Police probe Jeffrey Epstein’s time spent at Balmoral with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Police in Scotland are probing allegations that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, known as Prince Andrew, spent time together at Balmoral, a private royal estate in Scotland, according to the source. A spokesperson for Police Scotland stated that they have received information and are conducting active investigations, but these are at an early stage and are evidence-led, with the needs of victim survivors at the forefront.

The police declined to provide further details about the investigation, stating that they would not confirm any specifics. The Daily Express reported that the inquiry is tied to claims that women were "trafficked" to Balmoral. Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles by King Charles III, has faced numerous accusations since the release of the Epstein files.

He was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office and questioned under caution before being released. The scandal has severely damaged his reputation and has created turmoil within Britain's royal family. Photos obtained by US prosecutors from 2021 allegedly show Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier's right-hand woman who is currently serving time in a US federal prison for sex trafficking and other crimes, at Balmoral in 1999.

Buckingham Palace has maintained that they do not speak for Mountbatten-Windsor and do not comment on ongoing police investigations. Mountbatten-Windsor has categorically denied any wrongdoing in his interactions with Epstein. The police investigation into allegations of misconduct in public office, which pertains to his role as a trade envoy for Britain, continues.
