Photos and emails have revealed disturbing new details about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s hidden world with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the latest batch of files.

Pictures of Andrew on all fours over a woman lying on the floor were among more than three million documents published by the US Department of Justice on Saturday (AEDT).

Former Australian prime minister and outgoing US ambassador Kevin Rudd’s name also appears in emails sent to and from Epstein as third parties tried to secure a meeting.

Rudd has vehemently denied attending Epstein’s New York home, corresponding with the convicted US sex offender or visiting any of his houses.

Rudd is one of thousands mentioned in the files and The New Daily does not suggest any form of personal relationship between Epstein and Rudd (more below).

The former prince also exchanged emails with Epstein about a “beautiful” Russian woman and invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace.

Two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution, the financier wrote to Mountbatten-Windsor in 2010: “I have a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with.”

In response, “The Duke” replies: “Of course. I am in Geneva until the morning of 22nd but would be delighted to see her. Will she be bringing a message from you? Please give her my contact details to get in touch.”

“A.”

In response to a redacted email, “The Duke” says: “Great. Any other information you might know about her that might be useful to know? Like what have you told her about me and have you given her my email as well?”

Epstein then writes: “She 26, russian, clevere (sic) beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email.”

The email account labelled “The Duke” replies: “That was quick! How are you? Good to be free?”

Epstein says: “(redacted)… great to be free of many things.”

The exchange ends with “The Duke” saying: “So many opportunities that I am frustratingly not allowed to participate in.

“And so many that are obvious but can’t get anyone to fire on.

“Must come and see you sometime soon.”

In another exchange in September 2010, Epstein said he was in London, and “The Duke” replied: “I am just departing Scotland should be down by 1800.

“I’ll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring.

“Alternatively we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.

“A.”

In a different exchange, which was also released on Friday, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell agreed that “Andrew” should choose to spend time with “Sarah and the kids” instead of visiting “the Island” where there would be “5 stunning red heads”.

The exchange is between an address named “The Invisible Man” and Maxwell in August 2002.

It suggests The Invisible Man may be Mountbatten-Windsor after Maxwell refers to him as Andrew and mentions the name of his former wife, Sarah Ferguson. Previous emails from the account referred to having a valet and being at Balmoral with the royal family.

In an email signed “A”, the sender says: “As the planning is getting more difficult over the bank holiday weekend here I am thinking now I might join Sarah and the kids in Sotogrande for a few days which would be very important and a good thing for the girls, rather than trek across the pond.

“Please will you give me permission to do so and I am conscious of the ‘better offer’ syndrome but in this case it wouldn’t be that… I think!”

In her reply dated August 24 2002, Maxwell said: “Andrew sweet heart – I fully understand if you want to spend time w/Sarah and the kids. I will not be remotely offended – sad not to spend time w/you and sad not to see you but at this point w/precious holidays and few days off I agree that this idea of coming to the Island looks less appealing.”

In a follow-up email sent on August 25, 2002 after The Invisible Man confirmed he would not be coming, Maxwell said: “No problem, (redacted), who is now coming and 5 other stunning red heads will all just have to play with ourselves”.

In a reply on August 27, The Invisible Man said: “Look forward to catching up with you before you disappear to some exotic place and please don’t catch anything nasty on your travels!

“Masses of love and thanks, A xxx”

Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson have two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

Rudd denies meeting Epstein

Rudd has denied attending Epstein’s New York home following the latest release of US Department of Justice files.

In a lengthy statement, Rudd vehemently denied ever corresponding with the convicted US sex offender or visiting any of his houses.

The documents give an insight about how Epstein used his contacts to court those in power, using others to initiate meetings between him and  other high profile people.

For decades, Epstein maintained friendly relationships with former presidents and high-ranking officials and was reportedly involved in intelligence and influence activities.

Emails in the files release showed Epstein had scheduled to meet Rudd on Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 4.30pm, but Rudd strongly denied ever meeting Epstein and said there was no evidence that the former PM had accepted any invitation made to him.

“Our office has no records of this meeting, and the published documents gave no indication about who was involved in organising it. In any case, they were unsuccessful in arranging the introduction,” a statement from Rudd’s office said.

Rudd is one of thousands mentioned in the Epstein files, and there is no suggestion he had any form of personal relationship with Epstein.

“We cannot rule out the possibility that they might have attended the same event at some stage, since Dr Rudd has attended literally thousands of functions in New York over the years,” the statement said.

“Most references to Dr Rudd in these latest documents mention him in passing. Others indicate there were attempts by mutual acquaintances of Jeffrey Epstein to introduce him to Dr Rudd. No introduction ever took place, and there is no evidence of any direct contact between Jeffrey Epstein and either Dr Rudd or his office.”

The release comes after months of accusations between the government and Congress regarding the slow pace and opacity of the documents, which have been withheld due to years of records and legal documentation related to the Epstein case.

In the statement Rudd’s office said: “Even if these various records were somehow to be accepted at face value, none of them allege that Dr Rudd engaged in any wrongful activity or had any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

“Dr Rudd’s legal team is prepared to launch legal action against any defamatory statements asserting any kind of personal relationship between Dr Rudd and Epstein.”
