Leaked 2015 Emails Suggest Prince Andrew Remained in Contact With Epstein, Contradicting 2019 Claim

The Sunday Times reports independently checked 2015 Barak–Epstein emails from a DDoS leak that attribute China business tips to “Andrew,” calling his stated cutoff in 2010 into question.

Overview

  • In a December 2015 exchange, Jeffrey Epstein told former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak that a lead on a Beijing personal-protection venture came from “andrew,” which he confirmed meant the prince.
  • The Sunday Times obtained the Barak inbox from Distributed Denial of Secrets, which sourced the files from the Handala hacking collective, and says it verified dozens of details though tampering cannot be definitively ruled out.
  • The emails challenge Prince Andrew’s 2019 BBC Newsnight assertion that he neither saw nor spoke to Epstein after a December 2010 visit to New York.
  • Separate court disclosures cited by UK regulators include a February 2011 email to Epstein from a royal understood to be Andrew that read, “Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!,” alongside a discussion of press articles.
  • Andrew has consistently denied Virginia Giuffre’s allegations and settled her civil case in 2022 without admitting liability, while newly released DOJ interview transcripts show Ghislaine Maxwell casting Sarah Ferguson as the link; Andrew’s office did not comment and Barak declined to discuss the emails.
