The former Duke of York has been told to 'speak to the US Congress'

The Metropolitan Police are facing calls to reopen a probe into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following the release of further documents from the Epstein files, which appear to link the former Duke of York to three more victims of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Images uncovered from the files appeared to show the former prince on his knees, looming over a woman lying on the floor, with one picture showing the man placing his hand on the woman's torso.


The pictures have led to calls from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for Andrew to testify to the US Congress about his connections to Epstein.

US lawyer Gloria Allred, who has represented 27 of Epstein's victims, has called for the "Metropolitan Police [to] reopen their investigation of Andrew.

"Andrew should volunteer to speak to Congress, even though he has denied that he has committed any crime.

"He should do this to help the survivors learn what he observed and what was going on at the crime scene."

She also told the Mail: "The crime scene was every residence of Jeffrey Epstein, and Andrew stayed with Epstein at a number of his homes,"

As well as the images, a series of emails appeared to show Epstein arranging for Andrew to have dinner with a 26-year-old Russian woman in 2010.

The convicted sex offender allegedly described her as "clever" and "beautiful".

The pair disclosed dates she would be in London, the documents appear to show.

Andrew allegedly responded: "Of course. I am in Geneva until the morning of 22nd but would be delighted to see her. Will she be bringing a message from you? Please give her my contact details to get in touch."

The email is signed off with: "A - HRH The Duke of York KG."

Another email appeared to show Andrew inviting Epstein to Buckingham Palace in September 2010.

The former Duke of York allegedly emailed him: "I am just departing Scotland, should be down by 18:00. I'll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring.

"Alternatively, we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy. A."

Epstein appeared to respond: "Already in London, what time would you like me and [redacted]. We will also need/have private time."

Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, appeared to tell Epstein to "marry me" just six months after the paedophile was released from jail.

In the email, Ms Ferguson allegedly wrote: "You are a legend. I really don't have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me."

The context behind the messages has not been explained in the files.

Separate emails appear to show the former Duchess of York offering Epstein and his friends VIP tours of Buckingham Palace.

Being named or pictured in any of the files is not evidence of any wrongdoing, and their inclusion in the documents does not implicate anyone in Epstein's criminality.

Fergie has previously made clear her regret of knowing Epstein, saying: "I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf… I will have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again."

Andrew has always denied any misconduct, and GB News has contacted the Met Police for comment.
