Prince Andrew is set to make his first public appearance since his catastrophic BBC Newsnight interview alongside the Queen on Christmas Day.

He will join the royal family at church in Sandringham, where the public gathers to watch the royals, to gain an idea of the public's opinion on him since the disastrous interview about his friendship with billionaire paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.

The Duke of York was forced to step down from his public duties last month as a result of the fallout from ill-judged comments in the interview, such as describing Epstein's paedophilia as simply 'unbecoming' and saying he didn't regret his friendship with the sex offender.

He also made no apology or heartfelt message to any of Epstein's victims when given an opportunity to add a comment at the end of the interview.

He did, however later issue a statement in which he said he 'deeply sympathised with everyone who has been affected'.

Throughout the interview Andrew claimed he had 'no recollection' of meeting Virginia Roberts, now Guiffre, who is one of Epstein's victims that claims she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times as a teenager.

He also claimed to have no idea of Epstein's illegal activities with young women.

Prince Andrew made a secret deal to fly around the world on a £40million luxury jet owned by a controversial financier whose private bank he quietly promoted while working as Britain’s overseas trade envoy.

A leaked email reveals how Andrew fixed it so that property tycoon David Rowland’s sumptuous 14-seat plane was used for some of his overseas Royal engagements after the Prince became ‘frustrated’ with the ageing aircraft provided by the RAF.

Records unearthed by The Mail on Sunday show how in the last two years Andrew has travelled on the Global Express at least five times while on official Royal duties, some of which he combined with promoting his treasured Pitch@Palace project or Mr Rowland’s latest business venture.

The email also reveals how Andrew, Britain’s roving trade ambassador between 2001 and 2011, sought assurances that the aircraft would have tight security while it was on the ground at Farnborough airport in Hampshire, because ‘it was going to be used by members of the Royal Family’.

Last night, Buckingham Palace said the flights were not taxpayer funded but refused to explain how they were paid for, other than to say the matter was ‘private’. A spokesman also refused to say which Royals had used the jet or who met the security bill.

In a leaked letter to a Bombardier sales executive, Rowland said: ‘The quality of it, from its flying capacity to its fantastic interior and paintwork, has exceeded all expectation’

The extraordinary deal was struck in 2010 when Prince Andrew was still UK trade envoy but records reveal he flew on the executive jet as recently as this May.

In October last year, records show the plane flew to the United Arab Emirates. The Court Circular reveals that only the next day Andrew was yet again cutting the ribbon on one of Mr Rowland’s banks following a multi-million-pound deal.

The Duke had previously opened a bank owned by the Rowlands in the tax haven of Luxembourg in September 2009 and then one in Monaco in 2012. In the eight days after opening the headquarters of the Anglo-Gulf Trade Bank in Abu Dhabi, Andrew attended three Pitch@Palace events there.

The Duke wrote to Mansour Ojjeh, President of Tag Group, where he outlined a deal claiming to have helped Rowland purchase his new Bombardier jet (pictured). He asked Ojjeh for reassurances that the jet would maintain high safety standards as it was to be used by the Royal family

Andrew’s use of the top-of-the-range jet is bound to raise questions over whether the Duke was left indebted to the Rowland family. In fact, in a separate gushing email to Jonathan Rowland – David’s 44-year-old son and loyal business lieutenant – Andrew barely disguises his joy at the arrangement.

‘I am deeply, deeply grateful to your father for making this possible,’ he wrote. ‘I have a completely different outlook on life and its possibilities now. Whilst trying not to let it go to my head! Very difficult!’

Last week, the MoS revealed how Andrew quietly plugged the Rowlands’ Luxembourg-based bank for the super-rich while on overseas trade envoy missions. We showed how the Duke allowed the Rowlands to shoehorn meetings into his trade tours so they could expand the bank and woo wealthy clients.

One senior Tory last night said the jet deal had ‘conflict of interest written in 6ft-high print’. Nigel Mills, before the Election a member of the Commons public accounts committee, pledged that if re-elected this week, he will demand a probe by the National Audit Office spending watchdog.

The Court Circular reveals that only the next day Andrew was yet again cutting the ribbon on one of Mr Rowland’s banks following a multi-million-pound deal

‘It poses real questions about whether when he was performing Royal duties he was doing that in the national interest or in the interests of his mates. And that is something which should be independently looked at,’ Mr Mills said.

With a range of more than 7,000 miles and a luxurious cabin fitted out to the exact requirements of the owner, the Global Express was certainly an impressive choice of jet. Gary Dukes, an account executive at Privé Jets, a US firm that brokers private jet travel, said such an aircraft would cost up to £7,600 per hour to hire, adding: ‘There is not a set price but hourly costs can be between £5,900 and £7,600 – that includes pilots, fuel, everything.’

David Rowland was thrilled by his new plane after a ‘delivery ceremony and dinner’ hosted by its manufacturer Bombardier in December 2010. ‘It is a great aeroplane!’ he wrote in a leaked letter to a Bombardier sales executive. ‘The quality of it, from its flying capacity to its fantastic interior and paintwork, has exceeded all expectation.’

It was a stark contrast to the tired RAF executive jets of 32 Squadron used by the Royals and other dignitaries. Some of the jets dated back to the 1970s and were unable to fly across the Atlantic.

In the astonishing leaked email, Andrew told Mansour Ojjeh, President of Tag Group, the then owner of Farnborough airport, that he was fed up with the Government’s failure to replace the aircraft.

‘Over the last few years, I have been increasingly frustrated at the Government’s lack of action and inability to see the need for replacement of the aircraft of the current Royal Flight,’ he said. In the late 1990s, Andrew, then still a Royal Navy officer, recommended privatising the Royal Family’s helicopters. This led to the Queen leasing a US-built helicopter instead of using two RAF Wessex helicopters.

But in his email he lamented that he had failed to persuade the Government to also privatise the Royal Flight’s fixed-wing aircraft.

And in a series of extraordinary comments, he revealed to Mr Ojjeh that he had taken matters into his own hands and approached ‘a number of private providers’.

Buckingham Palace last week refused to say how many aircraft owners the Duke spoke to – but his friend David Rowland was clearly one of them. Andrew outlined to Mr Ojjeh a deal in which he claimed to have helped Mr Rowland purchase his new Bombardier jet by buying time on the jet ‘in advance’.

‘I successfully moved the helicopter provision from the RAF to Civilian commercial nearly 10 years ago but the fixed-wing element has been as I say, frustrating in the extreme. In order to do something I went to discuss with a number of private providers the possibility of finding an alternative solution.

‘This I have managed to do and in the process have helped the owner by buying a number of hours per year in advance to help him with a potential purchase.

‘Cutting a long story short, I have contracted with David Rowland for use of his aircraft (which I helped him purchase from Bombardier).’

Buckingham Palace also refused to explain the financing of the arrangement but the Duke’s claim to have paid for access to the jet raises more questions about his mysterious finances.

Andrew’s only official income amounts to a £20,000-a-year Navy pension and a reported £249,000 paid privately each year by the Queen to run his official office. The Prince’s reason for writing to Mr Ojjeh was to seek assurances that the jet would be kept securely at Farnborough, Britain’s private jet hub.

‘I am concerned about the security of this aircraft as it is going to be used by members of the Royal Family and I would like to know it is well secure whilst it is on the ground at Farnborough.’ The Prince sent a draft of the email to Jonathan Rowland, asking for ‘any comments/additions/deletions?’

The jet deal further illustrates the extraordinarily close ties between Andrew and David Rowland, who was a tax exile for more than 30 years and who helped pay off Sarah Ferguson’s debts. In 2010, David Rowland quit as Tory Party treasurer amid controversy surrounding his business affairs.

Andrew (pictured earlier this year) was expected to travel to the Middle East in mid November as part of his Pitch project but has cancelled plans following reported pressure from his family

The MoS can reveal how Prince Andrew appeared to use Mr Rowland’s jet to fly to the Middle East for a visit in which he gave the Royal seal of approval to another one of his friend’s lucrative business ventures. Buckingham Palace’s Court Circular shows that Andrew opened the headquarters of the Anglo Gulf Trade Bank in Abu Dhabi’s glittering Al Maqm Tower, a 37-storey glass skyscraper on October 16, 2018. The bank is a joint venture between AGTB Holdings, a Rowland family-controlled company, and Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company.

Andrew was pictured cutting a ribbon in front of Edmund Rowland, David’s 34-year-old son who became the bank’s chief executive.

Publicly available flight records show the aircraft flew from Farnborough to Halifax Stanfield airport in Nova Scotia on May 23

Intriguingly, the Court Circular makes no mention of how and when Andrew arrived in Abu Dhabi. But the MoS has obtained flight records for Mr Rowland’s Global Express that show it flew from Farnborough to Abu Dhabi – a six-hour, 47-minute flight – the day before the opening ceremony. The bank’s bosses were thrilled the Duke had brought some Royal stardust to their launch.

‘Anglo-Gulf Trade Bank will have a real impact on the way that international trade is carried out and that is why the inauguration of our Abu Dhabi headquarters… by the Duke of York is such an important moment,’ said Jeremy Parrish, the bank’s chairman.

While in Abu Dhabi, the Prince also attended three events for Pitch@Palace – his business venture which matches investors with tech start-up companies – including one at Emirates Palace, a luxury five-star holiday resort.

That night, according to the Court Circular, Buckingham Palace’s register of official engagements, the Duke attended a dinner hosted by Nova Scotia’s lieutenant governor.

The jet then appears to have whisked him to Toronto for more official engagements, including a visit to Lakefield College School – a private school in Ontario where, as a 17-year-old, he enjoyed a blissful six months. The visit could be his last. Following his disastrous BBC interview about links to Jeffrey Epstein, Lakefield’s head last month confirmed Andrew is no longer the honorary chairman of its foundation.

The Canada tour was one of more than 30 foreign trips since 2014 in which Andrew promoted Pitch@Palace – he attended a so-called ‘boot camp’ for the project in Toronto and an event at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The Duke, known as ‘Air Miles Andy’, left Toronto on May 28, arriving in Farnborough the following day, according to the Court Circular. This exactly matched a six-hour, 13-minute flight recorded for Mr Rowland’s jet.

His schedule had also exactly matched the flight logs of Mr Rowland’s aircraft two months earlier. Andrew arrived at Bahrain International airport on the evening of March 25, according to the Court Circular. Mr Rowland’s Global Express touched down at the same airport at 7.22pm that night.

The Duke visited the Royal Navy’s £40 million support base at Mina Salman and had dinner with the King of Bahrain – and he also attended two Pitch@Palace events.

It was a similar picture in October 2017, when during a four-day visit to Abu Dhabi he combined visits to Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince and an international school with three Pitch@Palace events.

This time, it appears he flew home on his friend’s luxury jet. The Court Circular records that he arrived at Luton airport on October 5 – as did Mr Rowland’s Global Express.

Buckingham Palace said: ‘The Sovereign Grant funds official overseas travel by members of the Royal Family, at request of Government. None of the flights detailed were paid for by the Sovereign Grant.’

The Rowlands declined to comment for legal reasons. Farnborough airport said: ‘We do not comment on flights operating from the airport.’

Prince agreed to Rowland request for Palace meeting with Chinese bank boss

Prince Andrew agreed to a Buckingham Palace meeting with Chinese bank bosses who his business associates were trying to land as clients. The Duke’s willingness to host a meeting at the Palace is likely to fuel claims he exploited his role as Britain’s trade envoy to work behind the scenes for David Rowland.

Last week, The Mail on Sunday revealed how Andrew helped plug a foreign bank for the super-rich owned by the Rowland family during a taxpayer-funded trip to China. Now, leaked messages from April 2011, three months before Andrew quit as trade envoy, show how Jonathan Rowland, David’s son and business lieutenant, requested the use of Buckingham Palace to impress potential Chinese banking clients.

‘We are in Shanghai and just met with Bank Communications Chairman,’ he wrote to Andrew. ‘We are trying to sign a deal to be there [sic] partner in Europe. Would it be ok to invite them to meet you at BP [Buckingham Palace] next time they come to the UK?’ Andrew agreed, although he suggested Royal Lodge – his grand home in Windsor Great Park – might be a more discreet location. ‘YES. Let me check and get back as RL [Royal Lodge] might be better and more private.’

Palace sources said there were no records to suggest a private meeting took place between the Duke and Bank of Communications representatives. Jonathan Rowland declined to comment for legal reasons.

And we can be sure that this comedown won’t humble him. A man who has spent his entire life shouting at servants and consorting with sheikhs, oligarchs, and other sleazy characters is unlikely to suddenly “cease to behave like an apex git.”

United Kingdom: Prince Andrew to be hidden away

Prince Andrew, Duke of YorkUnited KingdomRoyalsCelebrities

The queen’s favorite son is now barred from public duties.

Prince Andrew has been, to use a new verb, “de-royaled,” said Jamie Doward in The Observer. The queen’s second son was barred from all public duties last week following his car-crash interview with the BBC, in which he attempted to defend his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Revealing himself to be “arrogant, aloof, and slow-witted,” the 59-year-old prince expressed zero sympathy for the underage girls Epstein kept as sex toys. Andrew claimed lamely that he had no recollection of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the American who says she was pimped out to the prince at age 17. And he had no good explanation for the four days he spent partying at the financier’s Manhattan home in 2010, two years after Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. As soon as the interview aired, charities and businesses began racing to sever their ties with the prince. An overnight pariah, Andrew has now been stripped of all royal duties. His personal royal flag no longer flies above the palatial home in Windsor Great Park, and the queen has even canceled the big 60th birthday bash she was to hold for him next February.

It was Prince Charles, Andrew’s older brother, who ordered this banishment, said Simon Heffer in The Daily Telegraph.

The Prince of Wales, 71, is preparing to take over from Queen Elizabeth II, 93, and he knows the succession will be a “moment of great vulnerability for the monarchy.” The palace wants the whole nation to “pull together behind the new king,” but Andrew’s misjudgments have put the enterprise at risk. Alarm bells went off at Buckingham Palace last week when, during a televised leadership debate ahead of the Dec. 12 general election, a questioner asked if the House of Windsor was still “fit for purpose.” Charles, who was in New Zealand, quickly phoned his mother and insisted her reputed favorite child be drummed out for the good of the Crown. “The queen agreed.”

Let’s not call this a punishment, said Camilla Long in The Times. Andrew has been relieved of the most tedious aspects of royal life—“no more opening hospitals or touring denture factories”—and will continue being pampered at Mummy’s expense. And we can be sure that this comedown won’t humble him. A man who has spent his entire life shouting at servants and consorting with sheikhs, oligarchs, and other sleazy characters is unlikely to suddenly “cease to behave like an apex git.” That’s why the royal family has to be restructured, said Gaby Hinsliff in The Guardian. Prince Charles is said to favor “a slimmed-down future monarchy, focused on himself, his wife, and his sons.” What exactly will happen to the dozens of minor royals isn’t clear—it’s difficult to see Andrew “succeeding in the working world strictly on his own merits.” Yet something has to change for this tarnished institution to survive. “If the monarchy cannot put its house in order, it should not be surprised if the nation ultimately seeks to do it for them.”

Prince Andrew (right) with David Rowland at the financier's luxury home on the island of Guernsey

Scandal-hit Prince Andrew is plunged deeper into crisis today by a devastating exposé of his business activities by The Mail on Sunday.

We can reveal how the Duke of York repeatedly exploited his taxpayer-funded role as Britain's trade envoy to work behind the scenes for his close friend, the controversial multi-millionaire financier David Rowland.

Bombshell emails reveal that while on official trade missions meant to promote UK business, Andrew was quietly plugging a private Luxembourg-based bank for the super-rich, owned by Rowland and his family.

In an astonishing conflict of interests, the Prince allowed the Rowlands to shoehorn meetings into his official trade tours so they could expand their bank and woo powerful and wealthy clients.

He also passed them private government documents they had no right to see. It can also be revealed that, at the time, Andrew co-owned a business with the Rowlands in a secretive Caribbean tax haven.

It was to be used to lure the Prince's wealthy Royal contacts to invest in a tax-free offshore fund.

One email exchange reveals that when Andrew was facing the sack from his envoy role because of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, Rowland's son and business lieutenant, Jonathan, suggested their commercial activities could continue 'under the radar'. Andrew responded: 'I like your thinking.'

The devastating revelations come as the Duke faces mounting questions about how he funds his opulent lifestyle. They follow in the wake of his car-crash TV interview about his links to Epstein, the financier and convicted sex offender who died in jail this summer while awaiting trial for trafficking underage girls.

He will face further pressure tomorrow when an interview with Virginia Roberts, one of Epstein's victims, airs on BBC1's Panorama. Ms Roberts, who now uses her married surname Giuffre, claims she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17 – although he has always strenuously denied her claims.

Last night, former MP Norman Baker called for Prince Andrew to be stripped of his HRH title following this newspaper's investigation into his business links.

And Chris Bryant, who was a Foreign Office Minister at the time Andrew held his trade envoy role, demanded a parliamentary inquiry into the Duke's business behaviour, which he called 'morally offensive'. 'It all just stinks,' said Mr Bryant. 'I don't think he has ever been able to draw a distinction between his own personal interest and the national interest. It's morally offensive. Either the Foreign Affairs Committee or the Public Accounts Committee should launch an inquiry into this.'

The scrap dealer's son who met Queen at Balmoral

By Ian Gallagher

For David 'Spotty' Rowland, a visit to Balmoral to meet the Queen in the summer of 2010 marked the peak of his social ascent.

Mr Rowland's host that day was his old friend Prince Andrew, who, having introduced him to his mother, found a secluded spot on the Deeside estate for the two men to have lunch.

Perhaps the secretive property magnate, then 65, allowed himself a moment of reflection as he drank in his surroundings.

In addition to counting Royalty among his acquaintances, he was one of the richest men in Britain and, as the Tories most generous benefactor – he once paid £20,000 for a portrait of then Prime Minister David Cameron – had just been appointed party treasurer.

For David Rowland (pictured at 26), a visit to Balmoral to meet the Queen in the summer of 2010 marked the peak of his social ascent

Not bad for a scrap metal dealer's son from South London who left school without a single qualification.

But just nine days after his Balmoral sojourn (Andrew's paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein was given a similar tour six years earlier), Mr Rowland quit before he could take up his new Tory post.

It followed media scrutiny of his business dealings and colourful private life, and fears he might tarnish the party's reputation.

Ironically, it was his links to Royalty, along with his cash, that had reassured party chiefs when doubts about his suitability first emerged.

Starting his working life as an office boy, he bought his first house at 18, sold it, bought another one, sold that and formed his own property company.

By the time he was 23, he had made his first million and he floated his company, Fordham, on the Stock Exchange a year later.

The precocious entrepreneur was dubbed 'Spotty' because of his relative youth and lingering acne – and the nickname stuck.

His business activities frequently kept him in the headlines. He was one of the first financiers to spot the potential money-making value of top soccer clubs, and was the secret figure behind the £800,000 takeover of Edinburgh Hibernian, parent company of Hibs football club in the Scottish capital, in 1987.

But the deal turned sour when the company went into receivership – after having asked thousands of fans to plough their money into the club.

In addition, he used one of his trusts to buy the upmarket estate agents Chesterton, which later also went into receivership after 200 years of trading.

His UK interests were first controlled by companies in the Bahamas and Panama before they were transferred under the aegis of family trusts to the tax haven of Guernsey, where Mr Rowland occupies the island's largest privately owned estate.

His critics speak of his vainglory, which peaked with him erecting a statue of himself outside his mansion, Havilland Hall, and unveiled by Prince Andrew. Who else?

Members of the Royal Family visiting the island have always stayed at Government House, official home of the Lieutenant Governor. On this occasion, 2005, Andrew stayed with the Rowlands. The official explanation was that 'it was going to be a late night'.

How the two men first became friends is not known, but, as with Epstein, there is a strong symbiotic element to the relationship. One friend of the Prince said: 'Rowland is like an older surrogate brother to Andrew.'

Like Epstein, Mr Rowland once came to the rescue of the Duchess of York, paying £40,000 to help clear her debts.

The two men appeared publicly together in 2009. This time it was the Duke of York's services that were required. He unveiled his friend's latest acquisition, the Luxembourg arm of an Icelandic bank he snapped up after it succumbed to the international financial crash.

It was renamed Banque Havilland after his mansion. At the time Andrew said: 'In the past I have had the pleasure to meet and work with the Rowland family in the framework of my functions and I wish the family every success in this new business venture.'

Further links surfaced in 2011 when The Mail on Sunday revealed that the two men secretly flew to Libya together when the Prince met Colonel Gaddafi.

Having built a £730 million fortune, Mr Rowland was a tax exile for more than 30 years but returned to the UK before the 2010 General Election so he could pump £2.7 million into the Tories' campaign war chest.

Jonathan Rowland, 44, the second of David's eight children from two marriages, inherited his father's entrepreneurial flair.

He left school at 16 but seized the opportunity of the dotcom boom of the late 1990s to make £42 million from an internet investment company called JellyWorks. At one point its shares rose 2,000 per cent in a few days.

He tried to repeat the success in 2011 with JellyBook. He launched the investment firm at that year's Monaco Grand Prix, chartering a 161ft yacht with Italian marble floors to schmooze clients.

The business later had to be wound down after Jonathan suffered a stroke in 2013.

David Rowland, a 74-year-old property tycoon, was a tax exile for decades and helped pay off Sarah Ferguson's huge debts.

He quit as Tory Party treasurer shortly after he was appointed in 2010 amid controversy surrounding his business affairs.

Leaked emails from Jonathan Rowland also claim Andrew was due to take a financial stake in the Rowland family bank he was secretly helping to promote.

The MoS has also learned that in August, a whistleblower personally emailed Prince Charles and warned him about his brother's troubling business links with David Rowland.

Our investigation reveals for the first time how:

· Prince Andrew had a 40 per cent stake in a firm based in the British Virgin Islands called Inverness Asset Management that was in existence until March this year;

· A document reveals that 'contacts' of the company – including Royal families, heads of state, government institutions and wealthy individuals – would be targeted as potential investors in a separate investment fund to be based in the Cayman Islands and promising a tax-free income;

· Prince Andrew allowed Jonathan Rowland to accompany him on a taxpayer-funded trade mission to China which Mr Rowland then used to plug his family's bank. The Duke invited Rowland to choose which meetings he wanted to attend;

· Rowland inserted into Andrew's China schedule a meeting with Louis Cheung, the president of Ping An, the world's largest insurance company, worth an estimated £171 billion, and proposed that they could become business partners;

· In an astonishing breach of protocol, Andrew's aide, Amanda Thirsk, handed the Rowlands a Foreign Office diplomatic cable intended only for government officials that contained details of Andrew's one-to-one conversations with senior Chinese politicians;

· On another occasion, Andrew demanded a private briefing memo from Treasury chiefs about the Icelandic financial crisis, then passed it to the Rowlands. Months earlier, they had bought part of a collapsed Icelandic bank in a £86 million deal;

· Andrew also took Jonathan Rowland on an official trade mission to Saudi Arabia where the pair met Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abulaziz al Saud, the second son of the country's current monarch. Following that meeting, Mr Rowland told the Saudi royal, via an aide, that Andrew was considering becoming a partner in his family's bank and asked him if he would like a stake in it, too;

· In one exchange of emails with the Saudi Prince, Mr Rowland boasted that he acted as a middle man not just for Prince Andrew but for the British Royal Family;

· During another taxpayer-funded trade trip, Prince Andrew lobbied the King of Bahrain about the Rowlands' plan to open an offshoot of their bank in the Middle Eastern country. He later telephoned an official to help get the potentially lucrative venture off the ground.

The devastating revelations come just weeks after Andrew was stripped of his Royal duties amid anger over his links to Epstein and his calamitous BBC interview.

There are also suggestions that Andrew may have to resign his role leading Pitch@Palace, his pet project which matches investors with tech start-up companies, after it emerged he was entitled to a two per cent share of any investment deal struck.

He says he has never taken advantage of that clause. The son of a scrap metal dealer, David Rowland, whose nickname is 'Spotty', made his first million aged 24 and went on to amass a property and investment fortune worth a reported £612 million. He and his son Jonathan are ranked 226th in the Sunday Times Rich List

Andrew and publicity-shy David Rowland have been friends since at least 2005. That year, the Prince unveiled a bronze statue of the financier in the grounds of Havilland Hall, Mr Rowland's sprawling estate in Guernsey. In 2009, Andrew publicly launched the Rowlands' bank in Luxembourg.

Bought from the ashes of a collapsed Icelandic financial institution, it was renamed Banque Havilland, after Mr Rowland's Channel Island home. It offered discreet private banking services for the world's billionaires.

Mr Rowland was invited to Balmoral as Andrew's guest in 2010 and reportedly met the Queen and had tea with Prince Charles. Four months later, Mr Rowland paid £40,000 to help clear the massive debts of the Duke's former wife Sarah Ferguson.

Last night, Norman Baker, a former MP who recently published a damning book about Royal finances, said last night: 'This is outrageous behaviour by Prince Andrew. Any Minister who behaved in this way would be summarily sacked. Even an MP who behaved in this way would face questions from the Commons Standards Committee. We have all had enough of Prince Andrew. He should have his HRH designation removed. As far as I am concerned he should be persona non grata and not be seen in any way to represent this country.'

The MoS approached Buckingham Palace with the results of our investigation last Monday, detailing 24 questions for the Duke.

Six days later, the Palace issued the following statement: 'The Duke was the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment between 2001 and July 2011 and in that time the aim, and that of his office, was to promote Britain and British interests overseas, not the interests of individuals.'

The Duke did not provide a comment for publication, and the Rowlands declined to comment for legal reasons.

A secretive Caribbean tax haven and an investment fund for the Duke of York's super rich contacts. So does this help explain how he funds his billionaire lifestyle?

Prince Andrew and his friend, the controversial property tycoon David Rowland, jointly owned a company in a secretive Caribbean tax haven

Prince Andrew and his friend, the controversial property tycoon David Rowland, jointly owned a company in a secretive Caribbean tax haven that was to be used to cash in on the Duke's Royal and political connections.

An extraordinary document, seen by The Mail on Sunday, reveals how the firm was registered in the British Virgin Islands with a plan to persuade Prince Andrew's wealthy 'contacts' to sink millions of pounds into an offshore investment fund – promising them tax-free income.

Our revelation raises troubling questions about the Prince's mysterious finances, which have come under intense scrutiny in the wake of his public humiliation over his links with Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire sex offender.

There have been questions about the source of Andrew's wealth because his only official income amounted to a £20,000-a-year Royal Navy pension and a reported £249,000 paid privately each year by the Queen to run his official office.

For a decade, the Duke of York worked full-time as Britain's roving 'trade ambassador', sent on taxpayer-funded trips aimed at encouraging foreign investment in UK companies.

The official role enabled Andrew to travel the globe, rubbing shoulders with wealthy business leaders, sprinkling his Royal stardust on influential politicians and heads of state.

Now it can be revealed that at the same time as carrying out his Government-backed duties, the Queen's second son was in business with former British tax-exile Rowland and his son Jonathan.

Worth a reported £612 million, the pair head a sprawling family business empire.

David Rowland owns the largest private estate in Guernsey, which boasts a huge bronze statue of the financier unveiled by Prince Andrew. Nicknamed 'Spotty' after becoming a millionaire by the youthful age of 24, David Rowland was once described as being 'like an older surrogate brother' to the Duke.

Nine years ago, the cigar-loving tycoon stumped up £40,000 to help pay off the vast debts of Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. The Rowlands' plan, according to a document seen by this newspaper, was to woo the super-rich contacts Andrew amassed using his Royal status into investing millions of pounds in the potentially lucrative offshore fund.

David Rowland makes no secret of the fact that he has acted as a financial adviser to Andrew. But the detailed five-page business prospectus reveals for the first time that the Prince held a 40 per cent stake in a company owned by Rowland's family business, Blackfish Capital Management.

Called Inverness Asset Management (IAM), it was registered in the British Virgin Islands, a stunning paradise playground for billionaires and one of the world's most notorious tax havens.

IAM was set up, the document says, because of the 'very long' and 'successful' relationship between 'DR [David Rowland] and HRH Prince Andrew.'

The Duke of York also enjoys the title the Earl of Inverness. The company was to target super rich investors, many of whom Andrew would have met during his globetrotting trade role and official Royal duties, and persuade them to put money into a fund structured in the Cayman Islands, another tax haven.

Only those with at least $ 1million (£775,000) to spare would be allowed to invest in the scheme called The Blackfish Money Plus+ Fund. The product was not to be sold to the 'wider public'.

The 2007 document goes on to explain a plan to exploit 'contacts of IAM, consisting of Royal Families, HNW [high net worth] families, Heads of State and Government institutions.'

The revelation that Andrew was involved in a company seeking investment into a controversial tax haven will heap more pressure on the beleaguered Prince – especially given his role between 2001 and 2011 was to promote British firms and inward investment into the UK.

Secrecy surrounding businesses' activities in the British Virgin Islands make it impossible to know if the venture ever made any money for Andrew, or if the Blackfish Money Plus+ Fund ever operated.

But The Mail on Sunday has discovered that IAM existed until March this year.

Serious questions have been raised about how Andrew funds his extravagant lifestyle after he told Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis in his damaging BBC interview last month that his tawdry association with billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had been a 'very useful' entree into a world awash with wealthy and glamorous business people.

The Prince seemed to infer that the people Epstein introduced him to could assist with his official trade role. However, it has been suggested they also had the ability to enhance his own personal business interests.

Since leaving the Royal Navy in 2001, according to reports, Andrew has leveraged his Royal status and the wealthy contacts made during the course of official work on behalf of British taxpayers to act as a facilitator, helping businessmen set up lucrative deals all over the world.

If so, the deals and the commission he earned on them have remained secret but last week were cited as an explanation as to how Andrew appears to have amassed enormous wealth.

On Sunday, in a highly unusual intervention, a friend attempted to lay to rest suggestions that Andrew had exploited his Royal status to secure multimillion pound commissions.

The friend told The Sunday Times: 'The fact is that all his wealth ultimately derives from gifts from the Queen and none of it comes from business dealings… he has never earned or expected any introduction fees or commissions for arranging or fixing business deals either while acting as a UK trade envoy or at any other point in his life.'

However, in recent years, 'Air Miles' Andy, as he has been nicknamed, has lived like a billionaire, holidaying on luxury yachts and travelling the world by helicopter and private jet.

No doubt he has enjoyed the free hospitality of some of his wealthy friends but in addition to this a total of £7.5 million has been spent refurbishing Royal Lodge, his spacious home in Windsor.

And in 2014, he and his ex-wife acquired a £13 million luxury lodge in the exclusive Swiss ski resort of Verbier. Called Chalet Helora, it has seven bedrooms, living rooms bedecked with furs and antiques, a 650 sq ft indoor swimming pool, sauna and sun terrace.

Guests have previously rented it out for £22,000 a week, and neighbouring homes are owned by Sir Richard Branson, the singer James Blunt and a host of ski-loving billionaires.

Today, Andrew boasts a collection of expensive wristwatches including several Rolexes and Cartiers, a £150,000 Patek Philippe and a £12,000 Apple Watch.

A small fleet of cars includes a new green Bentley. Quite how he has funded all this has never been clear. At the very least, his involvement in the offshore fund and his links to the mega-rich Rowlands offer yet another possible explanation.

Last night, Andrew faced criticism for his involvement in a firm in a tax haven while he was working as Britain's trade ambassador.

There have been serious concerns over the lack of transparency in the financial service sector in places such as the British Virgin Islands. Earlier this year, the Tax Justice Network pressure group ranked 64 countries based on how much tax avoidance they enabled, taking into account the size of their economies. The British Virgin Islands topped the list.

Blackfish Money Plus+ Fund

IAM is a company owned 60 per cent by Blackfish and 40 per cent by HRH Prince Andrew.

Blackfish will work with IAM marketing the funds. Introductions will largely be from contacts of

IAM, consisting of Royal Families, HNW families and Heads of State and government institutions. Income is tax free.

The proposed fund made no secret of the tax-free profits on offer. The document leaked to The Mail on Sunday says: 'Income is tax-free so far as the Fund is concerned.'

It added: 'Money Plus+ Funds will appeal to investors seeking security of capital, low risk and active management of their cash deposits.'

The document makes clear that Blackfish is looking for 'an established international bank' to become its partner in managing the fund.

As well as introducing clients, IAM would also act as a 'co-adviser' to the fund. Company records from the British Virgin Islands, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, show that Inverness Asset Management was registered in the tax haven in April 2007.

Its address was listed as a PO Box in 'Sea Meadow House' in Road Town, the capital of the BVI. The company was only dissolved in March this year.

The leaked document also shows that the Blackfish Capital Money Plus+ Fund was due to be structured in a type of company in the Cayman Islands known as a segregated portfolio company (SPC). Company records obtained by this newspaper show that five different SPCs were registered between November 2006 and March 2008 in the Cayman Islands with 'Blackfish Capital' and 'Fund' in their titles.

It is unknown, however, whether any of these included the Blackfish Money Plus+ Fund.

Chris Bryant, a former Foreign Office Minister in Gordon Brown's government, said the revelation of Andrew's stake in IAM is more damaging than the disclosure in the 2017 'Paradise Papers' that money from the Queen's private estate had been invested in a Cayman Islands fund.

'This is far more significant because it is a senior member of the Royal Family engaged in offshore shenanigans,' he said. 'The word that comes to mind is entitlement, really. Because he is a Duke, he can get away with anything.'

The Duke of York declined to provide a comment for publication. Jonathan Rowland declined to comment for legal reasons.

Duke used his position as Britain's trade envoy to help tycoon plug private bank (based in a tax haven) on official trip to China

As the Duke of York slowly walked his youngest daughter Eugenie up the aisle last year, they passed a chubby-faced, grey-haired man standing in the front row of the congregation, just yards from the nervous groom.

From his position alongside supermodel Kate Moss, David 'Spotty' Rowland leaned forward and smiled affectionately as the Princess joined Jack Brooksbank in the magnificent St George's Chapel.

Despite his prominent place, few would have recognised the diminutive tycoon. After all, Mr Rowland, 74, is notoriously publicity-shy and spent much of his professional life successfully avoiding being photographed in public. This Royal Wedding, however, was an important enough occasion for him to step out of the shadows.

Andrew's close friendship with Mr Rowland, a former tax exile for more than 30 years, was already controversial. The Mail on Sunday has previously revealed how the secretive financier helped pay off the Duchess of York's massive debts – just months after he met the Queen and Prince Charles at Balmoral – and how he and Andrew secretly flew to Libya together.

But the MoS today reveals their financial relationship goes much deeper. Our investigation exposes how the Duke used his position as Britain's trade envoy to push the business interests of Mr Rowland and his family – in particular their private bank based in the tax haven of Luxembourg.

Prince Andrew's public role as the UK's roving trade ambassador between 2001 and 2011 was a high-profile position in which he was supposed to promote British business and attract inward investment on taxpayer-funded trips overseas. But Mr Rowland's foreign bank, which manages the wealth of some of the world's super-rich, would hardly qualify as the type of enterprise that Andrew was supposed to champion.

Emails seen by this newspaper show that on one official taxpayer-funded trip to China, Andrew was accompanied by Jonathan Rowland, David's 44-year-old son and business lieutenant, and helped him target potential new wealthy clients.

Six months earlier, Andrew had opened the Rowlands' new venture – named Banque Havilland – to great fanfare. It had previously been the Luxembourg branch of Kaupthing, an Icelandic bank that collapsed amid the international financial crisis, but was rescued by the Rowland family and renamed after David's palatial home in Guernsey.

Its first annual report declared that it would offer discreet private banking for 'ultra high net worth' customers and boasted a picture of Andrew standing alongside David Rowland, its honorary president, and Jonathan, its chief executive.

The Rowlands wanted their new bank to 'attract a more affluent client base' and expand its reach 'to new locations'. The leaked emails show that an early target was the economic powerhouse of China.

Fortuitously, their good friend Prince Andrew, whose Royal status could impress potential clients and open doors, was due to visit China on an official taxpayer-funded trade envoy mission in March 2010.

The official reason for Andrew's three-day trip was to witness the signing of a $35 billion gas deal between BG Group, the British multinational oil and gas company, and the China National Overseas Oil Corporation, a huge state-owned oil firm.

Britain was still reeling from the 2008 financial crash and boosting trade with booming countries like China was vital.

With both his daughters at university, Andrew, who had been trade envoy for more than eight years, had plenty of time on his hands to help.

Senior Government officials drew up a packed schedule of meetings with some of China's top powerbrokers. But while they were putting the finishing touches to the crucial trade mission, Amanda Thirsk, Andrew's then deputy private secretary, was busy organising Jonathan Rowland's involvement in the trip.

The email chain shows how Ms Thirsk sent the Duke his itinerary on March 10 – a fortnight before the visit. Extraordinarily, the next day Andrew forwarded the schedule to Jonathan Rowland and asked which events he wished to attend.

'This is my outline programme for China,' he said. 'Which events do you need to be at? Can you let Amanda know as we would just need to alert them to you coming.'

Mr Rowland replied that he would 'like to come to everything you let me come to'.

'If it [is] not relevant for our business I will sit quietly and if it's not possible I will not join. Leave it to you guys to decide,' he added.

But, in fact, that wasn't enough for the Rowlands.

In another jaw-dropping message, Jonathan Rowland emailed Ms Thirsk with a proposal. He asked for a meeting with a major Chinese company to be inserted into Andrew's schedule – and suggested that it could prove profitable for the Duke.

'I wanted to invite Louis Cheung CEO of Ping An insurance to meet with myself and the Duke for an hour on the trip.

'Is their [sic] a slot available as he will travel from Shenzhen. Ping An is the largest insurance company in China and a good partner for all of us going forward.'

Although not a household name in the UK, Ping An is now the world's largest insurance company, according to Forbes, the American business magazine, worth an estimated £171 billion.

It is the world's seventh biggest public company – one place behind US tech giant Apple – and its headquarters in the city of Shenzhen is housed in the world's fourth highest skyscraper, 961ft taller than The Shard in London.

Mr Rowland's request for a Royal audience with Ping An's boss didn't come out of the blue. The leaked emails reveal that six weeks earlier, Jonathan Rowland had not only met Louis Cheung but had begun to lay the groundwork for a meeting with Prince Andrew.

They met at an event in Shenzhen on February 8, 2010, and Mr Rowland followed up their encounter with an email in which he ambitiously pitched for business.

'We recently acquired a Bank in Luxembourg and renamed it Banque Havilland SA. Our focus is on private banking and wealth management with a global footprint and client base,' he wrote, attaching to the email a 'simple presentation' about the bank.

'I would like to explore ways of working with Ping An in the future and would like to invite you to meet with me and HRH Prince Andrew in Beijing in March.

'The Rowland family are the exclusive adviser to HRH and all his business interests and investments. Ping An could potentially be a partner for our Private Banking activities in China and we could easily find a way to assist you with operations or transactions in the Middle East and Europe.'

The email, which was not copied to Prince Andrew, also highlighted how the bank had a 'significant joint venture' in Abu Dhabi and 'relationships with all the Royal Families in the region for over 20 years'.

Back in London, Amanda Thirsk agreed to find time for a meeting between Mr Rowland, the Duke and Mr Cheung – despite Andrew's packed schedule.

'That should be fine,' she wrote to Jonathan Rowland on March 15. 'Am expecting a re-draft of the programme from Beijing tomorrow so will give you a slot based on that.' After being offered several choices, Mr Rowland opted for lunch at a hotel in Beijing on Wednesday, March 24.

Prince Andrew and Ms Thirsk flew out in a chartered jet from Farnborough airport on March 23, arriving in Beijing the following morning. Emails between Ms Thirsk and Mr Rowland show he was due to arrive in the city the same morning, possibly flying in with the Duke.

The Court Circular, Buckingham Palace's official list of Royal engagements, shows that one of the Duke's first appointments on March 24 was with Mr Cheung, 55, who had been Ping An's president since 2003. Intriguingly, it omits to say whether Mr Rowland attended – but an email seen by the MoS suggests he did.

'It was good to see you in Beijing with HRH 2 weeks ago,' Mr Rowland said in a message to Mr Cheung on April 7.

'He was very impressed by your insight into China and the rest of the world and is keen to keep contact with you through me. Let's keep in touch and start to plan the ideas we discussed.'

The meeting was held in one of Beijing's two glitzy Ritz-Carlton hotels, although the Court Circular does not reveal which one. Either would have been a suitable venue for the then fourth-in-line to the Throne: the five-star Ritz-Carlton, Beijing, boasts a £7,700-a-night presidential suite, while its sister hotel in the city's Financial District has a huge luxury spa and an 18th floor lounge with spectacular views of the city.

They also met our ambassador – a privilege enjoyed only by a select few

The emails expose an extraordinary conflict of interest in which the Duke leveraged his position as this country's trade envoy to act as a facilitator for the Rowlands.

They are also bound to raise questions over whether Prince Andrew stood to personally gain financially from Banque Havilland's expanded operations.

Helped by this key meeting, Mr Rowland was now on first-name terms and in regular email contact with one of China's most powerful businessmen. By November 2011, the pair had struck up a friendly enough relationship for Mr Rowland to ask Mr Cheung whether he was available to 'catch up for a beer?' in Hong Kong. 'No pressure just saying hello,' he added.

Meanwhile, Andrew helped Mr Rowland make another influential contact during the trip.

The emails show how the banker was introduced to Gao Xiqing, president, vice-chairman and chief investment officer of the China Investment Corporation (CIC) – a huge sovereign wealth fund which was established in 2007 to manage China's vast foreign exchange reserves. A massive global investor, it has assets of more than $940 billion and owns ten per cent of Heathrow Airport.

In an email sent later in the year to Mr Xiqing, which was not copied to Prince Andrew, Jonathan Rowland gave the impression that his family offered financial advice to the entire British Royal Family.

'We met with HRH Prince Andrew earlier this year,' Mr Rowland reminded Mr Xiqing, in an email sent in October 2010. 'As you may remember our family act, as well as for others, as financial advisor to the British Royal Family, in particular Prince Andrew...

'Through our bank in Luxembourg we are very active at the moment in private banking for some Chinese nationals and corporations.'

The Court Circular shows that the Duke of York met Mr Xiqing in Beijing on the morning of March 25. An email seen by this paper also shows that Ms Thirsk told Mr Rowland that the Duke was happy for him to join five 'non official events', which included a 'CIC Call' on March 25.

Royal accounts show the cost to the taxpayer of Andrew's charter flight to China – and then on to the United Arab Emirates for a day, where he attended the Dubai World Cup horse race – was £23,586. The trip cost UK Trade and Investment, a Government department, an extra £7,700.

But for Andrew's friends, the Rowlands, the visit appears to have been worth it – opening doors and helping them forge potentially important business relationships.

Seven months later, in October 2010, Jonathan Rowland, this time accompanied by his father, returned to China. A flurry of emails in the days before the trip showed how Jonathan arranged a new round of meetings with some of the influential contacts he had met in March.

A leaked schedule of their visit reveals that the pair secured dinner with Ping An's boss Louis Cheung in Shenzhen and lunch with the 'Chairman of CIC' in Beijing. They also landed a meeting with Sebastian Wood, Britain's ambassador to China, in his grand residence in Beijing – a privilege enjoyed by only a select few British businessmen visiting the city.

'Very happy to get together,' Mr Wood wrote to Jonathan Rowland. 'Would you and your father like to come over [to] the Residence for coffee or tea?'

But there was also another social engagement to arrange. On the afternoon of October 17, Prince Andrew arrived in Hong Kong to kick off another trade envoy trip to the Far East – just seven months after his last. Perhaps understandably after a draining 12-hour flight, the Court Circular did not list any engagements for the Duke on the day he arrived.

The leaked emails do, however, reveal that the Duke had one appointment scheduled that night: dinner with David and Jonathan Rowland.

Tycoon Jonathan Rowland told Arab prince he was trying to lure as an investor: 'We advise HRH exclusively on all business matters..and often act as an intermediary for the Royal Family'

On a hot Arabian night, the Red Sea sparkled silver as a mile-wide firework display lit up the sky. For the King of Saudi Arabia, the lavish opening ceremony of a new science and technology university in Jeddah was the culmination of a 25-year dream. King Abdullah's hope was that the research centre would become a beacon of tolerance in the troubled Middle East.

Prince Andrew, who watched the dazzling pyrotechnics from VIP seats, had less lofty aspirations. As Britain's trade envoy, he was leading a delegation of more than 20 vice-chancellors from UK universities, as well as representing the Queen. The event was a good opportunity for Britain to further its relationship with the oil-rich kingdom.

But surrounded by foreign royals and dignitaries, the trip was also an opportunity for the Duke to push the commercial interests of his business partners, David and Jonathan Rowland. An astonishing chain of leaked emails seen by this newspaper reveal a controversial blurring of his public duties and private interests on the trip, as he lobbied the King of Bahrain on behalf of his friends.

+14

It was just one part of a push by the Duke to help the Rowlands fulfil their plan of launching a Middle Eastern banking operation – one which the emails show Andrew was due to have a stake in. The Duke had been working with the Rowlands for several years. Publicly, the pair were described as his financial advisers.

In July 2009, the Rowlands had bought a private bank, Banque Havilland, and were planning to expand its activities to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Andrew would only be in Saudi Arabia for two days – but it was enough time to pull strings.

Buckingham Palace's Court Circular shows that the Duke arrived in Jeddah on September 22, 2009, for the launch of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. There he rubbed shoulders with world leaders, including Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad.

As luck would have it, the King of Bahrain was among the guests. Whether he and Andrew talked at the ceremony, or held a more formal meeting elsewhere, is unclear. Either way, the Duke found a way to engage the King in a discussion about the Rowlands' plans.

This was an extraordinary move: lobbying foreign monarchs on behalf of his own business associates was certainly not part of his remit as UK trade envoy, or as a senior member of the Royal Family on a taxpayer-funded trip.

Banque Havilland was an odd choice of a business to champion. Established in Luxembourg, another tax haven, the bank was unapologetic about its aim of managing the wealth of 'ultra-high net worth' billionaires.

+14

The bank only established a London branch in 2013, while David Rowland had been a tax exile for much of his business career until returning to London in 2009. Before flying home, Andrew picked up the phone to a former aide, now conveniently a senior official at the Bahrain Economic Development Board, and told him what the Rowlands wanted.

During his conversation with Steve Harrison, his former deputy private secretary, Andrew let it be known that he had personally discussed the issue with Bahrain's King. This was enough of a steer for Mr Harrison to get the ball rolling. Soon he was emailing Jonathan Rowland volunteering his services.

'The Duke of York telephoned me from Saudi Arabia last week to relay a conversation that he had with His Majesty The King of Bahrain in Jeddah about opening an office here,' he wrote. 'That news has not filtered down to me from the Royal Court, but I am obviously keen to ensure you get the best possible service here, including the type of licence that best suits your intended operations.'

Attached to his email to Jonathan Rowland was a helpful copy of the Central Bank of Bahrain's 'online rulebook' and a register of rival foreign financial houses in the region.

Mr Harrison also included a crib sheet about the different types of bank licences available, adding he would be happy to arrange a meeting with the relevant regulator. On October 14, 2009, Rowland replied to Harrison suggesting he and his father 'swing by' Bahrain and meet royal aides. Although he did not copy the Duke into his response, he claimed Prince Andrew was 'facilitating' the whole project.

'We would be keen to pursue an office for Banque Havilland in Bahrain facilitated by both HRH and his Majesty. We are due in Abu Dhabi on 28th-2nd November. Maybe we could swing by Bahrain and meet with the regulator and the King's people and get the ball rolling?'

The Rowlands' ambitions did not stop in Bahrain. They were also eager to pursue opportunities in Saudi Arabia and wanted Prince Andrew on the case. Two months later Andrew would be back in the Middle East. This time, there was no big state occasion to attend, instead a key focus of the trip would be to help the Rowlands – and Jonathan Rowland was invited to attend.

The leaked email trail about the visit begins on October 14. Jonathan Rowland emailed senior Saudi government official Amr Al-Dabbagh, chairman of the Board of Directors at the powerful Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA), proposing they get together.

Under the subject line 'Duke of York', Jonathan Rowland wrote: 'Amr. Hope you are well. After having spoken with the DOY he suggested we get together to discuss our newly acquired bank in Luxembourg investing in Saudi Arabia and in particular opening a branch/representative office in Riyadh.

Pictured: Conversations between Jonathan Rowland, Prince Sultan bin Salman and the King of Bahrain's advisor

'We would be keen also to discuss possible [sic] applying for an Investment Banking License. Can you propose a convenient time for us to do so? We are due to be in Abu Dhabi at the F1 race and Bahrain afterwards if that is of any use?'

Mr Al-Dabbagh replied a few days later, eager to help. In the fortnight that followed, there were various attempts to co-ordinate diaries, taking Prince Andrew's schedule as a starting point.

When it became clear that tying it in with the trip to Abu Dhabi for the Grand Prix was not going to work out, Jonathan Rowland proposed an alternative date.

Emphasising the Duke's involvement, he told Mr Al-Dabbagh: 'My father and I met with the Duke last night for dinner and he had given us a date 14-15 November to visit you together rather than after F1. Does this work for you? He will contact you direct but I am pre-empting that.'

This did the trick. Excitedly, the Rowlands began making arrangements to fly to Saudi on November 14, using the Prince's deputy private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, to do some of their legwork.

Aide forced out over Newsnight interview leaked sensitive papers

One of Prince Andrew's most senior aides leaked a diplomatic telegram to his close friend and business associate, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

In an astonishing breach of protocol, Amanda Thirsk forwarded Jonathan Rowland a Foreign Office cable that included details of one-to-one conversations between the Duke and leading Chinese politicians about UK-China trade relations.

She emailed the telegram after Mr Rowland accompanied Andrew on a taxpayer-funded trade mission to China and used his extraordinary access to try to land lucrative new clients for the foreign bank his family owned.

Pictured: Amanda Thirsk in 2016

The revelation will heap pressure on Ms Thirsk, who was blamed for orchestrating Andrew's disastrous BBC interview about his links with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

A formidable ex-banker, Ms Thirsk lost her job as the Duke's private secretary in the wake of his catastrophic media appearance. She will continue to run Pitch, Andrew's business mentoring initiative.

Leaked documents show that on April 27, 2010, Ms Thirsk, then Andrew's deputy private secretary, forwarded Jonathan Rowland an unclassified but 'sensitive' diplomatic cable written by Sebastian Wood, the UK's ambassador to China.

Mr Wood had sent the telegram almost a month earlier to London via the Foreign Office's secure 'e-Gram' messaging system.

It had been written for other diplomats plus officials at the Treasury and UK Trade and Investment, the Government body which oversaw the Duke of York's trade envoy work.

The cable was a report on Andrew's three-day trade mission to China in March 2010, detailing face-to-face talks which had been arranged with Wang Qishan, China's vice premier, and Chen Deming, the commerce minister.

It also reported that Andrew used the trip to introduce a business associate to the China Investment Corporation – a giant Chinese sovereign wealth fund.

'He called privately on the Deputy Chairman of the China Investment Corporation to introduce a British business acquaintance,' Wood wrote.

It outlined how Andrew raised the concerns of British firms about the 'business environment' in China and discussed how the UK Government wanted more Chinese companies to list on the London Stock Exchange.

The cable also detailed a tetchy lunch between the Duke and Fu Ying, vice minister for foreign affairs and China's former ambassador to the UK.

Thirsk, 54, has been fiercely loyal to the Duke for 15 years and headed his all-woman inner circle of advisers and aides dubbed 'Andy's Angels'.

The mother of three was taken on in 2004 as his 'office controller' and became his private secretary – or gatekeeper – in 2012.

Charles Crawford, a former UK ambassador to Poland, said: 'Anyone in the system, including members of the Royal Household, knows perfectly well not to share official documents outside the system – and sometimes with people within the system – unless there's a very good reason to do it. Then they should think hard about how they share it.

'It's your job to be careful. The Foreign Office has the famous unnamed newspaper common sense test: if this e-document I am pressing Send on appears splashed in the newspaper, will it create a ghastly mess?

'Someone here may have failed that simple test.'

On November 11, a senior SAGIA official wrote to her, enclosing details of the bank licensing process in Saudi Arabia 'to pass to the Banque Havilland Team'.

'Would you please let us know when on the 15th His Royal Highness, the Duke of York, and the Banque Havilland team would like to meet?' the official asked.

Thirsk, who became the Duke's private secretary in 2012 but who is now switching roles following his disastrous BBC interview, forwarded the message 'in confidence' to Margaret Morrow, one of the team at Banque Havilland. Ms Morrow sent it on to her boss, Jonathan Rowland, suggesting he tell Ms Thirsk 'what she needs to do'.

The Prince arrived at Riyadh International Airport on the evening of November 14, 2009. The exact nature of his visit remains ambiguous. In December 2010, the Government produced a list of the Duke's overseas trade envoy trips which had been undertaken 'in agreement with and in support of' government objectives. This trip was not on that list.

And yet Buckingham Palace's Court Circular, which is approved by the Queen, records the Prince arrived in Riyadh in his role as the UK's 'Special Representative for International Trade and Investment' – his official trade envoy title. Whatever the status of his trip, the Duke had pressing business. On the morning of November 15, he attended a meeting with representatives of SAGIA – just as had been planned.

Afterwards, Al-Dabbagh wrote to Jonathan Rowland saying it had been a pleasure to host his 'delegation' and that he was looking forward to working together. He made clear the Rowland's bank licence application would be fast-tracked.

'I… expect a robust execution to be developed by my team to ensure we move ahead as fast as you would like to – on licensing and on mutually beneficial investment strategies,' he told Rowland.

Thanks to the Duke, the Rowlands were well on their way to opening a branch of their new bank in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. But the trip also offered another golden opportunity for the Rowlands' business. What if the Duke could persuade a Saudi royal to become a partner in the venture?

The evening after the SAGIA meeting, Andrew fortuitously had dinner with one of the more charismatic members of the Saudi royal family: Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud.

A former air force pilot, Prince Sultan is the second son of the current King Salman. Prince Sultan was the first Arab and Muslim to fly in space, when he joined the crew of the Nasa space shuttle Discovery in 1985. But it was as the kingdom's then tourism chief that he hosted Andrew. It is unclear whether Jonathan Rowland also attended, but the leaked emails make clear he did meet Prince Sultan during the two-day trip.

Following the trip, on November 24, 2009, Jonathan Rowland emailed Prince Sultan, stating that Prince Andrew had personally suggested the Saudi Prince become a business 'partner' in a planned expansion of Banque Havilland. In the message, Rowland claimed that both Andrew and the Saudi Prince would be actively involved in the bank's proposed new operation.

'It was a pleasure meeting you in Riyadh last week with HRH Prince Andrew. As I briefly mentioned we recently acquired a bank in Luxembourg to add to our Family office and we will be looking to expand into KSA [Kingdom of Saudi Arabia]. HRH suggested that you might like to become our partner in KSA, and like him, have an involvement in the operation we create,' he wrote.

While Saudi Arabia had long been a defence and trade ally of the UK, the regime's questionable human rights record made diplomatic relations delicate. A private business relationship involving the Queen's son and a member of the Saudi Royal Family would be hugely controversial.

As he continued with his pitch, Jonathan Rowland made another striking claim: not only did the Rowlands represent Andrew, he said, they also represented the wider British Royal Family.

'The Rowland Family has been investing globally for 45 years through my Father and more recently myself and our offices in London, Guernsey and Luxembourg. We advise HRH exclusively on all his business matters and travel with him regularly and often act as an intermediary between the British Royal Family and other families around the World including Royal families and heads of state,' he wrote.

In the run-up to Christmas, Rowland continued to pursue the business opportunity. In a further comment, he proposed that Andrew could have a stake in the proposed new banking business. In an email to one of Prince Sultan's aides, he suggested the 'three families' – the British Royals, Prince Sultan's family, and the Rowlands – could work together around the world.

'As I mentioned… we are keen to expand our banking activities into Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. To this extent our thoughts/proposals are that His Royal Highness [Prince Sultan] considers becoming an equity partner in the subsidiary in Bahrain/Saudi Arabia (as is the HRH the Duke of York) and the three families work together in the region.'

In a final push, Rowland emphasised how valuable it was to have the Queen's son on board. 'With our close links to HRH DOY we have many opportunities and possibilities other institutions/families are unable to execute,' he wrote.

Duke and his close friend Jonathan Rowland discussed secretly continuing business relationship 'under the radar' to escape media scrutiny, leaked messages reveal

Prince Andrew and his friend Jonathan Rowland discussed secretly continuing their controversial business relationship 'under the radar' to escape media scrutiny.

Leaked messages reveal Andrew and Rowland discussed how the Duke would be free to act 'without much accountability' if public pressure over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal forced him to quit his role as the UK's trade envoy.

The revelations might leave some wondering how the Prince might conduct his affairs now he has effectively been sacked from public duties by the Queen.

Earlier this month the Duke, 59, was ditched as patron of a string of charities and organisations, and his cherished Pitch@Palace business project was kicked out of its offices at Buckingham Palace.

In February 2011, Andrew was again in the eye of a media storm after this newspaper revealed, for the first time, the now infamous picture of him with his arm around the bare waist of Virginia Roberts, a victim of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Two weeks later, the MoS revealed that Jonathan Rowland's father David had secretly helped pay off the Duchess of York's debts. The exposé put the close ties between the Duke and the Rowlands under the spotlight.

Questions were raised about why Andrew had opened their private bank in Luxembourg. For the notoriously publicity-shy Rowlands, being dragged into the controversy that surrounded Andrew was an uncomfortable experience.

'It never ends!!,' an exasperated Jonathan Rowland wrote to the Duke in March 2011. 'I had Mail and Telegraph on all day. Just read the stories doesn't seem too bad all things considered. Told them you attended bank as Trade Envoy supporting a British owned business.'

'Thank you,' replied Andrew. 'There is a real case of vindictiveness in this and I'm sorry for causing you trouble.'

There was no question, however, of the Rowlands cutting ties with their influential friend. 'Don't worry we are behind you,' Mr Rowland wrote. 'We just need to reinvent the relationship to circumvent these idiots.'

Later, the Duke asked Mr Rowland's advice for how he should handle the continuing controversy. His friend offered two suggestions, the first of which was standard advice for handling a crisis.

'Lay low for a while carry on with less engagements and slowly build the profile back up,' he wrote. 'Avoid difficult people for a bit, we can always take messages, and play straight.'

His second idea, however, was less conventional: 'Or you could put your Trade position to a national vote, you would win, and then carry on as normal as you have a public mandate.

'If it goes wrong you resign and we carry on completely under the radar of everybody because nobody would be able to criticise you any more.' He added: 'The second option has some appeal as you could do really want [sic] you want without much accountability.'

An enthusiastic Andrew replied: 'I like your thinking!'

Four months later, Buckingham Palace announced Andrew was stepping down as trade envoy. His links to Epstein had been the latest, and most damaging, in a long list of controversies that had dogged him since taking up the role in 2001.

Duke of York passed a Treasury document about the Icelandic financial crisis to business tycoon whose family had just bought part of a collapsed Icelandic bank

The Duke of York passed a Treasury document about the Icelandic financial crisis to Jonathan Rowland, whose family months earlier had bought part of a collapsed Icelandic bank.

Leaked emails reveal how Andrew requested a private briefing about the Labour Government's bid to reclaim a £2.3 billion debt owed by Iceland following online bank Icesave's collapse. The emails show that two hours after receiving the document, which was drawn up by one of Chancellor Alistair Darling's key officials, Andrew forwarded it to Mr Rowland – and suggested that he waited before making his 'move'.

The revelation shows how, thanks to their close relationship with Andrew, the Rowlands were granted extraordinary insight into the thinking of the Government's top decision-makers.

The Duke of York passed a Treasury document about the Icelandic financial crisis to Jonathan Rowland

The implosion of Iceland's banking system in October 2008 hit 230,000 Britons who had savings in Icesave, part of collapsed bank Landsbanki. Under a deal agreed in 2009, Iceland was to pay the UK £2.3 billion by 2024. Icelanders opposed the deal, rejecting it in a referendum in March 2010.

The leaked emails reveal that a month before polling day, Amanda Thirsk, the Duke's deputy private secretary, emailed a top Treasury official asking for an update.

'Basically, the Duke of York met with the Prime Minister of Iceland at Davos and would very much like to receive an update note on the latest position,' she wrote in an email to Michael Ellam, the Treasury's director general of international finance. Mr Ellam passed the request to Sophie Dean, Mr Darling's private secretary.

The Treasury sent the completed document on February 15 and Ms Thirsk forwarded it to the Duke.

But the leaked emails show that Andrew then sent the document to Jonathan Rowland that afternoon, writing: 'Amanda is getting signals we should allow the democratic process [to] happen before you make your move.' Nigel Mills, of the Public Accounts Committee, said: 'The Treasury isn't there to provide private briefings. It is an abuse of position.'

Epstein scandal engulfs Britain’s Royal family after BBC interview with Prince Andrew

An attempt at damage limitation by the palace and the BBC has backfired in spectacular fashion. Prince Andrew’s Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis sought to refute allegations that his relations with deceased billionaire sex offender and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein included having paid sex with an underage girl. But his answers were met with widespread derision and demands that the Duke of York go to the United States to testify under oath.

Epstein was at the centre of an elite social circle and procured women and underage girls for sexual abuse by himself and others. The prince maintained his relations with Epstein long after he was convicted for his crimes.

In 2008, Epstein served 13 months for

procuring an underage girl for prostitution and

of soliciting a prostitute. A three-year

investigation had identified 36 girls, some as

young as 14 years old, he had sexually

abused.

Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges

for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died

in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. Ruled as a suicide, Epstein’s

lawyers and many others have alleged that he was assassinated

to protect his friends in high places—including the Duke of York.

Andrew’s friendship with Epstein was close and even involved arranging for him to pay off the debts of his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York.

In January, Virginia Roberts, now with the married name Giuffre, alleged in a court case that Andrew, “a former prime minister” and lawyer Alan Dershowitz had sex with her while she was a teenager. Epstein had paid her £10,000 to have sex with the Duke on three occasions, including during a trip to London in 2001, when she was 17, in New York and on a private Caribbean island.

Flight logs confirmed that Andrew and Roberts/Giuffre were in all the places she alleges sex happened. There is a photo of him with his arm around her waist taken at the London flat of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s alleged “madam” and a friend of Prince Andrew. A second girl, Joanna Sjoberg, alleges that Andrew touched her breast while seated with Roberts in Epstein’s mansion.

In August 2019, the New Republic magazine published an email exchange between Epstein associate John Brockman and journalist Evgeny Morozov from September 2013, in which Brockman mentions seeing a British man named “Andy” receiving a foot massage from two young Russian women at Epstein’s New York mansion in 2010. He later “realized that the recipient” of the foot massage “was His Royal Highness, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.”

Pilot David Rodgers claims the prince was a passenger on flights with the financier and Roberts/Giuffre, including to the US Virgin Islands on April 11, 2001.

Last month the right-wing website Project Veritas published a leaked video, revealing that ABC News had suppressed reports of Epstein’s sex-trafficking for three years, with Breaking News anchor and Good Morning America co-host Amy Robach stating off-camera, “Then the Palace found out we had [Roberts/Giuffre] whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so worried that we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate [Middleton] and Will [Prince William], that also quashed the story.”

This was the background to the November 16 Maitlis interview, recorded in Buckingham Palace November 14.

To give a flavour of the painful episode, Andrew said he first met Epstein in 1999 through his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of the deceased and disgraced media tycoon Robert Maxwell. He had maintained relations only because he wanted to learn more about the “international business world” in his capacity as a special representative for international trade and investment. Epstein had attended Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday at Windsor Castle in July 2006, but only as Maxwell’s “plus one.” Beatrice is Andrew’s daughter.

Andrew had broken contact with Epstein after his initial conviction, until December 2010, when he visited the financier just four months after he had completed his prison sentence. The duke claimed he had only done so to (again) break off relations. He had considered speaking to Epstein by telephone but decided to meet him face-to-face “to show leadership.”

Asked why he had then stayed at Epstein’s mansion and attended a dinner party, Andrew said, “It was a convenient place to stay… with the benefit of all the hindsight that one can have it was definitely the wrong thing to do but at the time I felt it was the honourable and right thing to do.

“I admit fully my judgement was probably coloured by my tendency to be too honourable,” he added.

Asking about the alleged sexual encounter with Roberts/Giuffre, Maitlis said, “She says she met you in 2001, she says she dined with you, danced with you at Tramp Nightclub in London. She went on to have sex with you in a house in Belgravia belonging to Ghislaine Maxwell, your friend. Your response?”

Andrew replied: “I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”

Roberts/Giuffre’s accusations were “very specific,” Maitlis said, including that the prince had been “profusely sweating.” He replied that “I didn’t sweat at the time because I had suffered what I would describe as an overdose of adrenalin in the Falklands War when I was shot at and I simply… it was almost impossible for me to sweat.” He had only started to be able to sweat again “in the recent past.”

“Nobody can prove whether or not that photograph has been doctored but I don’t recollect that photograph ever being taken,” he said. He had never been upstairs at Maxwell’s Belgravia flat and “when I go out in London, I wear a suit and a tie.” He was shown with his hand on her waist, but “I am not one to, as it were, hug.”

Most importantly, the day that his encounter with Roberts/Giuffre was meant to have taken place, March 10, 2001, he was “at home with the children.” He had taken Princess Beatrice to a party at a Pizza Express restaurant in Woking at about 4 or 5 p.m., “And then because the Duchess was away, we have a simple rule in the family that when one is away the other one is there.”

“Going to Pizza Express in Woking is an unusual thing for me to do,” he said. “I remember it weirdly distinctly.”

He never suspected Epstein’s criminal behaviour or saw anything unusual about the large number of guests at what have been alleged to be orgies. “I live in an institution at Buckingham Palace which has members of staff walking around all the time and I don’t wish to appear grand but there were a lot of people who were walking around Jeffrey Epstein’s house. As far as I was aware, they were staff.”

Andrew still did not regret being friends with Epstein. Knowing Epstein had “some seriously beneficial outcomes… The people that I met and the opportunities that I was given to learn, either by him or because of him, were actually very useful.”

Maitlis closed the interview by asking, “Would you be willing to testify or give a statement under oath if you were asked?” He replied, “If push came to shove and the legal advice was to do so, then I would be duty bound to do so.”

This may yet prove to be the most damaging statement made by the prince. Lawyers representing 10 of Epstein’s victims have demanded that he now speak to the FBI.

Gloria Allred, representing five of Epstein’s victims, told the Guardian, “The right and honourable action for Prince Andrew to take now is for him to volunteer to be interviewed by the FBI and prosecutors for the southern district of New York.”

Lisa Bloom, who represents another five victims, said that some of the prince’s answers were “simply not credible.”

Anna Rothwell, from criminal law firm Corker Binning, said, “Prince Andrew is not entitled to any form of immunity by virtue of his position as a member of the royal family. His friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is under investigation by the FBI and he is vulnerable to extradition.”

ABC News is facing difficult questions Tuesday over anchor Amy Robach’s hot mic complaints that the network killed her investigative story about Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged trafficking of underaged “sex slaves” and his circle of rich and powerful friends, including Prince Andrew.

But ABC is not the only institution that’s been embarrassed by the leaked video clip of Robach, which was released by the right-wing group Project Veritas.

The British royal family will once again face questions and backlash over Andrew’s decade-long association with Epstein. That’s because Robach said “the palace” — presumably Buckingham Palace — put pressure on the network to suppress the story.

Robach said the story was to include a 2015 interview with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s alleged “sex slaves.” Giuffre, 35, has claimed in a lawsuit and in interviews that she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times in 2001 when she was 17.

Robach said the palace threatened to deny the network interviews with star royals, like Prince William and Kate Middleton, if it aired her report.

“I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts … we would not put it on the air,” Robach said on camera. “First of all, I was told ‘Who’s Jeffrey Epstein?’ … Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways.”

“We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate and Will that this also quashed the story,” Robach continued. She added that attorney Alan Dershowitz also pressured ABC to kill the story.

On Tuesday, ABC scrambled to address Robach’s complaints. The video was recorded in late August in the network’s Times Square studio, the Associated Press reported. Project Veritas said the video came from “an ABC insider.”

In a statement to the Associated Press, ABC said it did not air Giuffre’s interview three years ago because it did not meet the network’s standards and because it lacked sufficient corroborating evidence. But ABC insisted that the network “never stopped investigating the story” and is preparing a two-hour documentary and six-part podcast on Epstein to air in the new year.

Robach, who co-anchors “20/20” and reports for “Good Morning America,” attempted to walk back from her on-camera complaints. In a statement, she said she was “caught in a private moment of frustration” because her story never aired. She agreed that the story didn’t meet the network’s standards in 2015.

“The interview itself, while I was disappointed it didn’t air, didn’t meet our standards,” Robach said in her statement. “In the years since no one ever told me or the team to stop reporting on Jeffrey Epstein, and we have continued to aggressively pursue this important story.”

But in the video, Robach expressed confidence that the network had corroborating evidence. She also was visibly exasperated as she said, “I tried for three years to get (the interview) on to no avail and now it’s coming out and it’s like these ‘new revelations’ and I freaking had all of it.”

Robach is likely referring to revelations that have emerged since Epstein’s Aug. 10 death in a Manhattan jail where he was being held on new sex trafficking allegations.

The New York City Medical Examiner has ruled Epstein’s death a suicide and has rejected a statement last week by a former New York City medical examiner that findings in Epstein’s autopsy were “more consistent” with homicide. In the video, Robach expressed confidence that Epstein’s death was a murder, not a suicide.

The controversy over Epstein’s death inspired the hashtags #EpsteinSuicideCoverUp and #EpsteinCoverup, the latter of which Project Veritas promoted in its Tuesday tweets about the Robach clip.

According to the Associated Press, Project Veritas is known for its efforts to try and embarrass mainstream media outlets, often sending undercover reporters to catch employees making statements that display an anti-conservative bent.

But AP noted that it needed no such help with the Robach video, which also raised comparisons to reporter Ronan Farrow’s accusations that NBC News discouraged his reporting on Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct. After Farrow took his story to the New Yorker magazine, the Weinstein revelations helped spark the #MeToo movement.

In an interview with NPR in August, Giuffre talked about her 2015 interview with ABC and expressed confusion about it never aired. NPR reported that ABC never explained its editorial reasons for not airing the interview.

“I viewed the ABC interview as a potential game changer,” she said. “Appearing on ABC with its wide viewership would have been the first time for me to speak out against the government for basically looking the other way and to describe the anger and betrayal victims felt.”

The release of the video clip comes as Andrew, 59, has faced intensified scrutiny over his friendship with Epstein. David Boies, an attorney representing Guiffre, told Vanity Fair in July that the royal family has actively worked to “discredit” her allegations against Andrew, who is said to be the queen’s favorite son.

Vanity Fair also reported that Andrew’s situation could have been a factor in the lenient plea deal and 13-month jail sentence Epstein received in 2008, when he originally was charged with sexual abuse of minors.

There is speculation that the deal, crafted by former federal prosecutor Alex Acosta (who resigned as Donald Trump’s labor secretary) was at least in part designed to help protect Andrew, Vanity Fair said. According to one theory, George W. Bush’s White House directed Acosta not to prosecute Epstein to protect Andrew on behalf of the British government, then the U.S.’s closest ally in the Iraq war.

Andrew and Buckingham Palace have repeatedly denied he had sex with Guiffre or that he knew of Epstein’s illegal activities.

Buckingham palace also declined to directly address claims Robach made in the video about the royal family putting pressure on ABC. In a statement to People magazine, a spokesperson only said, “This is a matter for ABC.”

Buckingham Palace also has tried to downplay his friendship with Epstein, which Andrew said ended in 2010 when he last visited Epstein at his Manhattan mansion.

During that December 2010 visit, Andrew and Epstein were photographed walking together in Central Park. Reports also say the prince enjoyed the financier’s lavish hospitality, including an intimate dinner party thrown in his honor with such media celebrities as ABC TV anchor George Stephanopoulos, as well as Katie Couric and Charlie Rose.

Documentary: Prince Andrew Took Part in Jeffrey Epstein’s Orgy with Nine Underage Girls

A documentary that aired in the United Kingdom on Monday includes claims that Prince Andrew and the now-dead sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein took part in an orgy with nine underage girls on Epstein’s private-island estate.

The New York Post reported on the latest Epstein-related scandal to hit the royal family:

While the royal long dubbed “Randy Andy” has strenuously denied being involved in his friend’s sex ring, the salacious details already leaking from “The Prince and the Pedophile” have only intensified the spotlight on the friendship that Andrew has admitted was a “mistake and an error.”

The special by Channel 4’s “Dispatches” is taking a deep dive into the pair’s close ties — including the claims in 2015 court papers that they had group sex on Epstein’s so-called “orgy island” of Little St James, according to the Times of London.

“The third time I had sex with Andy was in an orgy on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands. I was around 18 at the time,” longtime accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre wrote in the Florida court docs.

“Epstein, Andy, approximately eight other young girls and I had sex together,” Giuffre said in the Post article. “The other girls all seemed and appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn’t really speak English.”

“Epstein laughed about the fact they couldn’t really communicate, saying that they are the ‘easiest’ girls to get along with,” Giuffre said.

“‘Dispatches’ will prove Andrew met Epstein at least 10 times during their 12-year friendship and the royal sometimes stayed with him for several days, according to the Times,” the Post reported.

Epstein, who committed suicide last summer in a Manhattan jail cell, saw Prince Andrew as his most valuable “trophy” of the high-profile people he liked “collecting,” socialite Lady Victoria Hervey said in the documentary titled, “The Prince and the Pedophile.”

The Times is cited as the source in the Post report on “Dispatches” obtaining Giuffre’s medical records that confirm her abuse claims, including vaginal bleeding that lasted for weeks.

“Without going into the details of the sexual activities I was forced to endure, there were times when I was physically abused to the point that I remember fearfully thinking that I didn’t know whether I was going to survive,” Giuffre wrote in a legal statement from 2015, according to the Times.

“At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction,” Prince Andrew has said.

“Buckingham Palace has also said that ‘any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue,’” the Post reported.

Jeffrey Epstein 'tried to SUE Sarah Ferguson for calling him a paedophile' as she scrambled to cope with the fallout over £15K gift from ex-husband Prince Andrew's former friend to help clear her debts

· The Duchess of York was threatened with legal action by Jeffrey Epstein

· It came after she publicly called him a paedophile it has been claimed

· She made the statement in an interview after it emerged she had accepted £15,000 from her ex-husband's former friend to help clear a personal debt

By REBECCA ENGLISH ROYAL CORRESPONDANT FOR THE DAILY MAIL

The Duchess of York was threatened with legal action by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein after she publicly called him a paedophile, it has been claimed.

Sarah Ferguson made the statement in a 2011 interview after it emerged she had accepted £15,000 from her ex-husband's former friend to help clear a personal debt.

Epstein had given the money to one of Fergie's assistants at the request of Prince Andrew.

But the payment, which came after Epstein's release from prison over child sex offences, caused a furore when it became public.

Sarah Ferguson (pictured) made the statement in a 2011 interview after it emerged she had accepted £15,000 from her ex-husband's former friend to help clear a personal debt

The duchess subsequently accepted she had made a 'gigantic error of judgement' and offered a 'heartfelt' apology.

Speaking to the Evening Standard she said: 'I deeply regret Jeffrey Epstein became involved in any way with me. I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf.

'I am just so contrite I cannot say. Whenever I can I will repay the money and will have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again. What he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed.'

According to sources, Epstein – clearly in denial about the scale of his crimes – was incensed by her suggestion he was a paedophile.

The billionaire was convicted in 2008 of procuring an under-age girl for prostitution and served 13 months in jail.

He was facing numerous further charges of sex-trafficking earlier this year when he killed himself in his cell in New York.

In 2011 it is understood Epstein hired an unnamed firm of lawyers to sue the duchess, unless she retracted her media statement.

At the same time he took on the services of crisis management PR firm Sitrick & Co to deal with the scandal over his friendship with Andrew, who was infamously photographed with the shamed billionaire following his release from prison.

The firm, which confirms it provided 'consulting advice and public relations services concerning Epstein's relationship with Prince Andrew', advised him how to handle the media storm.

As a result of the outcry, the Queen's son was forced to publicly apologise and lost his job as a roving UK trade ambassador. In 2014 Sitrick sued Epstein for £65,000 in unpaid fees relating to their services.

In recently re-surfaced court papers, which meticulously chart what the PR firm did on Epstein's behalf, it includes a reference on March 15, 2011 to 'work on statement for Fergie'. Two days later, on March 17, 2011, it adds 'revise suggested statement for Fergie'.

A source close to the duchess said yesterday that the 'for Fergie' reference relates to a statement drafted for Epstein which he was trying to get her to release.

The source added: 'Epstein tried to force the duchess to release a statement retracting her suggestion that he was a paedophile which he had drafted by his PR firm.

'Epstein was very unpleasant and very aggressive. She stuck to her guns despite the pressure being put on her and refused to comply.'

Eventually Epstein halted his threat of legal action.

Since his death, which led to all criminal charges being dropped, several of his alleged victims are now suing his estate for damages.

They include Virginia Roberts, who has also accused Andrew of having sexual relations with her when she was under-age, something Buckingham Palace and the prince have strenuously denied.

Andrew has also tried to distance himself from Epstein's activities, saying in a statement last month: 'At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to (Epstein's) arrest and conviction.'

Medical records show Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victim Virginia Roberts was admitted to hospital in New York at the time she says she was suffering regular sexual abuse.

The evidence against Epstein - and details of his friendship with British royal Prince Andrew - was set out in a Channel 4 documentary last night.

It re-examined Virginia Roberts's court evidence from 2015 in which she told how she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to have sex with his many friends.

As part of that activity, she alleges, she had sex with Prince Andrew three times; the first time in London in 2001, the second time in New York and the third in an orgy in the US Virgin Islands.

According to Channel 4's Dispatches programme, The Prince And the Paedophile, Mrs Roberts later feared for her life due to the amount of sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Epstein and his associates.

The programme obtained medical records from a New York hospital that shows that Ms Roberts, suffered three weeks of vaginal bleeding from the 9th of July 2001.

According to court documents, Ms Roberts was brought to London by Epstein in March 2001, when she was 17, and met the Prince at a house in Belgravia.

Ms Roberts said she was excited to meet a real Prince and wanted a picture taken of her and Andrew together to send back to her family back in the United States.

So she handed her own camera to Epstein, who took the widely published photo of Andrew with his hand around her.

She alleges that moments after the photo was taken, she and the Prince went into a bedroom and bathroom, where they had sex.

The accuser claims she later felt like she was being 'graded' on her performance by the disgraced paedophile financier, who told her: 'You did well, the Prince had fun.'

The programme cites a court deposition made in January 2015 as part of a defamation case brought by Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

In it, Ms Roberts claimed she had sex with Prince Andrew three times, the first at the house in Belgravia, a second time at Epstein's house in Manhattan and the third time in an 'orgy on Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands'.

Referring to the third time, Ms Roberts said she was 18 at the time and that the Prince, Epstein and 'approximately eight other young girls, and I had sex together'.

This morning, the day after the documentary was broadcast, Prince Andrew was out at the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention held at the Excel in east London

She said Epstein had joked that the girls couldn't communicate well due to a language barrier and that he said they were the 'easiest' girls to get along with.

Prince Andrew has vehemently denied her claims and Ms Roberts' evidence was thrown out by a court in May 2015.

Earlier this year Buckingham Palace said: 'Any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue.' and 'It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.'

Prince Andrew said of Epstein: 'At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction.'

The documentary also unearthed claims that Epstein had '13 contact numbers for Prince Andrew' in an address book.

Discovered at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, the address book was found to have contact details for several of the Duke of York's residences, including Buckingham Palace.

Prince Andrew has previously denied being aware of any of Epstein's illegal activities. He is pictured above in 2010 answering the door of Epstein's New York mansion

British socialite Lady Victoria Hervey told Dispatches that Epstein, who killed himself in prison, was 'addicted to collecting people' such as the royal.

'Andrew was kind of like newly single... And he meets this charismatic man – Jeffrey collected people. He was almost addicted to collecting important people.

'He liked to impress people. So, the British Royal Family, can you imagine? This was his biggest kind of trophy.'

An investigator has said it was 'hogwash' that Prince Andrew (left) didn't know about Jeffrey Epstein's (right) behaviour. The pair were pictured together in 2010

Andrew says he first met Epstein in 1999, around the same time he had a brief romance with Lady Victoria.

An unnamed friend of Epstein told the programme the prince's friendship with the American after his 2009 conviction for having sex with underage girls was 'more than a lack of judgment' and showed hubris.

The friend added: 'You begin to believe you can't be damaged. You're beyond being damaged. The little people out there can't touch you.'

He said he warned Epstein against having the prince visit him in New York in 2010 following his spell in prison for sex offences. He claims he told Epstein: 'They will attack Prince Andrew for being your friend, and each of you will lose... And I remember him saying: 'No one will know'.'

The warnings proved correct and the pair were photographed together in Central Park. Andrew admits he knew Epstein for 12 years but has strongly denied any inappropriate behaviour with underage girls.

Dai Davis, who was in charge of royal protection for the Metropolitan Police in the 1990s, said he was 'mystified' as to why Scotland Yard did not investigate.

Epstein hanged himself in August in prison in New York while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.

A documentary that aired in the United Kingdom on Monday includes claims that Prince Andrew and the now-dead sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein took part in an orgy with nine underage girls on Epstein’s private-island estate.

The New York Post reported on the latest Epstein-related scandal to hit the royal family:

“Epstein laughed about the fact they couldn’t really communicate, saying that they are the ‘easiest’ girls to get along with,” Giuffre said.

The Times is cited as the source in the Post report on “Dispatches” obtaining Giuffre’s medical records that confirm her abuse claims, including vaginal bleeding that lasted for weeks.

“At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction,” Prince Andrew has said.

“Buckingham Palace has also said that ‘any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue,’” the Post reported.

Report: UK Security Fears Russia May Link Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein Abuse

The UK’s main external security unit MI6 fears Russia may possess information potentially linking Prince Andrew to the Jeffrey Epstein sexual abuse scandal, says a security source.

The Secret Intelligence Service is apparently worried a disgruntled ex-cop who fled the U.S. and was granted political asylum in Russia might have “compromising material on the royal”, the Times of London reports, consisting of direct evidence of the prince’s alleged 2001 tryst with then-17-year-old Epstein “slave” Virginia Giuffre.

Giuffre claimed she was ordered to have sex to with Andrew and many of Epstein’s powerful friends as a teenager — claims both Andrew and Buckingham Palace have profusely denied.

Epstein was found dead from suicide by hanging in a Manhattan jail cell on August 10, 2019, after he was charged with multiple counts of sex trafficking.

The Times’ article draws on the “bizarre case” of John Mark Dougan, a Marine Corps veteran and former Palm Beach sheriff’s deputy who fled to Moscow in 2016 following an FBI raid on his home in Florida.

Dougan, who resigned from the force in 2009, angered police chiefs in America after setting up whistleblower websites throughout the country for “good cops to spill their secrets without fear or retribution”, according to his book, BadVolf.

The Times reports MI6 is worried about how much Dougan knows of the original police investigation into the billionaire pedo’s actitivites when based in Florida, and what information the ex-cop might have shared with Russia.

The unnamed source told the paper: “His knowledge of the Epstein case would have been of great interest to Russian intelligence.”

When contacted in Moscow last week, Dougan agreed that details about Epstein might be “incredibly valuable” for any intelligence agency and might give “leverage” over “a guy like Prince Andrew”.

Dougan claimed on Facebook in July he still possessed confidential documents no one had seen, the Times said.

Prince Andrew’s name has been linked many times to the disgraced tycoon.

As Breitbart New reported, Queen Elizabeth II’s second son flew on Epstein’s private jet on at least two occasions with the disgraced multi-millionaire’s alleged sex slave 17-year-old Virginia Roberts on board, a pilot has claimed.

Pilot David Rodgers, 66, said in a deposition that Prince Andrew and other VIP guests— including former President Bill Clinton, disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, and model Naomi Campbell— also flew on the private jet a number of times.

It is also claimed claimed that Prince Andrew was on the maiden flight of Epstein’s “Lolita Express”— a Boeing 727-200 passenger jet allegedly used to traffic underage girls to his private island in the Caribbean — on August 7, 2001.
