Second Woman Alleges Epstein Arranged UK Encounter with Prince Andrew

A woman has alleged that Jeffrey Epstein arranged for her to travel to the UK in 2010 to engage in a sexual encounter with Prince Andrew at his residence, Royal Lodge.

According to her U.S. attorney, Brad Edwards, the woman, who was in her twenties at the time and is not British, claims she spent the night at Royal Lodge and was subsequently given a tour of Buckingham Palace.

"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," Edwards told the BBC.

This marks the first time an Epstein accuser has alleged a sexual encounter at a royal residence.

The BBC reported that it had received no response from Prince Andrew regarding the claim. While Buckingham Palace routinely records the names of tour guests, it has not been possible to corroborate the woman's visit without revealing her identity.

Edwards, who represents more than 200 Epstein survivors worldwide, including Virginia Giuffre, stated that there were communications between his client and Prince Andrew prior to the alleged encounter. He mentioned that he had been in contact with certain legal counsel of the former prince in the U.S., but noted that Prince Andrew had "seemingly been disconnected from his lawyers."

Following the publication of Giuffre's posthumous memoir, King Charles formally removed Prince Andrew's "style, title and honours" in October. Edwards indicated that he is now considering filing a civil lawsuit on the woman's behalf against Prince Andrew.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied Giuffre's claims and any wrongdoing related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.
