The valet, the burnt toast, and the trip to Peru: evidence that suggests Andrew link to Ghislaine Maxwell emails

Documents released in relation to Jeffrey Epstein contain emails between Maxwell and an individual signing off as ‘A’ and ‘The Invisible Man’

Emails between Ghislaine Maxwell and an individual signing off as “A” are among the largest dump yet of documents released by the US Department of Justice in relation to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

While “A” – who also refers to themselves as “The Invisible Man” – is not explicitly identified in the emails, they include key details that corroborate the suggestion that they are Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was then still a working royal known as Prince Andrew.

The correspondence, dating back to 2001, includes what would seem to be damning language – such as when “A” asks Maxwell “have you found me some new inappropriate friends?” – and sections of text which correlate with details suggesting the messages are from the then prince.

Mountbatten-Windsor has been approached for comment. In October, he said of claims about his links with Epstein: “I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”
