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

Police say the probe is at a very early stage and is evidence-led, after U.S. files and flight logs raised new questions.

  • Police Scotland confirmed active enquiries are ongoing into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell's time at Balmoral Castle, citing allegations that women were trafficked to the King's private estate in the Highlands.
  • Prosecutors released photographs during Maxwell's 2021 trial depicting her and Epstein relaxing outside a log cabin at Balmoral Castle during a 1999 visit, reportedly following an invitation from Mountbatten-Windsor.
  • Flight logs from Epstein's private jet show Mountbatten-Windsor and Maxwell flew from Luton to Edinburgh on September 1, 2006; the records surfaced in the Epstein Files released last year.
  • Coordinating with a UK-wide group, Police Scotland confirmed the investigation remains at an "early stage" and is evidence-led, though the force has not disclosed the nature of information received.
  • Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing regarding his connection to Epstein, as the investigation into Balmoral Castle activities marks a significant development in ongoing scrutiny of his former associations.
