New emails allegedly from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and said to be sent to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein see the disgraced former prince seemingly dismiss Epstein’s sex charges.
They were said to be sent just six months after he was freed from jail.
Epstein had been jailed for 13 months for two counts of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008.
More emails reportedly between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein ‘exposed’
The former Duke of York allegedly told Jeffrey Epstein that he wished for a “clean resolution” for the disgraced financier.
This remark was reportedly sent whilst Epstein was under house arrest in January of 2010.
Andrew is said to have penned, as per reports: “Congratulations on getting your travel ban lifted and also understand new information now available on the whole issue and hope you get a clean resolution.”
Epstein’s deal meant he avoided decades in prison, escaping federal charges, despite having been found to have paid underage girls to give him sexual massages. One victim was only 14-years-old.
A month before his death by hanging in 2019, Epstein was federally charged with sex trafficking.
Reports claim that hundreds of emails between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein see the former prince and UK trade envoy pledge to “pay homage to your new life ahead”.
These emails were said to be sent after Epstein’s year of house arrest ended in July of 2010.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ‘callous’ behaviour ‘revealed’ as Epstein Files drama continues
Experts have since described Andrew’s actions as “callous”.
Former head of royal protection Dai Davies stating to The Sun: “This is incredibly dismissive of victims. It’s a total slap in the face.
“The plea deal Epstein got was a wicked deal, because it should have been about 100 counts, not two, and Andrew’s characterisation of it shows a total lack of any moral compass.”
In his infamous Newsnight interview, Andrew claimed in December of 2010, when he was snapped walking through NYC with Epstein, that he was simply there to sever ties with the billionaire financier, due to his crimes.
Consequently, Andrew has been widely criticised for staying with the convicted sex offender at that time. The former prince described his own actions as “unbecoming”.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest
The latest tranche of Epstein files renewed scrutiny upon Andrew’s relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Following the release of files, Andrew was accused of sharing sensitive and confidential documents with Epstein.
He was said to have done this during his time as a UK trade envoy.
Being pictured or named in the Epstein files does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing. Andrew has continuously and vehemently denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct on February 19, his 66th birthday and eventually released eleven hours later, under investigation.
The investigation into the former prince
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police issued a statement following Andrew’s release from custody, detailing: “Thames Valley Police is able to provide an update in relation to an investigation into the offence of misconduct in public office.
“On Thursday we arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
“The arrested man has now been released under investigation. We can also confirm that our searches in Norfolk have now concluded.”
Andrew’s former home, Royal Lodge at Windsor and his temporary accommodation of Wood Farm at Sandringham were searched following his arrest.
The search of Wood Farm concluded upon Andrew’s release from custody. Elsewhere, investigators continued to poke around Royal Lodge. They did so for six days.
Representatives for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Buckingham Palace have been contacted for comment.
