British police are to review fresh allegations that Jeffrey Epstein provided Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a woman to have sex with at the Royal Lodge in 2010.
The woman has claimed she spent the night at the then prince’s residence in Windsor, her US lawyer, Brad Edwards, said after the allegations surfaced over the weekend. The woman, who is not British, was in her 20s at the time, and was later given a tour of Buckingham Palace, it is further alleged.

British police are to review fresh allegations that Jeffrey Epstein provided Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a woman to have sex with at the Royal Lodge in 2010.
The woman has claimed she spent the night at the then prince’s residence in Windsor, her US lawyer, Brad Edwards, said after the allegations surfaced over the weekend. The woman, who is not British, was in her 20s at the time, and was later given a tour of Buckingham Palace, it is further alleged.
A Thames Valley police spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes. We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures.
“We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley police by either the lawyer [of the woman] or their client.”
Thames Valley are looking at the case as the Royal Lodge is in the area their force.
The review does not necessarily mean a criminal investigation will take place.
Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied wrongdoing.
His involvement with Epstein has
resulted in King Charles stripping him of his titles.
The latest revelations became public after the US Department of Justice released more documents relating to Epstein and his links to the rich and powerful on Friday.
On Tuesday, Andrew’s brother Prince Edward said it was important to “remember the victims”.
They were the first public comments by a senior royal since** **the latest documents were released, which included several new claims about the former Duke of York.
Speaking in Dubai, Edward said: “I think it’s all really important, always, to remember the victims and who are the victims in all this.”
The latest Epstein documents include photos of Andrew crouched over a woman.
The anti-monarchy campaign group Republic had said British police should investigate the claims that Epstein trafficked the woman to the UK to have sex with Andrew in 2010.
In December, the Met decided after a review not to launch a full criminal investigation into two other matters. They were that Mountbatten-Windsor had sex in London in 2001 with Virginia Giuffre, who was then a teenager and was trafficked by Epstein, and that Andrew put pressure on his police protection officer to dig up dirt on her.
