New Epstein Files Fuel allegations that Ex-Prince Andrew met second woman at Royal Lodge
A Florida‑based attorney claims a second woman has come forward alleging she was sent by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to the United Kingdom in 2010 to engage in a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor — formerly Prince Andrew — at his Windsor estate residence, according to reporting by the BBC and major outlets including People.
The unnamed woman, who was in her 20s at the time of the alleged incident, says Epstein arranged for her to travel from New York to the U.K. to spend the night with the former royal at Royal Lodge, his sprawling mansion in Windsor Great Park, west of London. After that night, her lawyer says she was shown around Buckingham Palace and served tea — a first in the long‑running controversy involving Epstein’s network and associates.

Brad Edwards of the Florida law firm Edwards Henderson, who is representing the woman, told the BBC that “we’re talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein over to ex-Prince Andrew.” Edwards is a prominent advocate for survivors of Epstein’s abuse and previously represented Virginia Giuffre, the best‑known accuser in the Prince Andrew case.
These latest allegations come as a massive tranche of documents and files tied to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Epstein investigation was released at the end of January, including some images and emails that have intensified global scrutiny of Andrew’s past ties to Epstein. One released photograph appears to show Andrew crouched over a woman lying on the floor — though the identities and full context remain unclear.
The claim of a second accuser has already attracted political attention. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly suggested that Andrew should be prepared to testify before the U.S. Congress about what he knows of Epstein’s trafficking network, a rare call for a member of the British royal family to appear before another country’s lawmakers. Starmer stressed the importance of supporting victims and ensuring accountability.
Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing in any Epstein‑linked allegations, including those made by Giuffre. In 2022, he reached an out‑of‑court settlement with Giuffre in a civil lawsuit she filed in New York that accused him of sexual abuse linked to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. That settlement did not include any admission of guilt.
Giuffre, who publicly alleged she was trafficked to have sex with Andrew as a minor, died by suicide in April 2025. Her posthumously published memoir recounted her alleged experiences, renewing pressure on Andrew and the British royal establishment amid the lingering controversy.
In October 2025, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his remaining royal titles and honors, effectively ending his 65‑year standing as a senior member of the royal family. He was also ordered to surrender his lease on Royal Lodge and is reportedly in the process of moving out after years of living on the Windsor estate.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the specific new allegations detailed by Edwards and reported by People and the BBC. In a previous statement announcing Andrew’s demotion, palace officials said that the king and Queen Camilla wished to express “their thoughts and utmost sympathies…with the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”
The alleged trafficking of a second woman to meet Andrew — if verified — would mark a significant new chapter in one of the most explosive royal scandals of recent decades. Legal pressure and public scrutiny are expected to increase as years‑long investigations continue, and lawmakers weigh the possibility of testimony and further disclosures.
