Legal papers released with a fresh tranche of Jeffrey Epstein files assert that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein invited an exotic dancer to perform sexual acts at Epstein’s Florida home in 2006. The letter, dated March 2011, says the woman was offered $10,000 to dance, received $2,000, and was later urged into a proposed threesome; she sought confidentiality in exchange for $250,000. The claim is presented as an allegation in an attorney letter; Mountbatten-Windsor has been contacted and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. The documents and related emails also describe a separate August 2010 arrangement in which Epstein suggested a dinner between Mountbatten-Windsor and a 26-year-old Russian woman.
Key takeaways
- The March 2011 legal letter alleges a 2006 encounter at Epstein’s Florida residence in which a dancer from Rachel’s Strip Club was offered $10,000 to perform.
- The letter states the woman received $2,000 of the promised fee and was asked to keep the encounter confidential for $250,000.
- The document claims Epstein introduced the dancer to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and that both men sought a threesome during the encounter.
- The letter reports the dancer felt she was “treated like a prostitute,” language reproduced from the legal filing.
- August 2010 emails show Epstein proposing a London dinner between Mountbatten-Windsor and a 26-year-old Russian woman who later described the night as “amazing.”
- The correspondence came roughly two years after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting prostitution of a minor and his registration as a sex offender.
- Photographs and additional materials were released in the latest batch of Epstein-related files from U.S. authorities; Mountbatten-Windsor faces renewed pressure to give evidence about his ties to Epstein.
Background
Jeffrey Epstein, a financier who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor, cultivated a network of social and business contacts across the U.S. and internationally. Over the years a large body of civil filings, witness statements and seized documents have painted a picture of parties and travel arrangements in which young women and girls were allegedly trafficked to associate locations and private residences. The U.S. Department of Justice and other entities have periodically released batches of these materials, generating renewed scrutiny each time new names or photographs surface.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the son of King Charles III, has been publicly linked to Epstein in both emails and photographs that have circulated since the files became available. He has repeatedly denied any sexual wrongdoing. Civil litigation connected to Epstein’s network has resulted in settlements and disclosures that, while not criminal convictions for many named associates, have contributed to public and legal pressure for fuller accounts of interactions and travel arrangements.
Main event
The central claim in the March 2011 letter concerns a 2006 evening at Epstein’s Florida home. According to the attorney’s account, exotic dancers from Rachel’s Strip Club in West Palm Beach were driven to Epstein’s residence and offered $10,000 to perform. The letter alleges that after dancing the unnamed woman was introduced to Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and that the two men requested sexual activity beyond the dance.
Lawyers for the dancer say she was paid only $2,000 of the promised sum and that the parties offered a later payment arrangement. The filing states the woman was told she could be paid later for dancing and was subsequently “prevailed upon to engage in various sex acts,” language attributed to the legal letter. The letter also quotes the dancer saying she was “treated like a prostitute.”
The document further claims Epstein offered the woman travel to the Virgin Islands with him and Mountbatten-Windsor; she declined. Separately, emails from August 2010 show Epstein attempting to arrange a London dinner between Mountbatten-Windsor and a 26-year-old Russian woman, who later emailed Epstein calling the night “amazing” and describing her trip as “a special adventure.”
Analysis & implications
These new excerpts add to an accumulation of allegations that tie social introductions and party environments orchestrated by Epstein to encounters involving young women. Even where papers are civil or investigatory, repeated patterns in dates, payments and travel arrangements increase public scrutiny of named associates. For public figures such as Mountbatten-Windsor, repeated references in such documents create reputational and legal pressure even when they deny wrongdoing.
Legally, attorney letters and unfiled settlement notes are not proof of criminal conduct; they are claims and sometimes negotiation tools. Nevertheless, details that match independently created emails, payment records or contemporaneous photographs can strengthen investigations. Prosecutors generally weigh documentary corroboration, witness credibility and statutes of limitation when deciding whether to pursue charges.
Politically and institutionally, renewed disclosures can prompt inquiries, parliamentary questions or calls for testimony. For the monarchy and other institutions tied by association, the principal risk is reputational damage rather than immediate legal consequence; that damage can, however, drive further journalistic and legal digging. Internationally, links across jurisdictions—Florida, the Bahamas, London and the Virgin Islands in these materials—complicate jurisdictional responsibility and evidence collection.
Comparison & data
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Alleged offer (2006) | $10,000 to dance |
| Amount received | $2,000 (per letter) |
| Requested confidentiality | $250,000 (as reported by lawyers) |
| Relevant dates in emails | 8–25 August 2010 (London correspondence) |
The simple table above highlights the monetary and date figures that recur in the filings and correspondence. Viewed with other materials from the same releases, the payments and travel windows form a pattern that investigators and journalists use to cross-check claims. While financial sums and dates can be independently verifiable, the factual question of consent or criminality typically requires witness testimony and corroboration beyond a single letter.
Reactions & quotes
Media outlets and public figures have responded to the newly released documents with calls for clarification and demands for full accounts. The exchange of emails and attorney statements have prompted renewed reporting and inquiries in multiple countries.
“She was working as an exotic dancer, but she was treated like a prostitute.”
March 2011 legal letter (attorney for the dancer)
This phrase, taken from the attorney’s letter, is cited in the filings and summarizes the woman’s account of how she felt treated that night. It is presented here as language used in the legal document rather than as an independently adjudicated fact.
“I had an amazing night, thank you!”
Email from the Russian woman to Jeffrey Epstein, 22 August 2010
The short email line reproduced in the released correspondence reflects the Russian woman’s reported reaction after the 22 August evening. The chain of messages does not confirm every step described in later summaries, but it does show Epstein facilitating social introductions.
Unconfirmed
- Whether the specific 2006 encounter described in the March 2011 letter was ever the subject of a signed settlement or legal release is not confirmed by the documents made public.
- The letter’s allegation that Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein asked for a threesome is reported in the attorney’s account but has not been independently corroborated in public court records.
- It is not confirmed in the released emails whether the proposed London dinner on 22 August 2010 definitively took place between Mountbatten-Windsor and the Russian woman.
Bottom line
The newly available documents add specific, detailed allegations linking social introductions arranged by Jeffrey Epstein to encounters that involved at least one prominent public figure. Those allegations are currently documented in attorney correspondence and email chains; they remain contested and in several respects uncorroborated in publicly released court rulings. Mountbatten-Windsor’s denials and the absence of criminal charges tied directly to these particular claims mean they sit in the contested space between allegation and adjudicated fact.
For the public and investigators, the key follow-ups are verification of payments, contemporaneous witness testimony and any documentary corroboration that links the asserted events to independently verifiable records. Given the transnational scope of the materials and the passage of time, further clarity may arise only through additional disclosures, testimony or official investigative action.
