Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein at his publicly-owned mansion at Windsor’s Royal Lodge, it has been reported.
Andrew hosted the trio for his daughter Beatrice’s 18th birthday celebrations in 2006, according to the BBC.
The event took place just two months after a US arrest warrant had been issued for Epstein for the sexual assault of a minor.
Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein had reportedly visited Windsor Castle for the event, but it was not previously known that they had been hosted at Andrew’s 30-room private home, for which he has not paid rent for over two decades.
Buckingham Palace has been contacted for a comment.
The BBC said Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein visited Royal Lodge ahead of the main party, which took place in the state rooms of Windsor Castle.
The broadcaster said it had matched trees and a patio wall in an image of the trio to other pictures of Royal Lodge.
The event included champagne reception and banquet, it reported.

During a visit to Lichfield Cathedral, a man in the crowd, thought to be a member of anti-monarchy group Republic, shouted out a string of questions including “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?”
In a video, thought to have been filmed by the protester as he spoke, he also asks: “Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?”
The protester ends by saying: “Should MPs be allowed to debate the royals in the House of Commons?”
Charles can be seen shaking hands with well-wishers and waving as the man shouts out his questions and at one point a woman turns round and tells him to “shut up”.

Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have agreed to leave their Royal Lodge home in exchange for two separate residences, according to reports.
The King’s brother is said to be in talks with Charles’s representatives about leaving Royal Lodge voluntarily following the furore over the “peppercorn” rent for the 30-room mansion, where he has lived for more than 20 years.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey is calling for a select committee inquiry into how the Crown Estate, effectively Andrew’s landlord, has “managed” support for the royal.
The Government has so far refused to allocate time in the House of Commons for MPs to discuss Andrew’s situation because the royal family wants Parliament to focus on “important issues”.
But the issue could be raised on one of the days when ministers are not in control of the parliamentary timetable.
Graham Smith, chief executive officer of Republic, said: “The royals need to be challenged, and if the politicians won’t do the job and the police won’t investigate then more and more members of the public will be asking the tough questions.
“We want to see broadcasters invite Charles into a studio and ask him the same questions.”
