£70M SEX DEN

Epstein’s suicide appeared to have

brought Andrew and Sarah closer.

They were yesterday holidaying in

Sotogrande, in Andalusia, Spain.

They were previously at Balmoral

Castle in Scotland, where the Duke

was photographed with the Queen as

they travelled to a church service.

Her majesty was yesterday pictured

attending church on her own.

Meanwhile, Ms Giuffre has asked

the Met Police to launch a new probe

into her claims that Epstein’s sex ring

trafficked her to London.

It came after the force revealed on

Friday after a review of all “available

evidence” that began in 2015, it had

decided not to conduct a “full

investigation” into her allegations.

The Met refused to answer detailed

questions about the claims and

whether they ever spoke to Epstein,

Maxwell, Andrew or anyone from the

Royal Household. The force yesterday

declined to say if it would agree to Ms

Giuffre’s request to reopen the case.

That autumn,

Andrew was a

guest at a Halloween

“hookers and bondage”

party in Manhattan, where

Maxwell dressed as a prostitute.

And in December that year, the

Prince hosted a birthday party for

Maxwell at Sandringham, which

Epstein attended. All three then went

to Thailand to celebrate the New Year.

Other encounters between Andrew

and Epstein are believed to have taken

place at the Queen’s Norfolk estate

and a dinner in Saint Tropez.

The Duke’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson,

also faced questions over links to

Epstein after taking £15,000 from him

while in debt – although after he was

exposed she said she regretted it and

vowed to return it. Meanwhile,

Records

detailing flights

by Epstein’s private

jet reveal that in May

2000, Andrew flew to Palm

Beach with him and Maxwell.

A month later, Epstein and Maxwell

are believed to have attended a

bumper royal birthday bash at

Windsor, marking Andrew’s 40th,

foundation.” Buckingham Palace also

said in 2015 that “any suggestion of

impropriety with underage minors is

categorically untrue”.

But despite the repeated denials of

wrongdoing, Andrew and the palace

have yet to explain the photo of him

with his arm around Ms Giuffre, then

17, in London in 2001 – and why he

did not sever his ties with Epstein

once he was a registered sex offender.

Andrew, 59, was introduced to

Epstein in the 1990s by British

socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the

daughter of the late, disgraced

newspaper owner Robert.

The 57-year-old was allegedly his

that he groped her breast at Epstein’s

New York home when she was 21.

Ms Giuffre and Ms Sjoberg made

their allegations against Andrew as

part of a 2015 Florida court filing. But

a judge threw out the claims and

ordered them struck from the record

as “immaterial and impertinent”.

Days before Epstein was found

dead, a huge legal dossier containing

the lurid allegations was unsealed.

Andrew’s lawyers reiterated their

denials, saying: “It is emphatically

denied that the Duke of York had any

form of sexual contact or relationship

with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to

the contrary is false and without

“I met Naomi Campbell at a birthday

party of hers on a yacht in France. She

was a real bitch to me.”

Campbell’s numerous flights with

Epstein and his entourage, as well as

guests such as former US President

Bill Clinton.

in a document attached to a
