A photograph surfaced, showing a figure believed to be Prince Andrew waving from the doorway of Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion. It was a farewell, he initially claimed, marking the end of his time with the disgraced financier – a final departure from a world he would later insist held no hint of impropriety.
Yet, newly examined documents paint a far more complex picture. The “Epstein files” reveal a meticulously scheduled series of events, interwoven with troubling details. References appear to young women arriving at the mansion “after school,” the meaning of which remains disturbingly ambiguous.
On the very same day these messages circulated, Epstein reportedly directed his accountant to deliver $5,000 in cash. The coincidence is stark, raising unsettling questions about the purpose of these funds and their connection to the young women mentioned in the correspondence.
Andrew maintained that severing ties with Epstein was a matter of principle, “the honourable and right thing to do.” He asserted he’d completely cut off contact after that trip. However, a subsequent message allegedly sent by Andrew suggests otherwise – a message expressing anticipation for a future reunion: “looking forward to joining you all again soon.”
The timeline of Andrew’s visit, dubbed “Chez Epstein” by some, begins on November 29th. An email simply stated: “landed.” Soon after, arrangements were made for a facial at an exclusive club, and Epstein boasted to an associate about having the royal “in NY with me for a week. Great insights.” Simultaneously, disturbing inquiries were being made about the sizes of women’s clothing.
The following day, while receiving government reports from Buckingham Palace, Andrew forwarded them directly to Epstein. Meanwhile, further requests for financial transactions surfaced – $500 for ballet shoes, and another $500 sent to someone named Emily. Messages indicated more young women were scheduled to visit that evening.
December 1st brought plans for a lavish dinner party, intended to celebrate Epstein’s release from prison after a conviction for procuring a child for prostitution. The guest list included prominent figures like Woody Allen, Chelsea Handler, and Katie Couric, unaware of the shadows lurking beneath the surface of the celebration.
The preparations continued on December 2nd, with frantic attention paid to flowers and decorations. Epstein even offered advice to a Russian model concerned about her passport, a seemingly innocuous gesture that now feels chillingly calculated.
By December 3rd, the party was deemed “sensational” by publicist Peggy Siegal. Andrew himself downplayed the event as a “small dinner party” with only a handful of attendees. However, Epstein’s schedule indicated Andrew spent the day with a US TV sports figure, Mark Packer.
The following day saw a shopping trip to Barneys, followed by a disturbing inquiry from Epstein: “anyone new for tonight?” Offers of two women were quickly forthcoming, and another message described a woman as “half swiss half russian” and “hot and fun.”
A lunch meeting with Faith Kates, founder of Next Model, was arranged, and a driver was dispatched to collect a model for a stay of “one or two nights.” The pattern of orchestrated encounters was becoming increasingly clear.
December 5th included a visit to a wellness club and a breakfast invitation with Woody Allen and his wife. Later, Andrew and Epstein were photographed in Central Park, and Andrew reportedly received a foot massage from a Russian model while watching an early cut of “The King’s Speech.”
On December 6th, Andrew claimed it was his departure day. Yet, a message from Peggy Siegal contradicted this account: “It’s Andrew’s last night. Want to come or help?” She also arranged a dinner with Naomi Campbell and her boyfriend, while Epstein received another $5,000.
A photograph captured Andrew waving goodbye to Katherine Keating, the daughter of a former Australian Prime Minister, as he left Epstein’s manor. The image, once a symbol of a friendly farewell, now carries a weight of suspicion and unanswered questions.
The final day, December 7th, saw Andrew fly home, according to the files. Years later, he would state in an interview that he had “nothing to do” with the activities of those coming and going from the house. But the evidence suggests a far more entangled relationship, shrouded in secrecy and raising profound concerns about the extent of his knowledge.
