Publication of 2010 correspondence comes two days after Mountbatten Windsor was stripped of his titles
The former Duke of York told Jeffrey Epstein “it would be good to catch up in person” months after the convicted sex offender was released from prison, newly released emails reveal.
The publication of the correspondence comes two days after Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was stripped of his titles and struck from the official roll of the peerage in an attempt by Buckingham Palace to halt the damage caused by the former duke’s spiralling scandals.
Epstein was jailed for soliciting prostitution from a minor in July 2009. In email exchanges between the pair released on Friday, the disgraced financier suggested to Mountbatten Windsor on April 15 2010 that he meet the former JP Morgan executive Jes Staley, who was banned from the UK banking sector for life in June for misleading the watchdog over his relationship with Epstein.
Mountbatten Windsor replied that he would not be in the UK but would “make sure I meet [Staley] soon on another trip”.
