'Shocking' 100 new Epstein emails 'that may destroy' Prince Andrew 'discovered'
Well-placed sources claim the messages, said to have been exchanged between the Duke of York and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, are buried in hundreds of thousands of documents currently being reviewed by the US Congress
Prince Andrew could be "destroyed" by more than 100 emails said to be in the Epstein Files, 'well-placed sources' claim.
The messages, alleged to have been exchanged between the Duke of York and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, are buried in hundreds of thousands of documents currently being reviewed by the US Congress ahead of public release, the Mail on Sunday reports. One insider said: "If you think what’s happened to Peter Mandelson is bad then you have no idea what will happen when the Andrew emails are released. They are embarrassing and incriminating and he could be destroyed."
Lord Mandelson stepped down as UK ambassador to Washington last week after a string of damaging emails with Epstein emerged. One showed "Petie" urging Epstein to fight back against a conviction for soliciting a child for prostitution.
David Boies, who represented Andrew's accuser Virginia Giuffre, said on Piers Morgan Uncensored that he believes there is enough evidence to warrant an investigation into the prince. Andrew has consistently denied Giuffre's claims that Epstein trafficked her to him. In 2022, he reportedly settled a civil case with her for £12 million - with no admission of guilt - before her tragic death by suicide earlier this year.
Several alleged Andrew-Epstein emails have already surfaced. In February 2011, he reportedly wrote: "Keep in close touch and we'll play some more soon!!" The correspondence was revealed in legal documents from a case against Epstein's banker Jes Staley, and described as being sent "by a member of the British Royal Family," widely reported as Andrew.
When Giuffre first came forward, Andrew emailed close associate Ghislaine Maxwell, later jailed for her role in Epstein's trafficking network. On January 3, 2015, the Duke is alleged to have written: "Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts!" Maxwell replied: "Have some info. Call me when you have a moment."
At least 100 emails involving Andrew are claimed to be among the Epstein files. Some are said to be from a Pipex account - one of the UK's first commercial ISPs - listed alongside multiple phone numbers for the duke in Epstein's "little black book." Another source claimed: "There are potentially incriminating emails between Andrew, Epstein and Maxwell which haven’t come out yet.
"Andrew was in regular contact with Maxwell by email and Epstein used email to coordinate trafficking of his victims. If I were Andrew I'd be very worried. Look what the emails did to Mandelson," the source said.
Boies claimed to Piers Morgan on his YouTube show that "there are between ten and 20 men that we have enough information on that should entail a serious prosecutorial investigation." When Morgan asked if Andrew was one of them, Boies said: "Yes." Urging the prince to be forthcoming, he added: "One of the things that has frustrated us is that in both the UK and the United States he was basically given a pass."
Both Andrew and Mandelson may be invited to testify before the House Oversight Committee, which is reviewing hundreds of thousands of Epstein-related documents.
