Uncovered emails and photos reveal how child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein built a web of connections to the UK including a friendship with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The evidence shows how the convicted paedophile enjoyed invitations to royal residences, landed his private jet in airports across England and trafficked women to properties in the capital.
Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in February after emails contained in the Epstein files appeared to show him sharing confidential documents with the financier during his time as UK trade envoy.
Police are widening the scope of their investigation into the former Duke of York to include allegations of sexual misconduct. Officers are assessing a claim that Epstein sent a woman to the UK to have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor at Royal Lodge, his former home in Windsor.
The former prince was interviewed under caution following his arrest on 19 February before being released under investigation.
He has always strenuously denied any allegations made against him.
‘Lolita Express’ to secret London homes
Epstein’s friendship with Mountbatten-Windsor allowed him access to the heart of the Royal Family and saw him invited to Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday at Windsor Castle, being photographed holidaying at the royal residence in Balmoral and popping into Buckingham Palace for dinner with the former prince.
Photos show he also attended Royal Ascot as a guest of the then-Prince Andrew, with the late Queen watching the races there the same day.

They appear to reveal how he managed to build up a portfolio of properties in London and regularly fly private jets into the city to carry out his abuse on British soil.
His private jets, collectively dubbed the “Lolita Express”, have been tracked to Stansted, Luton and Birmingham airports, as well as mentions of RAF Northolt and RAF Marham in the Epstein Files.
Epstein appears to have used some of these flights to bring victims to his luxury homes in London, with six women he housed in the apartments since coming forward to say they were being abused.
Receipts, emails and bank records contained within the Epstein files uncovered by the BBC built up a picture of how the billionaire would fly women into the capital before moving them into four flats situated within the borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in west London.
At times, the flats were overcrowded with women, some of whom had to sleep on sofas as there were not enough beds to accommodate them, the victims said. When they raised complaints about the living conditions, Epstein would respond angrily.

There are around 90 private flights linked to the paedophile financier believed to have arrived at or departed from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018, including 15 following his conviction for child sex offences in 2008.
Essex Police is assessing flight logs and emails relating to Epstein’s private jet flying in and out of Stansted Airport’s terminal for private aircraft.
The airport, about 40 miles (65km) from central London, was so favoured by Epstein that he began talks about buying it while he was using it to transport women into the UK.
Epstein may not only have used commercial airports, with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) launching a review into whether RAF bases were used by the paedophile.
Stansted, Luton and Birmingham airports have previously said in statements that private flights were not managed by the terminals they operate, and that Border Force was responsible for immigration and customs checks.
Woman ‘brought to have sex with Andrew’
Thames Valley Policy, which is investigating Mountbatten-Windsor, has made an appeal for witnesses to come forward if they believe they have information about alleged sexual misconduct involving the King’s brother.
A woman, who is not British and was in her 20s at the time, has alleged that she was brought to the UK by Epstein in 2010 in order to have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor.
She claims that after sleeping with the former Duke of York at Royal Lodge, his then home in Windsor, she was then given tea and a tour of Buckingham Palace.

(REUTERS)Mountbatten-Windsor has not previously responded to the woman’s claims but he has always strongly denied any wrongdoing in connection with his links to Epstein.
In 2014, Virginia Giuffre became the first Epstein survivor to publicly accuse Mountbatten-Windsor of similar encounters after she claimed she was brought to London by Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with the then Duke of York.
Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied the claim. In 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against him in New York and the case was settled the following year for an estimated £12m, with no admission of liability. Giuffre took her own life last year aged 41.
