Explosive new details have emerged about Prince Andrew's visits to Jeffrey Epstein's properties, with court documents revealing he stayed overnight at least a dozen times. The unsealed records shed fresh light on the Duke of York's controversial association with the convicted sex offender.
The Damning Revelations
According to the newly released paperwork, Prince Andrew slept at Epstein's New York mansion on multiple occasions between 1999 and 2002. These stays occurred even after Epstein's first conviction for sex offences involving minors.
The documents also confirm that Andrew stayed at Epstein's Palm Beach estate and his private Caribbean island - locations where several victims have alleged they were abused by Epstein and his associates.
Royal Connections Under Scrutiny
These revelations come from the defamation case brought by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend and accomplice. Giuffre has previously claimed she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 - allegations the Duke has repeatedly denied.
Buckingham Palace has consistently stated that Prince Andrew has no recollection of ever meeting Giuffre. However, these new details about his extensive stays at Epstein's properties are likely to reignite public scrutiny of his connections to the disgraced financier.
The Photographic Evidence
The court documents reference the now-infamous photograph showing Prince Andrew with his arm around Giuffre's waist at Maxwell's London home in 2001. This image has become central to the controversy surrounding Andrew's relationship with Epstein's circle.
Legal experts suggest these new disclosures could have significant implications for Prince Andrew's ongoing legal battles and public standing. The royal has stepped back from public duties since the scandal first erupted but continues to maintain his innocence regarding all allegations of misconduct.
