Prince Andrew's Contact with Epstein Extended Beyond Claims

Newly revealed emails have exposed that Prince Andrew maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein months longer than previously claimed. Despite Andrew stating in a 2019 interview that he severed ties in December 2010, messages show he was still in communication with Epstein as late as February 2011, when he wrote, 'Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon.' These disclosures emerged in a court case involving the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and former Barclays CEO Jes Staley, challenging both men's claims about the timeline of their relationships with Epstein. The emails were part of FCA documents that also revealed Epstein's ongoing contact with other high-profile figures, including Staley. Andrew faced significant fallout from his association with Epstein, including losing royal patronages and settling a civil claim with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre for $16 million in 2022. The revelations further damage Andrew's already tarnished reputation and highlight the extent of his connections to Epstein.
