Ex-Prince Andrew Entertained Second Epstein Victim at His Royal Lodge Home, Lawyer Claims

A second woman has come forward to allege that she was sent to the U.K. by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

King Charles’ brother entertained the woman at his home, Royal Lodge, in Windsor, in 2010, a lawyer for the unnamed woman has claimed. The woman was in her 20s at the time, the BBC reported, adding that she was allegedly also given a tour of Buckingham Palace.

She is the first woman to come forward to allege an encounter with Andrew at a royal residence.

The woman’s lawyer, Brad Edwards from the firm Edwards Henderson, told the BBC on Jan. 31, “We’re talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein, over to Prince Andrew. And she even had, after a night with Prince Andrew, a tour of Buckingham Palace.”

Edwards also represented Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that she was trafficked to London to have sex with Andrew when she was 17.

Giuffre died by suicide on April 24, 2025. Her memoir, Nobody’s Girl, was published posthumously in October, increasing pressure on Andrew. In her book, Giuffre restated her allegations against Andrew and wrote that the former prince “believed having sex with me was his birthright.”

Andrew has repeatedly denied Giuffre’s allegations and reached a settlement with her in 2022. He has been contacted by PEOPLE regarding the latest claims.

Scrutiny of the former prince increased when more files associated with Epstein were released and shared online by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday, Jan. 30. Included in them was an image of Andrew bending over a fully-clothed woman and touching her stomach while she is on the floor. A second picture shows Andrew on his hands and knees, hovering over the woman.

Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and ordered to surrender the lease on his 30-room mansion, Royal Lodge, in October 2025. He is in the process of moving out of the property and was photographed over the weekend driving out of the estate.

Buckingham Palace had no comment on the latest slew of stories that have emerged since the most recent release of files in the Epstein case. Andrew “continues to deny the allegations against him,” the palace said in the October statement announcing his royal demotion.

The statement, issued on behalf of Charles and his wife Queen Camilla, added, “Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

In June 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to charges of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18, after which he was sentenced to serve 18 months in a minimum-security prison. He was released from the facility in 2009 and began serving the house arrest sentence, which ended in August 2010. Just weeks later, newly released emails show that Andrew invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace, assuring him of the location’s “privacy.”

Meanwhile, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggested at the weekend that Andrew should come forward and testify before Congress about his connections to Epstein. “I have always said anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information,” Starmer told reporters at the weekend, the BBC said. “You can’t be victim-centered if you’re not prepared to do that. Epstein’s victims have to be the first priority.”
