REVEALED: Prince Andrew hosted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with a young model at Balmoral 'while Queen was in residence' - as the royal brands it 'abhorrent to suggest he would condone or participate in' any illegal behavior
- Duke of York hosted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein at Balmoral, it can be revealed
- Queen was believed to be in residence when the disgraced financier visited
- Prince Andrew has been under growing fire over his friendship with Epstein
- Royal said last night he is 'appalled' by abuse claims against his former friend
- Prince Andrew 'deplores exploitation' and 'the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behaviour is abhorrent', statement said
- Epstein took his own life this month while awaiting a new sex trafficking trial
Prince Andrew's efforts to distance himself from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal were thrown into turmoil last night as details emerged of how he hosted the paedophile and his entourage at Balmoral.
One of the young women on the trip told the Daily Mail how the prince personally welcomed the party to the castle in mid-1999 – after the disgraced US financier had already begun recruiting dozens of underage girls as sex slaves.
It comes after revelations that Andrew even visited Epstein – who killed himself in prison this month – at his home in New York in 2010. This was two years after Epstein had been convicted of sex with a child.
Last night, Prince Andrew said he was 'appalled' by the allegations about Epstein.

The Duke has been supported by the Queen in the wake of renewed scrutiny after Epstein's death, namely by allowing him to sit next to her during a trip to Balmoral (pictured) last week
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: 'The Duke of York has been appalled by the recent reports of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes.
'His Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behaviour is abhorrent.'
Footage obtained by the Mail On Sunday showing the Duke Of York inside the paedophile's Manhattan mansion has forced the Royal to finally break his silence on his relationship with the billionaire
Earlier that day, wrapped up against the cold in a fur-trimmed coat, Epstein glances towards his chauffeur-driven black Bentley

In footage from 2010 published by The Mail on Sunday, the Duke of York was shown grinning from the doorway of Epstein's mansion – dubbed the 'House of Horrors' by some of his victims – as a number of very young women leave and enter.
He is seen waving a woman goodbye after Epstein leaves to get in a chauffeur-driven car.
Speaking on condition of anonymity yesterday, the woman who joined Epstein at Balmoral 20 years ago recalled making 'chitchat' with the prince.
'He was really nice. He was very polite. [He had his] guard up,' said the woman, who was then a model in her 20s.
She told how the group stayed overnight at the 52-bedroom castle, and spent the following day being entertained in the grounds.
The visit is thought to have taken place in late summer or early autumn – when the Queen is likely to have been in residence.
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell in a New York jail earlier this month while facing new allegations of sex trafficking
The Duke has vehemently denied claims by Epstein's alleged 'sex slave' Virginia Roberts (right) that she had sex with the Prince on three occasions, the first when she was 17 and once at the US millionaire's now-notorious 40-room mansion at 9 East 71st Street in Manhattan
Epstein and his entourage visited the estate as part of a week-long trip to the UK, during which they also stayed at the London home of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's ex-partner who has been accused of lining up underage girls for him to have sex with.
The woman who joined them on the trip – not long after she had started giving sexual massages to Epstein – recalled how she had felt like she was in a 'fairytale', brushing with royalty. But now she says she had no idea why she was ever included in the visit.
'Why was I really there?' she said. 'Did [Epstein] really enjoy my company all that much or was I being prepped to end up being sent out like a gift to some people?'
She avoided any plans Epstein may have had for her that evening by retiring to bed early.
Royal family members joined the Queen, sporting a smart pale blue coat dress with a matching hat adorned with a large flower, for a Sunday Service at church in Balmoral yesterday - but Prince Andrew was conspicuously absent
Nearly a year later, in June 2000, Epstein and Miss Maxwell attended a party at Windsor Castle hosted by the Queen to mark Andrew's 40th birthday, Princess Anne's 50th, Princess Margaret's 70th and Prince William's 18th.
The woman who stayed at Balmoral spent almost a year in Epstein's orbit, joining him on about a dozen trips. Epstein (above) gave her a place to live in New York, rent-free, and later paid for her to go to college
In 2001, Andrew met another member of Epstein's entourage, Virginia Roberts, who claims she was on a trip to London with the financier when she met Andrew and had sex with him in a bath.
Miss Roberts claims she slept with Andrew three times – in London and New York – when she was 17.
The claims, submitted to a court in 2014, were thrown out by a judge as 'immaterial and impertinent'.
Andrew has vehemently denied any sexual encounters with her.
Buckingham Palace has said: 'Any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue. It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts.'
However, he remains haunted by a photograph taken with her on the London trip, with his arm around Miss Roberts's bare midriff.
Yesterday, the woman who Andrew welcomed to Balmoral said the photo 'sickened' her.
Prince Charles, 70, and the Duchess of Cornwall, 72, travelled to the service in Crathie Kirk, Balmoral yesterday - which Prince Andrew did not attend
She spent almost a year in Epstein's orbit, joining him on about a dozen trips. He gave her a place to live in New York, rent-free, and later paid for her to go to college.
She initially met Epstein through her work as a model. The second time they met, on a trip to Palm Beach, he asked her to give her a massage. It quickly turned sexual.
'We fooled around a bit. I never had intercourse with him,' she said.
Epstein killed himself in jail this month after being accused of sexually abusing a string of underage girls.
Andrew has been dogged by accusations of a lack of judgment about his links with Epstein.
The Duke quit his role as UK trade envoy after fallout from photos of him with the billionaire in Central Park.
A spokesman for Prince Andrew declined to comment on the Balmoral visit.

A very small number of people know exactly what happened to Jeffrey Epstein on the morning of August 10. The rest of us only know what the government and media tell us. John Dietrich
Epstein Allegedly Bought Women’s Panties During 2008 Incarceration
2:25
Jeffrey Epstein bought two pairs of size small women’s panties from a jail store during his incarceration in 2008, according to reports.
The pedophile reportedly spent over $2,000 while locked up for 13 months in Palm Beach, Florida, after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for sex, records obtained by the Miami Herald state.
“The panties were certainly too small for Epstein, who also purchased his briefs in men’s medium and sweatshirts ranging from XL to 3XL, and size-12 shoes,” the report said. “So what, or who, were they for, and why wouldn’t the purchase raise eyebrows under the circumstances?”
Epstein was reportedly allowed to leave the prison store in a chauffeur-driven vehicle and taken to a downtown West Palm Beach office building where he stayed for 12 hours a day, six days a week. A lawyer involved in the case alleged that Epstein used that time for sex with young women.
On August 10, Breitbart News reported that Epstein was found dead in his cell after he apparently killed himself. On Friday, the medical examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided Epstein’s ‘orgy island’ off the coast of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands on Monday, where his alleged victims said the pedophile had sex with underage girls.
However, U.S. Virgin Islands Sen. Oakland Benta (D) told Breitbart News Tonight on Wednesday that the raid should have happened a long time ago and that he is upset with government leaders for ignoring what allegedly took place there.
Benta commented:
I do pray that once the investigation has taken place, as a result of so many people within this territory who are the leadership of this government, of this territory, hiding behind curtains as parasites, and … bringing young ladies to our shores from elsewhere and destroying their lives at will, with passion, without consideration for the child’s soul. And many individuals who participated in these acts are fathers themselves; they have children as well.
“I’m very upset that our very government leadership, stewardship of this government, who are part of it — participated and turned a blind eye for financial gain,” he concluded.
American media shuts down the Epstein story
The corporate-controlled media in the United States has effectively shut down all reporting on the death of the politically connected multi-millionaire sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, only one week after his body was discovered in a prison cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.
Epstein’s death was the most widely reported American event in the first few days of the week, with hours of coverage on cable television, the lead story on nightly network news programs, and pages upon pages of reporting in the New York Times, Washington Post and other leading daily newspapers.
There was ample reason for such attention, particularly by the standards of the sensation-obsessed American media. Epstein was, at least by reputation, both fabulously wealthy and dangerously predatory. He travelled in the highest circles of bourgeois society, hobnobbing with ex-presidents, future presidents, British royalty and numerous billionaires, some of whom he claimed to have enriched enormously.
And his crimes against teenage girls and young women had already resulted in a 2008 felony conviction that led to a slap on the wrist in jail time, in keeping with his status as a member of the class of super-rich “money managers.” Only hours before his death, moreover, 2,000 pages of new documents were released linking many prominent world figures, including Prince Andrew and several top Democrats, to Epstein’s sex-trafficking activities.
As to the death itself, that was sensational as well, with questions aplenty: How did it happen that after an alleged suicide attempt on July 23 Epstein was taken off suicide watch only six days later and returned to the cell where he died? Why was his cellmate removed, in violation of the normal protocol for a high-risk prisoner, only a few hours before his death? Why did the guards fail to do their rounds during the night of Epstein’s death, when they should have been checking on him every half an hour? Why was Epstein’s hyoid bone broken in several places, a medical finding more typical of homicide by strangulation than suicide by hanging, according to numerous experts?
The previous “suicide” attempt, if that was what it was, deserves greater scrutiny as well. Epstein was sharing a cell with a former New York policeman, Nicholas Tartaglione, who was facing four counts of murder as well as narcotics charges. The pairing would seem quite unusual, even provocative, given the disparity between the two in physical size and the likelihood that a former cop might be inclined to mete out punishment to a presumed pedophile and child rapist.
As it was, on July 23 Tartaglione summoned prison guards to find Epstein semi-conscious with “marks” on his neck. Epstein was resuscitated and placed on suicide watch. He later claimed to be afraid of Tartaglione and accused him of assault, which the ex-cop denied. After six days, Epstein was taken off suicide watch and put back in a regular cell, but with a different cellmate.
After Epstein’s death, social media was filled with speculation about the unusual circumstances in which he died and the possible motives of highly placed and political powerful individuals for doing away with him. The corporate media went into overdrive, led by the New York Times, to denounce such questions as “conspiracy theories,” without foundation in evidence—although the lack of evidence was due to the silence of the police and prison authorities as they sought to come up with a plausible explanation.
On Thursday came the revelation that Epstein’s hyoid bone had been broken in several places, which experts suggested was more typical in homicides than suicides. The Times again sought to tamp down speculation. Finally, on Friday, the chief medical examiner, who had delayed for several days drawing a conclusion, issued a formal finding that Epstein died a suicide. The corporate media immediately rubber-stamped this finding and sought to shut down any public questioning of it.
This was done so thoroughly that on Sunday, August 18, there was not a single reference to Epstein’s death on any of the five television interview programs. Over five hours of broadcast time, accounting, according to the transcripts, for 45,000 spoken words, the name Epstein was never mentioned.
This media silence is itself perhaps the most suspicious development in the entire Epstein case. Why was there no reference to the story which riveted public attention for several days last week? It had occasioned tweets by President Trump accusing various Democrats of collusion in his death, and statements by Democrats, such as New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, a candidate for president, that the timing of Epstein’s death was “too convenient.”
If this had become a non-story only eight days after Epstein’s lifeless body was found, the question must be asked: what is the American media seeking to hide?
Again, the New York Times has taken the lead in the cover-up. It published a lengthy front-page story in its Sunday edition under the headline, “Epstein Feared Misery of Jail in His Final Days,” which has only one purpose: further shoring up the suicide verdict by painting a picture of Epstein as so desperate to avoid spending time in his cell that he brought his lawyers in for hours of consultation where he could sit in a conference room.
The circumstances detailed by no less than seven reporters can be read quite differently from the conclusion drawn in the article. Perhaps Epstein was desperate to avoid his cell because he feared what was going to happen to him there. After all, he had barely escaped with his life on July 23.
Moreover, the Times reports: “Outside the meeting room, Mr. Epstein mounted a strategy to avoid being preyed upon by other inmates: He deposited money in their commissary accounts, according to a consultant who is often in the jail and speaks regularly with inmates there.” This again suggests fear on Epstein’s part of what others might do to him in prison.
Epstein’s own lawyers have indicated they do not accept the finding of suicide. “The defense team fully intends to conduct its own independent and complete investigation into the circumstances and cause of Mr. Epstein’s death,” they said in a statement. “We are not satisfied with the conclusions of the medical examiner.”
There are also reports that some jail staff members are not cooperating with the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s death.
That’s certainly a coincidence, isn’t it? Over the decades there have been so many people in a position to harm Bill and Hillary Clinton that have come to an intimately end that the word "Arkancide" has been invented.
Jeffrey Epstein dead, of purported suicide
A lot of very powerful Democrats are breathing sighs of relief. Dead men tell no tales, and the man whose tales could sink the reputations of and potentially incarcerate a slew of the most important political figures in the US (and a member of the British Royal Family) will be making no deals with prosecutors implicating bigger fish.
The cynics who insisted that he would never live to bring down so many powerful people have been vindicated. Of course, we don’t know any details of his demise, so theoretically it is possible that he took his own life for purely personal psychological concerns.
But that theoretical possibility is not strengthened by this, from the New York Times’ first account:
Last month, a week after being denied bail, Mr. Epstein was found unconscious in his cell at the jail in Manhattan with marks on his neck, and prison officials were investigating the incident as a possible suicide attempt.It was not immediately clear on Saturday whether the authorities had put in additional safeguards to watch him after the incident last month.
Let me translate: “not immediately clear” means that officials at the jail have not claimed the first thing that would come to mind if additional safeguards – which obviously were required -- had been in place. If he had been on suicide watch, as ordinary prudence would require, it is highly unlikely that he could have successfully killed himself. There should not have been any materials for a self-created hanging in the cell of someone who had previously attempted suicide.
The death comes less than a day after a court unsealed a trove of over 2000 documents implicating even more powerful figures. Incuding this, via Mike Cernovich:
That’s certainly a coincidence, isn’t it? Over the decades there have been so many people in a position to harm Bill and Hillary Clinton that have come to an intimately end that the word "Arkancide" has been invented.
A question going forward: what will become of his estate? There will no doubt be litigation and court proceedings that will establish how much wealth he actually had. It would not surprise me if it turns out to be a lot less than many have guessed, as was the case when Robert Maxwell, the father of his sometimes associate and accused procuress Ghislaine Maxwell, and Armand Hammer, legendary oilman who got his start as an aoperative for Rusian communists raising monet by selling off the Czars' art, each died.
A brief thought on Jeffery Epstein's death
Much has been written and will be written on the death of Jeffery Epstein. Was it suicide? Was it murder? The only thing certain is that the man did not die of natural causes.
The official finding will most likely be suicide. Even if this is actually the case, it still will fuel "conspiracy" theories. Rightfully so. The man already tried to commit suicide the week before, after which he was supposedly placed on suicide watch. Here's a very important point. Epstein was probably the most valuable human asset ever housed in the Manhattan Correctional Center, given the high-level people he could have implicated in his pedophilia escapades and brought down. You would think every precaution would have been made to keep him alive.
Trust in government and the agencies of government is already at an all time low. The Department of Justice, the CIA, and the FBI have already discredited themselves by their participation in the coup against President Trump. So whether Epstein's death was due to sinister acts by people in government or merely gross incompetence, the result will be the same: the public trust will continue to evaporate. This spells trouble for all of us. If people's confidence in government falls far enough, then things can be held together only with force. That won't be America.
Report: Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead in Manhattan Jail Cell
2:21
Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his Manhattan jail cell by suspected suicide, according to several reports.
Epstein, who was being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, reportedly committed suicide, hanging himself in his jail cell, according to reports from the New York Times and ABC News. According to the Associated Press, “The medical examiner’s office in Manhattan confirmed Epstein’s death.”
WATCH: ABC News Special Report: Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide overnight in his Lower Manhattan jail cell where he had been held pending trial on federal sex trafficking charges, three law enforcement officials told @ABC News. abcn.ws/31twJBV
He was charged last month on sex-trafficking-related charges.
As Breitbart News reported:
NBC 4 New York, citing sources, reported court documents state that Epstein allegedly had sexual encounters with dozens of underage girls at his Palm Beach, Florida residence. According to authorities, the politically connected hedge fund manager employed “female fixers” who sought out the girls from all over the world for such encounters. Some of the girls were allegedly transported to his homes in New York City, New Mexico, and a private Caribbean island, according to court documents.
The news of his suicide comes weeks after authorities found the disgraced billionaire semi-unconscious in his jail cell. At the time, Epstein was in a fetal position with marks around his neck, signifying a failed suicide attempt.
Breitbart News reported:
According to NBC New York, citing sources familiar with the matter, an injured Epstein was discovered in the fetal position inside his jail cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. He was found “semi-conscious with marks on his neck,” reports NBC New York. Two sources told the news outlet that Epstein may have attempted to take his own life by hanging. Another source said the hedge fund manager’s injuries were not serious and suggested the hedge fund manager may use them as a means to receive a transfer.
This development follows the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York’s move Friday, unsealing thousands of documents, “in which Virginia Roberts Guiffre … said Epstein forced her to have sex with powerful men, including former Maine Sen. George Mitchell, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Prince Andrew,” Fox Business reports.
This story is developing.
The Authorities Should Assume that Epstein was Murdered
Given the choice of choosing between human genius or human stupidity for someone being caused harm, you are almost always better off selecting stupidity. That’s a truism, and it underlies the argument that, as a result of an unfortunate string of irresponsible and negligent actions by the MCC federal jail in New York City, accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was able to kill himself in custody. However, “almost always” is not the same as “always”, and in this case logic, both legal and practical appears to point otherwise.
At the very least, in investigating Epstein’s death, federal authorities should pursue the case not as an accidental death, but as murder. Murder requires proof of intent to kill. Ordinarily, a series of negligent actions that led to a suicide would rule that out, leaving the worst available potential charges against Epstein’s jailers some form of negligent homicide or manslaughter.
But the law recognizes that in cases of extreme negligence (or recklessness) intent to kill can be imputed. This theory is often termed “depraved heart murder.” A textbook example of this somebody firing a gun into the air during a crowded celebration or other gathering. A bullet comes down and kills someone in the crowd. It doesn’t matter that the shooter lacked the direct intent to kill, his actions were so negligent that the law imputes it.
In the official version of the Epstein case, at least as has been made public, we have a virtually unbelievable string of irresponsible and negligent actions by MCC authorities leading to the suicide. It goes as follows:
- On July 23, Epstein was found with injuries leading authorities to believe he had attempted suicide or been attacked -- authorities assumed the former.
- He was placed on suicide watch but taken off it only six days later, and authorities failed to follow other procedures standard in such circumstances.
- Epstein was supposed to be assigned a cellmate, but his was quickly transferred.
- He was supposed to be monitored every 30 minutes but was not.
- The guards assigned him were not regular correctional officers, and they were overworked, tired, and supposedly fell asleep.
- Despite Epstein’s high profile there were no video cameras observing him.
- Despite what authorities assumed was an earlier suicide attempt, he was given ordinary prison clothes and bedding, which he could use to hang himself.
- He was also placed in a cell with a high bunk bed, also creating a danger he could use it to hang himself, which according to authorities occurred.
This alleged string of negligent actions is sufficient to impute a kind of murderous recklessness if true and ought to be investigated as such, at least as a starting point.
The problem, though, is that while human stupidity and fallibility know few limits, at times even here we must take pause. Because to go back to our textbook example of depraved heart murder we must modify the example for the Epstein case, since Epstein was not an ordinary prisoner. He was far and away the most high-profile prisoner in the unit, a man of substantial importance, and one who potentially might do many important people with whom he associatedsignificant harm during the course of a long and difficult trial.
So getting back to our fellow shooting off his gun in a crowd, a better analogy is not just that the bullet hit some random person, but rather that it just happened to strike a guy to whom the shooter owed a lot of money, or had slept with his wife, or had done him some other wrong. Because the string of negligent acts that resulted In Epstein’s death just happens to get rid of a person that a lot of important people clearly wanted to see dead.
Related to this is another oddity in the case, the nature of his critical injury. A couple of bones fractured in his neck are not usually associated with suicidal hangings. While not impossible, 75% of the time (and by some accounts more than that), those bones don’t fracture in a suicidal hanging of the kind Epstein supposedly carried out. Thus, we have an unusual series of very negligent actions by authorities that by official account led to an unusual manner of death, to the most prominent inmate in the jail, whom many people wanted to see gone. Those are long odds indeed.
So a murder investigation is not only appropriate, but must also account of these other factors, the unusual injuries, the inmate’s prominence, his celebrity, and the threat he posed to some of his former associates. If the Justice Department and other federal authorities investigating this case do not proceed in this manner, that in itself would be negligent.
