News Topical, Digital Desk : A new controversy has erupted over the relationship between Prince Andrew, a member of the British royal family, and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. New documents released by the US Justice Department reveal that Andrew invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace in 2010, shortly after his release from house arrest.
The emails revealed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III, offered Epstein "private and private time" at the palace.
Buckingham Palace invitation revealed
The US Justice Department on Friday declassified millions of pages of new documents revealing an alleged invitation to Buckingham Palace, the royal residence in central London, shortly after Epstein was released from house arrest.
According to one message, Epstein contacted Andrew during his stay in London on September 27, 2010, and wrote, "What time would you like me... We'll need some private time as well."
Andrew replied that he was leaving Scotland now and added, "We can have dinner at Buckingham Palace and enjoy a lot of privacy."
Just two days later, Andrew emailed again. He wrote, "It's a great pleasure to have you at Buckingham Palace. Whoever you come with, I'll be here free of charge from 4pm to 8pm."
Official residence of Elizabeth II
The royal residence in London where Epstein was invited was the official London residence of the late Queen Elizabeth II at the time. However, it is unclear from the documents whether any dinner was ever held at the palace.
