The latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein documents, released by the US Department of Justice just days before Christmas, has the internet in total meltdown. Among the thousands of pages? Emails that appear to show the former Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) casually asking Ghislaine Maxwell if she’s “found me some new inappropriate friends” — while he’s chilling at Balmoral Castle in August 2001.
From the email (sent from an account called “The Invisible Man” and signed “A”): “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family… Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?”
He even mentions being free for a hot, sunny getaway with “fun people” before fall duties kick in. Maxwell replies sarcastically about only finding “appropriate friends” and church meetings. 😬
These details line up perfectly with Andrew’s timeline: He was at Balmoral that summer (confirmed by old reports), had just left the Royal Navy, and even mentions losing his longtime valet (who passed away around then). Multiple outlets (BBC, Guardian, NBC, ABC) are pointing to strong evidence this is him — though his name isn’t explicitly on the emails.
This comes months after the alleged incident with Virginia Giuffre (which Andrew has always denied), and while he was still deeply tied to Epstein/Maxwell’s world.
Check out these iconic (and now even more loaded) photos from the era:

And this one — the infamous photo of Andrew reclining across laps of women, with Maxwell looking on — just got even more chilling in context:

Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, says he cut ties with Epstein when issues arose, and settled civilly with Giuffre without admitting guilt. No charges have ever been filed against him.
But these emails? They’re raising HUGE questions about what “inappropriate friends” really meant… and how close he really stayed to that circle.
