With girls coming ‘after school’ and $5,000 cash floats, the full sordid truth about Andrew’s wild 2010 visit to Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion to ‘break up their friendship’ can today be revealed.
He lied to Emily Maitlis in his BBC interview that he had only visited the convicted child predator to ‘honourably’ inform him he could never see him again.
He suggested he had stayed ‘four days’, but in truth Andrew enjoyed the paedophile’s hospitality for nine days, with the scheming financier organising a dizzying timetable of meetings and parties – starting with a ‘facial’ cosmetic treat, the Daily Mail’s analysis of the latest cache of emails reveals. Epstein even told Andrew he had arranged ‘a car and driver for your use for the week’.
Disturbingly, there are several emails to Epstein that week about young women apparently of school age.
One ‘confirmed that she would come after school’, while another email stated someone ‘will come after school’.
They are not identified so it is unclear if they refer to the same girl – although these two emails were sent from different devices. Americans often refer to college or university as school.
On the same day, Epstein sent his accountant a message instructing him to ‘bring 5k cash’.
There is nothing to explain these mysterious emails, but there is a mass of separate evidence that Epstein lured schoolgirls to abuse them at his Florida home where he kept wads of cash to give $300 to each victim.
The former duke of York claimed in his car-crash 2019 interview he went to Epstein’s mansion ‘with the sole purpose’ of informing him it was goodbye, adding: ‘I never had any contact with him from that day forward’.
He said ‘coincidentally’ he had just been ending their friendship when the infamous photograph of the pair strolling in Central Park was taken.
In fact, it now appears that picture was snapped on day seven of a sleazy nine-day stay at Chez Epstein, during which a parade of young women was seen coming and going from the 21,000 sq ft mansion.
It appears that one of them was the same 26-year-old ‘beautiful, trustworthy’ Russian woman who Epstein, four months earlier, had arranged for Andrew to have dinner with.
