Overview
- An April 15, 2010 email shows Andrew telling Jeffrey Epstein it would be "good to catch up in person" and saying he might "drop by" New York later that year.
- The message was released Friday in unsealed filings from the US Virgin Islands’ 2023 case against JP Morgan over its dealings with Epstein, a lawsuit the bank settled.
- Court records show Epstein forwarded Andrew’s note to Jes Staley, who was barred from senior financial roles by the UK Financial Conduct Authority in 2023 for misleading it about their relationship.
- Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King has initiated the removal of Andrew’s style, titles and honours, that he will be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and that he will leave Royal Lodge for private accommodation on the Sandringham estate.
- The email complicates Andrew’s 2019 Newsnight explanation that a December 2010 New York meeting was to end the friendship, and he continues to deny longstanding allegations including those made by Virginia Giuffre.
