Recently unsealed documents have reignited controversy around Britain’s Prince Andrew, alleging that he continued his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein even after Epstein’s release from prison.
According to the files, Prince Andrew is said to have invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace following Epstein’s 2008 conviction in the United States for soliciting a minor. The documents, which have emerged as part of broader disclosures linked to Epstein’s network, suggest that the relationship between the two men persisted longer than previously acknowledged publicly.
The allegations have renewed scrutiny of Prince Andrew’s past statements, in which he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and sought to distance himself from Epstein after the financier’s conviction became widely known. Buckingham Palace has not confirmed the claims made in the files, and no official comment has been issued in response to the latest revelations.
Epstein, who maintained links with powerful figures across politics, business, and royalty, died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His death, ruled a suicide, did little to quell public interest in the extent of his connections and the nature of his relationships.
The newly revealed files do not allege criminal conduct by Prince Andrew but are likely to intensify public debate and media attention surrounding his association with Epstein. The disclosures come amid ongoing efforts by courts and investigators to bring greater transparency to the Epstein case and those connected to it.
As more documents continue to surface, legal experts say further revelations could follow, potentially prompting renewed calls for accountability and clearer explanations from institutions and individuals named in the records.
