Inside the Controversial Dinner at Buckingham Palace: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein, and the Romanian Woman
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor extended an invitation to Jeffrey Epstein and a Romanian woman to dine at Buckingham Palace, as revealed in emails. The woman was invited at Epstein's request in September 2010, during his visit to London. Documents from the Epstein files indicate that she was part of a group accompanying the disgraced financier. Epstein informed the woman that Andrew found her beautiful and encouraged her to attend the dinner despite her initial hesitation about her attire.
Epstein had initially contacted Andrew to arrange a dinner meeting, to which Andrew suggested options for the venue, including Buckingham Palace. Following his return from Scotland, Andrew proposed dinner at the palace for privacy. Epstein expressed his preference for Buckingham Palace and suggested bringing additional guests for a livelier atmosphere. Andrew agreed to the idea and welcomed the addition of one more guest, a Romanian woman described as "very cute."
The emails do not provide further details on the dinner plans or the attendees' interactions during the evening. Epstein later informed Andrew that he had a great time and hinted at discussing more details later. Epstein's untimely death in a New York jail in August 2019, ruled as a suicide, halted any potential revelations from the ongoing legal proceedings against him. Meanwhile, Andrew has faced vehemently denied allegations of sexual misconduct with Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was trafficked by Epstein as a teenager.
