Second lady claims she was despatched by Epstein to UK for intercourse with Andrew, lawyer says | EUROtoday

A second lady has claimed she was despatched to the UK by Jeffrey Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The lady’s lawyer advised the BBC that the encounter came about on the disgraced former prince’s former residence of Royal Lodge in 2010.

The lady, who isn’t named, was mentioned to be in her 20s on the time. No proof has been supplied in assist of the lady’s claims.

Speaking to he BBC, her lawyer Brad Edwards mentioned the lady, who isn’t British, was given a tour of Buckingham Palace after spending the evening with Andrew.

“We’re talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein over to Prince Andrew. And she even had, after a night with Prince Andrew, a tour of Buckingham Palace,” said Mr Edwards, from the law firm Edwards Henderson.

The woman is the second to claim she was brought to London to have sex with Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles amid pressure over his ties with Epstein.

Virginia Giuffre alleged she had sex with the former prince on three occasions, including once in London when she was 17. Andrew has always denied the allegations.

Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008, and died in a New York prison cell while waiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.

On Friday, the latest tranche of documents as part of the so-called Epstein files was released by the US Justice Department, revealing further exchanges between the financier and the former prince.

The latest release included pictures that appeared to feature Andrew poised on all fours over a woman on the floor. It is unclear where and when the photos were taken, and the woman’s identity is masked.

Mr Edwards told the BBC he was representing more than 200 alleged survivors of Epstein. He said he was considering filing a civil lawsuit on behalf of the woman against Andrew.

The UK government, meanwhile, is heaping pressure on the former prince to reveal all he knows about Epstein so the paedophile financier’s victims are given all they “deserve and need”.

Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has mentioned the previous duke needs to be ready to testify earlier than the US Congress about his hyperlinks to Epstein, after he featured within the disclosures.

Communities secretary Steve Reed mentioned in an interview on Sunday that Andrew “clearly has insight into what was going on”.

However, he wouldn’t be drawn on whether or not the federal government would adjust to an extradition request from the US for Andrew, ought to one be made.

“You’re asking me now details of legislation that would depend on the type of offence that may or may not have been committed. It’s entirely hypothetical,” Mr Reed replied.

“I don’t think it’s sensible for me to come on here and start talking hypothetically about situations that may or may not exist.”

Andrew and Mr Edwards have been contacted by The Independent.
