Prince Andrew Listed in FBI's 2025 Epstein Investigation Document
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Duke of York, has been revealed as one of eleven 'prominent names' included in a 2025 FBI shortlist concerning sexual abuse allegations during the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The disclosure emerged today from documents related to the Epstein case, showing the royal was named in a PowerPoint presentation prepared by agents from the Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
Allegations Detailed in FBI Document
The 21-page document outlines three specific allegations against Prince Andrew, though it does not indicate whether federal agents had verified any of these claims. According to the Justice Department files, the allegations include:
- An unnamed woman, whose identity is redacted, claimed she was instructed 'to make Prince Andrew happy' by performing the same acts she did for Epstein, allegedly at the behest of Ghislaine Maxwell.
- One witness alleged that 'Andrew and Epstein flew on Epstein's plane and had orgies' aboard the so-called Lolita Express private jet.
- Steve Scully, a contractor who worked on Epstein's private Caribbean island Little St. James for years, reportedly witnessed Prince Andrew 'grinding against a young girl' during what was described as dirty dancing on the island.
The document's following page addresses allegations of group sex involving Epstein more generally, stating: 'Based on review of evidence and victim statements, no orgies or threesomes took place which involved 2 males.' It also noted that Epstein 'did not regularly prostitute the victims in exchange for money.'
Other High-Profile Figures Named
Prince Andrew appears alongside several other notable individuals in the FBI's 'prominent names' document. The list includes:
- Donald Trump, with allegations that Epstein introduced a woman to him who subsequently bit him after being forced into a sexual act
- Harvey Weinstein, accused of forcing himself on women linked to Epstein during massages
- Bill Clinton, with claims from a woman who said she was invited to an orgy with him but did not attend
- Former Barclays chief executive Jes Staley, accused of having 'rough sex' with a woman
- Victoria's Secret founder Les Wexner, billionaire trader Glenn Dubin, attorney Alan Dershowitz, financier Leon Black, and former attorney general William Barr
All the men named have forcefully denied any wrongdoing and having knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities. Many have played down their associations with Epstein, if they acknowledged knowing him at all. The FBI presentation does not suggest any of these individuals were considered suspects in their investigation.
Royal Fallout and Removal from Royal Lodge
The revelation comes amid significant developments in Prince Andrew's royal status. Just hours after being photographed smiling and waving to the public while riding his horse near Windsor on Saturday and driving on the Windsor estate on Monday, the 65-year-old was moved out of his 30-bedroom Royal Lodge mansion under the cover of darkness.
Royal insiders described Andrew's public appearances as 'bizarre' and noted that 'even to the end, he just didn't get it.' One source commented on the optics: 'You just want to whack your head on the desk. Appalling optics.'
It is understood that Andrew required 'encouragement' to speed up his departure following the publication of a photograph showing him on all fours, looming over a woman on the floor in the latest release of Epstein files. The former Duke was driven 132 miles to Sandringham and will temporarily stay at Wood Farm Cottage before moving permanently to Marsh Farm by early April, pending completion of renovations.
Context and Implications
The FBI document demonstrates that federal investigators were aware of serious allegations concerning these prominent figures during their Epstein investigation. While the presentation includes detailed claims from witnesses and alleged victims, it makes no determination about their veracity and does not indicate any criminal charges were being considered against those named.
The timing of these revelations coincides with King Charles's decision to remove Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge, marking another chapter in the royal family's ongoing efforts to distance themselves from the disgraced Duke following his association with Jeffrey Epstein and the resulting scandal that has plagued the monarchy for years.
