A police force has confirmed they are investigating reports that Jeffrey Epstein sent a second woman to the UK to have a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at the Royal Lodge.

The latest alleged victim, who is not British and was in her 20s at the time, is said to have spent the night with the disgraced prince on Royal property.

Brad Edwards, who also represented Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre before her death last year, told BBC News the woman was given a tour of Buckingham Palace afterwards.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: ‘We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes.

‘We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures.

‘We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward.

‘At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.’

Thames Valley has taken over the case as the Royal Lodge is in the area covered by the force. The review does not necessarily mean a criminal investigation will take place.

Andrew has previously denied wrongdoing.

It would be the first time an Epstein survivor has claimed an encounter happened inside a royal property.

Mr Edwards said: ‘We’re talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein over to Prince Andrew.

‘And she even had, after a night with Prince Andrew, a tour of Buckingham Palace.’

In an interview with the Daily Mail, he urged Andrew and the Royal Family to discuss the case with him soon or face being taken to court.

He said: ‘I’m hoping some time this week that somebody on behalf of the Palace will reach out and say, “let’s figure this out”.’

Andrew, who was stripped of all his royal titles last year, has always strenuously denied any allegations of wrongdoing made against him relating to his relationship with Epstein.

Previously, he has only directly faced accusations from Virginia Giuffre.

In 2022, he settled a civil case filed against him by Giuffre on no admission of liability for an undisclosed sum, reported to be more than £12 million.

She died by suicide in April last year, six months before her memoir Nobody’s Girl was published.

A representative for Buckingham Palace directed Metro towards the statement released at the time, which said: ‘These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

‘Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.’

Mr Edwards claimed there were communications between the woman and the former prince ahead of the night she said she spent with him.

The lawyer said he was now considering filing a lawsuit against Andrew on his client’s behalf.

Additional pressure has been heaped on Andrew following the publication of millions more documents in the ‘Epstein files’, including pictures where he appears to be on all fours above a woman lying on the ground.

The latest batch of files also include an email from Jeffrey Epstein offering to set up Andrew with a woman who is ’26, russian, clevere [sic] beautiful, trustworthy’ in 2010.

Metro has contacted representatives of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for comment.
