Scottish police conduct inquiries into ex-Prince Andrew and Epstein's visit to king's estate

Police said the inquiry is at a very early stage and centers on claims that women were trafficked to the royal estate.

  • On Friday, Police Scotland confirmed active inquiries into the time Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor spent at Balmoral with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, stating the probe is at a very early stage.
  • The Daily Express reported allegations that women were trafficked to the royal estate, following US Department of Justice files released last year showing Epstein and Maxwell at a Balmoral log cabin in 1999.
  • Flight logs show Mountbatten-Windsor and Maxwell flew from Luton to Edinburgh on September 1, 2006, aboard Epstein's private jet; photographs released by prosecutors depict the pair at the estate.
  • Police stated all inquiries are evidence-led with victim-survivor needs central, emphasizing the investigation remains at a 'very early stage.' Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
  • Nearly nine UK police forces are assessing Epstein-related material to identify potential victims or witnesses, reflecting a broader accountability effort across multiple jurisdictions examining the financier's associations.
