Unsealed Email Shows Andrew Sought 2010 'Catch‑Up' With Epstein as Palace Starts Process to Remove Titles

The court disclosure intensifies scrutiny of his post‑prison contacts with Epstein.

Overview

  • An April 15, 2010 email shows Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein he might 'drop by' New York and that it would be 'good to catch up in person.'
  • The correspondence was released from unsealed filings in the 2023 USVI v JP Morgan case, which the bank settled for $75 million.
  • Epstein forwarded Andrew’s email to Jes Staley, who was later banned by the UK Financial Conduct Authority in 2023 for misleading it about his Epstein ties.
  • Andrew was photographed with Epstein in New York in December 2010 and later said the visit was to end their friendship, a timeline complicated by the newly reported email.
  • Buckingham Palace has begun formal steps to remove his style, titles and honours, and he has agreed to leave Royal Lodge for a private Sandringham residence; he denies allegations by Virginia Giuffre.
