Explosive new court documents have revealed the extent of Prince Andrew's knowledge about Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities, painting a damning picture of the royal's involvement with the disgraced financier's inner circle.
The Maxwell Connection
According to testimony from Johanna Sjoberg, a former Epstein accuser, the Duke of York was fully aware of his close friend Ghislaine Maxwell's role in Epstein's operation. Sjoberg stated under oath that Andrew knew Maxwell "was being paid to find girls" for the convicted sex offender.
Inside the Royal Circle
The unsealed files from Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit against Maxwell contain startling revelations about the prince's comfort within Epstein's world. Multiple witnesses describe Andrew as a frequent presence at Epstein's properties, often accompanied by Maxwell, who served as his social conduit to the billionaire's network.
A Pattern of Knowledge
Perhaps most damaging are accounts suggesting Andrew understood the dynamics of Epstein's relationships with young women. Sjoberg's testimony indicates the prince didn't question why Maxwell, a woman from an affluent background, would be on Epstein's payroll unless her duties extended beyond typical social coordination.
The Palace's Mounting Problems
These revelations come as another blow to the royal family, still reeling from Andrew's withdrawal from public duties following his BBC Newsnight interview disaster. The documents provide concrete evidence supporting long-standing allegations about the depth of his involvement with Epstein's circle.
Legal Fallout Continues
While Andrew settled his civil case with Virginia Giuffre out of court in 2022, these new disclosures keep the scandal alive in the public consciousness. They offer fresh insight into what the royal knew about the activities occurring around him during his visits to Epstein's homes.
The documents underscore how thoroughly Andrew had embedded himself within Epstein's world, raising further questions about judgment and associations at the highest levels of British society.
