Revealed Emails: Prince Andrew's Distress Over Epstein Allegations

Thu Nov 13 2025 13:02:51 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)

Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein's estate expose Prince Andrew's urgent pleas in response to damaging media reports implicating him in controversy.

In recently released emails, Prince Andrew expresses distress over negative media reports related to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein. In a message to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, he declared, 'I can't take any more of this.' The correspondence has surfaced as part of ongoing investigations into Epstein, who died while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. Andrew's emails indicate his frustration with allegations, including interactions with prominent figures like Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual misconduct as a teenager. The emails also mention former President Donald Trump, highlighting Epstein’s connections within powerful circles.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor told Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell 'I can't take any more of this' when he was alerted about a British newspaper's impending report regarding their association 14 years ago.

The email exchange was part of a trove of documents from Epstein's estate released recently, which included mentions of Donald Trump. Andrew's response came after a 'right-of-reply' email sent by the Mail on Sunday to Maxwell in March 2011 listed several claims against him.

In the emails released, Andrew expressed frustration: 'What's all this? I don't know anything about this! You must SAY so please. This has NOTHING to do with me. I can't take any more of this.'

This disclosure follows multiple calls from US Congressional Democrats requesting Andrew to answer questions as part of their investigations into Epstein, who died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking offenses.

Congressman Suhas Subramanyam confirmed to BBC Two's Newsnight that Andrew had yet to respond to the Committee's invitation to testify.

Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser of Epstein, alleged that Andrew had sex with her three times as a teenager. He settled out of court with Giuffre in 2022, denying any liability or wrongdoing.

The recent release of emails sheds more light on the dynamics between Andrew and Epstein, with one correspondence implying the authenticity of a photograph featuring Andrew with a teenage Giuffre. Epstein, in a July 2011 exchange with a news outlet, confirmed her presence on his private plane and that she had been photographed with Andrew.

Also included in the documents were mentions of Trump, with emails suggesting relationships between the ex-president and Epstein, raising further questions as the House of Representatives prepares for a vote on releasing additional Epstein-related files.
