell weeks later. In 2022, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes including conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and sex trafficking of a minor.
The New York Post notes that while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor does not formally identify himself in the messages “there are obvious clues that he is the sender. For example, the phrase “I have left the RN” appears to refer to his departure from active service in the Royal Navy — which took effect July 31, 2001.”
Andrew is named in an email from Maxwell which she in turn forwards to ‘A’, which says he is interested in “2-legged sight seeing”.
Andrew was stripped of all his royal titles earlier this year by his elder brother, King Charles III, and this week he voluntarily surrendered his gun license after police visited him at his Windsor residence.
Another document shows that U.S. President Donald Trump listed as a passenger on eight flights on Epstein’s private jet – more than previously expected.
The email was sent on 7 January 2020 and states: “He is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Maxwell was also present. He is listed as having traveled with, among others and at various times, Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric.”
“On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old” – with the person’s name redacted.
It goes on: “On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case.”
