A stunning revelation has emerged, with a model alleging that the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein arranged for her to travel to Balmoral to provide a massage for Prince Andrew. The former Duke of York is reported to have received Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, along with the model, at the Scottish estate in 1999. Prince Andrew has consistently denied any misconduct related to his association with Epstein.
The model, who was reportedly being groomed by Epstein, claimed she was instructed to massage Prince Andrew but refused, stating that it made her uncomfortable. These claims surfaced after a photograph from the Epstein Files depicted Prince Andrew reclining across the laps of five women at Sandringham during a gathering in 2000 with Epstein and Maxwell.
The aspiring model from New York, who had a troubled past, was sent to Epstein by her agency under the guise of an audition. She later revealed that her interactions with Epstein turned sexual about three months into their massage sessions. The model also alleged that Epstein intended to groom her for exploitation by other men, but his associates expressed interest in having sexual relations with her, leading Epstein to cease his requests for her services.
In addition to the Balmoral trip, the model disclosed that she was flown to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort and Epstein’s private island, Little St James. Commenting on the situation, royal author Andrew Lownie raised concerns about Prince Andrew’s use of royal residences and the apparent indifference of palace officials.
Efforts to obtain a response from Buckingham Palace on the matter are ongoing. Meanwhile, there is growing pressure in Washington DC as the Trump administration delays the release of the Epstein Files. Royal experts have expressed apprehension regarding the potential impact of the files on Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, citing the extensive nature of the documents and the possibility of further damaging revelations.
