Washington, D.C.,24 December (H.S.): Newly released Jeffrey Epstein files unveiled on Tuesday include a provocative 2001 email from an anonymous sender identified as A, dispatched from Balmoral Castle—Queen Elizabeth II's Scottish retreat—requesting Ghislaine Maxwell procure new inappropriate friends, reigniting scrutiny over Prince Andrew's erstwhile associations with the disgraced financier.

Sent August 16, 2001, at 11:09 a.m. from The Invisible Man (abx17@dial.pipex.com) to Maxwell's gmax1@mindspring.com, the missive opens: I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family. Activities take place all day and I am totally exhausted... The Girls are completely shattered and I will have to give them an early night today as it is getting tiring splitting them up all the time! It proceeds: How's LA? Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? before concluding, See ya A xxx, with plans for a hot and sunny getaway post-August 25.

Maxwell replied swiftly: So sorry to disappoint you, however the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends.These addresses link to Epstein's infamous black book, where aace@dial.pipex.com appears under Duke of York, and further 2002 exchanges—also under The Invisible Man—discuss a Peru jaunt, with Maxwell forwarding itineraries from Juanesteban Ganoza querying About the girls... how old is he? and proposing lunches, horse riding.

A responded via aace@dial.pipex.com: As for girls well I leave that entirely to you and Juan Estoban! Masses of love A xxx. A March 3 follow-up saw Maxwell assure discreet 2 legged sight seeing (read intelligent pretty fun and from good families) for Andrew, emphasizing privacy: He does not want to read about any trip in the papers.

The tranche, part of over 11,000 documents from Epstein's probes mandated by Congress for December 19 completion, features a 2020 U.S. Department of Justice mutual legal assistance request to interview H.R.H Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward as a potential witness/participant—not target—in Epstein matters, seeking details on females met via Epstein/Maxwell and relationship timelines.

Andrew, stripped of prince/Duke of York styles in October amid Epstein links, has denied wrongdoing, stating he never see, witness or suspect[ed] Epstein's crimes; his team was approached for comment.

Files also reference President Donald Trump flying Epstein's jet many more times than previously... reported, though DOJ flagged such claims as untrue and sensationalist; Trump, reelected 2024, maintains: I was never on Epstein's Plane and rejects impropriety. No evidence of illegality emerges from appearances alone, with releases ongoing.
