More details have emerged about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s last known visit to see paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The former Prince Andrew, who lost his royal titles last year, faces more pressure over his friendship with the convicted sex offender and financier, who died in his cell in 2019.
He stayed at Epstein’s New York mansion in 2010, some months after Epstein had finished his sentence for sex offenses against a 14-year-old girl.
During his 2019 Newsnight interview, Emily Maitlist pointed out that eyewitnesses saw girls coming and going from the mansion.
