Jeffrey Epstein Scandal Unfolds with New Revelations

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has moved out of Royal Lodge in Windsor to Sandringham, King Charles' private estate in Norfolk, amid new revelations about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move was announced in October and was expected in early 2026. Newly released documents from the US Department of Justice include a 2011 letter alleging that Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein asked a woman to engage in sex acts with them, and other emails and photos that have put pressure on Mountbatten-Windsor to explain himself. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called for Mountbatten-Windsor to cooperate with investigators, and Epstein survivors have also spoken out, urging him to testify.

Newly released footage from the Epstein files shows Ghislaine Maxwell's daily routine in a Brooklyn jail cell after her arrest in 2020. The video reveals a mundane life, with Maxwell cleaning, reading, and folding her jumpsuit. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking scheme. She has since been moved to a minimum-security prison in Texas. The released files also include a mugshot and an email exchange between Maxwell and Melania Trump.

The article discusses how Jeffrey Epstein used luxury goods to curry favor with his famous friends and associates. According to documents released by the Justice Department, Epstein used gifts such as designer handbags, watches, and clothing to ingratiate himself with influential people, including Noam Chomsky and Peggy Siegal. The documents reveal Epstein's pointed opinions about style and how to deploy it, and suggest that he used gifts to reward those in his orbit.
