New Revelations Surface, Raising Questions About Duke's Previous Statements

Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein remained in contact until February 2011, despite Andrew's claims that he had cut off contact with Epstein in December 2010. This was revealed through emails between Andrew and Epstein that were handed to a court in London.

In one email, Andrew wrote to Epstein, "Keep in close touch and we'll play some more soon." This email was sent on the same day that a photograph of Andrew with 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell was published. Giuffre has accused Andrew of sexually abusing her on Epstein's private island Little St James as a teenager, which Andrew has denied.

In 2022, Andrew agreed to settle Giuffre's civil claim for an undisclosed sum, without admitting liability. The emails were obtained by Bloomberg after being disclosed in a filing by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

In 2019, Andrew told Emily Maitlis in an interview that he had ended contact with Epstein in 2010. During the interview, he denied sleeping with Giuffre and said that he could not have sweated at a nightclub because an "overdose of adrenaline in the Falklands war" had left him unable to sweat.

Four days later, Andrew announced that he would be stepping back from public duties. In January 2022, the Queen stripped Andrew of his military titles and royal patronages.

In March 2022, Andrew paid Giuffre a multi-million-pound out-of-court settlement. As part of the agreement, he was due to pay damages to Giuffre and a donation to a charity "in support of victims' rights".
