Overview
- Buckingham Palace said the former Duke of York will be known publicly as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, framing the sanctions as necessary given his Epstein ties while noting he denies the allegations.
- Unsealed court records from a 2023 case show an April 15, 2010 email in which Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein it would be “good to catch up in person,” months after Epstein left jail.
- A formal notice has been served to surrender Andrew’s Royal Lodge lease, with reports that he will relocate to private accommodation on the Sandringham estate and receive a privately funded relocation payment.
- The Metropolitan Police confirmed they are reviewing reports that Andrew asked a protection officer in 2011 to seek information about Virginia Giuffre.
- U.S. Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie pressed for release of Justice Department Epstein files via a discharge petition, as new polling showed broad public support for the King’s actions and MPs floated removing Andrew from the line of succession.
