New court documents have revealed that Prince Andrew met with Jeffrey Epstein while the convicted paedophile was under house arrest.
It has come to light that the disgraced royal, 63, visited Epstein in Florida in June 2010 after an email sent from the tycoon to his banker was uncovered, reading: “Andrew just sat next to me at dinner.”
The email goes against claims made by the Duke of York in his infamous Newsnight interview in 2019. Andrew affirmed he had only met with the convicted paedophile in December 2010, reports The Sun.
In the Newsnight interview, the disgraced Duke told Emily Maitlis he had travelled to New York to break off his friendship with Epstein and didn’t mention any other times that he had made contact with him.
After serving a 13-month sentence in prison in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution, Epstein was released on house arrest. Andrew said he only met with Epstein in December 2010 to end their friendship.
