Former prince Andrew invited Jeffrey Epstein and 'cute' Romanian to palace

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited Jeffrey Epstein and a “very cute” Romanian woman to dinner at Buckingham Palace, emails show.

She was invited at Epstein’s request in September 2010, when he was in London and wanted her to join him at the palace for a private meeting.

Documents released as part of the Epstein files suggest she was among a group of people who accompanied the sex-offender financier.

Epstein later told the woman the prince thought she was “beautiful”.

“And you were not going to go because of you didn’t like your jeans, you were perfect and andrew thought beautiful. no man looks at your clothes, they see through them, what should we do next,” Epstein wrote.

Epstein had previously got in touch with Mountbatten-Windsor to fix a time to meet for dinner.

According to the documents, the then prince responded with an invitation to Buckingham palace for a private dinner.

“Great! Where do you want to go - private at BP (Buckingham Palace) or out in a private room or in a restaurant?,” he wrote.

The next day, Mountbatten-Windsor wrote to Epstein saying he was leaving Scotland and would be in London that evening saying “I’ll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring”.

“Alternatively we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.”

He signs off the email with the letter “A”.

Epstein replied “bp pleease (cor)“ and later added: “I want private time with you, however, i am here with (redacted names) should i bring them all. so as to add some life.”

Mountbatten-Windsor answered: “Yes. Plenty of space here for chat! Bring them.”

Epstein later wrote back saying “add one more (redacted name) romanian very cute”.

There are no further details about their plans, about the people who were invited or how the evening unfolded.

The next day Epstein wrote to Mountbatten-Windsor telling him “great fun, more later”.

Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York, in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.

Mountbatten-Windsor has faced allegations, which he strenuously denies, that he sexually assaulted a teenage Virginia Giuffre after she was trafficked by Epstein.

He paid millions to Giuffre, a woman he has claimed never to have met, to settle a civil sexual assault claim in 2022.

Mountbatten-Windsor stepped down from royal duties in 2019 after the interview on BBC Newsnight, but the publication of Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, and the US government’s release of documents from Epstein’s estate, brought more scrutiny over his relationship with the financier.

It led to the King officially stripping his disgraced brother of both his HRH style and his prince title.
