Newly Released Documents Reveal Prince Andrew Flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s Jet, Got $200 Massages
Prince Andrew hitched a ride on late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s jet at least twice — and had several massages arranged for him by the convicted pedophile — newly released documents reveal, according to The Sun.
According to documents released on Friday, September 26 by members of the House Oversight Committee, the Duke of York, 65, was listed as a passenger on flights in 2000 and 2002.
For the 2000 flight from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida, Andrew was joined by Epstein and his then-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who has since been convicted of sex trafficking of a minor, plus two other passengers, whose names were redacted.
Locals on Epstein’s private Caribbean island, Little Saint James, reportedly dubbed the plane the “Lolita Express” because it was often carrying young girls.
The documents also reveal that Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution, arranged for Andrew to have $200 massages — the same amount Epstein’s victims have claimed they were paid for the service.
Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with his friend, who died by suicide while in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.
However the prince stepped back from royal duties in 2020 following backlash over a 2019 interview he gave about the friendship with the U.K. show, Newsnight.
His mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, stripped the prince of his military titles and royal patronages in 2022, the same year he settled a civil suit with the late Virginia Giuffre — who accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor — without admitting any blame.
