Great Britain Epstein files: Insight into email correspondence with Andrew?
The recently published files in the abuse scandal surrounding the deceased US multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein appear to provide an insight into his correspondence with the former British Prince Andrew (65). Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson (66) is also likely to appear in the files.

It appears from an email that Epstein arranged a dinner for Andrew with a 26-year-old Russian woman in London in 2010 - shortly after the US-American had served his sentence for prostitution of minors. The reply, signed with Andrew's signature "HRH The Duke of York KG" and the letter "A", reads: "(...) I would be delighted to see her". Further emails show that Epstein was planning a celebrity dinner for Andrew.
Andrew claims to have been unaware of the machinations
Epstein was considered to have excellent connections and moved in the highest circles. At the same time, he ran an abuse ring for years, to which dozens of girls and young women fell victim. Andrew always claimed that he was unaware of his friend's activities. One of Epstein's victims made concrete accusations against the younger brother of King Charles III (77).
The US-American Virginia Giuffre, who has since died, accused Andrew of having sexually abused her several times, including as a minor in London in 2001. According to the accusation, she was brought to the UK with Epstein in tow and forced to have sex with Andrew. A now infamous photo allegedly shows the two of them in the London home of Epstein's aide Ghislaine Maxwell, where the abuse is said to have taken place.
Andrew denied everything, but a civil lawsuit in the USA ended in a settlement allegedly worth millions.
Is Andrew the "Invisible Man"?
Over the course of time, Andrew lost his role as an official representative of the royal family as well as all honors, military ranks and titles as a result of the allegations. Most recently, King Charles also stripped him of the title "Prince", which he had acquired by birth. He is now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. He also has to move out of the luxurious Royal Lodge estate on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
It is sometimes difficult to identify the partly redacted files. Further emails suggest that a mysterious contact of Epstein's confidante Maxwell called "The Invisible Man" could be Andrew. For example, a possible stay on Epstein's private island, Little Saint James, is discussed, which the contact signing "A" is unable to attend because of his children.
"Sarah" is also mentioned
Other documents show an email exchange between Epstein and a Sarah from 2009, the content of which suggests that it is Andrew's ex-wife Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson. Epstein is referred to as a "legend" and "brother I've always wanted". In an interview with the "Evening Standard" newspaper in 2011, "Fergie" had already admitted to having accepted 15,000 pounds (currently around 17,000 euros) from Epstein and regretted the connection to the sex offender.
The US Department of Justice published more than three million pages of documents as well as thousands of videos and photos on Friday evening. Merely being named or pictured in the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing. Many of the individuals previously identified had always denied involvement in Epstein's criminal activities.
