Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor told Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell "I can't take any more of this", when he was first alerted 14 years ago that a British newspaper was about to run a report about the trio.
His email conversation with the US-based pair was among documents from the estate of the convicted sex offender Epstein that were released on Wednesday, including some mentioning Donald Trump.
The former prince's response came after he was forwarded a right-of-reply email that the Mail on Sunday had sent Maxwell in March 2011, which made numerous claims about Andrew.
According to files released on Wednesday, Andrew's reply reads: "What's all this? I don't know anything about this! You must SAY so please. This has NOTHING to do with me. I can't take any more of this."
The latest release comes after Andrew was requested by Democrats in US Congress to answer questions as part of its investigation into Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking offences.
