Second Woman Alleges Epstein Arranged UK Encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

A second woman has alleged that Jeffrey Epstein arranged for her to travel to the UK in 2010 to meet with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at his residence, Royal Lodge. The woman, who was in her twenties at the time and is not British, claims she spent the night with Andrew and was subsequently given a tour of Buckingham Palace. Her lawyer, Brad Edwards, stated, "We're talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein over to Prince Andrew. And she even had, after a night with Prince Andrew, a tour of Buckingham Palace."

This account marks the first time an Epstein survivor has alleged a sexual encounter occurred at a royal residence. Edwards, who represents over 200 Epstein survivors, including Virginia Giuffre, noted that communications between his client and Andrew took place prior to the alleged encounter. He also mentioned that he had been in contact with Andrew's legal counsel in the United States but that communications ceased after King Charles formally removed Andrew's titles and honours.

In October 2025, King Charles initiated a formal process to strip Andrew of his royal titles, including the style of 'His Royal Highness' and the title of 'Prince'. Buckingham Palace announced that Andrew would now be known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and would vacate Royal Lodge, his residence of over 20 years. The Palace stated, "These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him."

The Palace also expressed sympathy for abuse survivors, stating, "Their majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

A BBC investigation revealed that Epstein had trafficked multiple women into the UK using both commercial flights and his private jets.

Andrew has consistently denied all allegations against him.
