Epstein files latest: Andrew, Elon Musk, and Peter Mandelson are among individuals identified in freshly disclosed documents

According to US Justice Department archives, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace immediately after the convicted sex offender’s release from home detention.

According to a document dated September 27, 2010, Epstein contacted Mountbatten-Windsor while visiting London

Mountbatten-Windsor answered by saying he was about to depart Scotland and reportedly proposed they “could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.”

According to the paper, Mountbatten-Windsor emailed again two days later, saying, “We are delighted for you to come here to BP. Come with whomever, and I’ll be available from 1600 to 2000.”

“BP” is thought to refer to Buckingham Palace.

It is unclear if the meeting at Buckingham Palace had transpired. The former prince’s royal titles were revoked last year amid rising controversy over his ties to Epstein.

Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied wrongdoing.
