Emails involving Ghislaine Maxwell also reference Andrew, including discussions about whether he should spend time with Sarah Ferguson and their children at a Spanish resort instead of visiting Epstein’s private island. Andrew continues to deny all allegations.

Other royals named and what the references mean

Sarah Ferguson is mentioned several times in the files. Documents include Epstein requesting help drafting a public statement on her behalf in 2011. At the time, she publicly expressed regret over her association with him and apologised for accepting money from him. Later emails show her referring to Epstein as a dear friend, which her representatives claim was part of an attempt to defuse a defamation threat. Ferguson has said she cut off contact once the scale of Epstein’s crimes became clear.
