Freshly released Epstein Files have once again pulled Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor into the spotlight, revealing that he continued communicating with Jeffrey Epstein years after the disgraced financier’s 2008 conviction. Newly unsealed emails show Andrew sent photographs of his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to Epstein in 2011 and 2012, despite previously claiming he had severed all ties.
The revelations appear in a massive batch of more than three million documents made public recently, deepening scrutiny of the former prince’s long-questioned relationship with the convicted sex offender.
The documents include two greeting-card emails sent from Andrew’s official “HRH The Duke of York” email account. The first message, dated December 21, 2011, includes a photograph of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
In the image, Beatrice appears wearing a silver Christmas cracker hat, while Eugenie is seen in a brown scarf and fur hat. The message, signed by Andrew, reads:
“Wishing you much joy and happiness at this time and for the year ahead.”
A second card followed on December 20, 2012, again featuring images of the two princesses. At the time, Eugenie was around 21–22 years old, while Beatrice was 23–24.
These emails contradict Andrew’s earlier public claims that he had cut off all contact with Epstein years before.
Speculation has also returned around Andrew’s personal life. His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, appears in other Epstein-related correspondence and images. While their divorce predates many revelations, renewed attention has focused on whether Andrew’s associations contributed to long-standing strains in their marriage.
Despite their separation, Ferguson has continued to publicly support Andrew, adding complexity to the narrative.
Epstein was convicted in 2008 for procuring a minor for prostitution, and later faced federal sex-trafficking charges before he died in jail in 2019. Andrew’s continued communication with him has already led to severe consequences, including the stripping of his royal titles and the loss of his official duties.
The new disclosures add to growing public outrage over how long powerful figures maintained contact with Epstein despite his criminal record.
One of the most searched questions following the release concerns Queen Elizabeth II’s awareness. While no document directly states her involvement or approval, Andrew’s continued use of his royal email address and status suggests his association with Epstein persisted within royal awareness longer than previously admitted.
The files reignite debate over whether palace officials, and possibly the Queen herself, fully understood the depth of Andrew’s relationship with Epstein.
The documents also revive allegations that Epstein ran a global “honeytrap” operation, possibly linked to Russia and Israel. Emails suggest Epstein arranged for Andrew to meet a “beautiful, smart, and trustworthy” 26-year-old Russian woman.
New images reportedly show Andrew crouching on all fours over a girl, further intensifying scrutiny of his conduct and judgment.
