Recent revelations stemming from over three million newly disclosed documents related to the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have sparked widespread media attention. Among the notable disclosures are emails from 2010 indicating that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace shortly after Epstein’s release from house arrest. One such email, sent from an account labeled “The Duke” which appears connected to the former prince, has not been independently authenticated by the BBC. Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, and efforts to obtain a comment from him remain ongoing.
Further details emerge in the documents reportedly showing that the former royal assured Epstein of “lots of privacy” during the visit planned for September 2010. Epstein had been released from house arrest two months prior, in July. These correspondences, however, do not explicitly indicate illegal activity, and the subject of these emails has been contacted for clarification. Additionally, a message signed “A” with the apparent email signature “HRH Duke of York KG” suggested Epstein was attempting to introduce a “beautiful” 26-year-old Russian woman to the former prince, according to reports based on these leaked communications.
Other prominent figures feature in the newly released paperwork as well. The Guardian highlights transfers of thousands of pounds from Epstein to Reinaldo Avila da Silva, partner of Peter Mandelson, in 2009. In one email, da Silva details the expenses of an osteopathy course and provides banking information, thanking Epstein for any support. Mandelson has publicly expressed regret over his previous friendship with Epstein and reiterated his position in response to these new disclosures. Meanwhile, the Daily Star draws attention to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, whose name also appears in the files, linking him to an allegation of contracting a sexually transmitted disease from women connected to Epstein—a claim Gates’s spokesperson has adamantly described as “absolutely absurd and completely false.”
The documents also reference former US President Donald Trump, though many claims against him appear to be unverified tips lacking corroboration. The White House directed inquiries to the Department of Justice’s statements, which described some allegations as “untrue and sensationalist.” Trump has consistently denied any involvement in wrongdoing related to Epstein and is not accused of crimes by Epstein’s victims. Separately, in other news concerning Trump, the Financial Times reports that he has nominated Kevin Warsh to chair the Federal Reserve, succeeding Jerome Powell after his term concludes in May. Warsh, formerly a Fed governor and known critic of the institution, is poised to take on this key role.
Closer to home, a recent poll cited by the i Paper indicates that half of UK voters now want Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer replaced. The figures reportedly mark the first instance in which Starmer has lost the backing of those who voted for him and the Labour Party in the 2024 election. Meanwhile, the Daily Express continues its campaign advocating for what it calls “a proper Brexit,” emphasizing the ongoing debate over the UK’s post-EU future
