Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein 'we're in this together' in 2011 email

Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein ‘we’re in this together’ in 2011 email
Sun 12 Oct 2025 10.29 EDT

Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein in an email “we are in this together” after a picture of the British royal with his arm around a teenage Virginia Giuffre was first published in 2011. The email will pile further pressure on the Duke of York and the royal family because he previously told the BBC he had ceased contact with the convicted child sex offender by that point.

Correspondence between the king’s younger brother and Epstein, published in the Mail on Sunday and the Sun on Sunday, appears to show that was not the case. Andrew emailed Epstein on 28 February 2011, the day after the well-known photograph of the duke, Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell was made public. He told Epstein to “keep in close touch” and expressed a wish to “play some more soon”.

In 2019, Andrew told the BBC’s Newsnight programme that he broke off his friendship with Epstein in December 2010, after the two men were photographed together strolling in New York. But he wrote to Epstein in the message after the photo was published: “I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”

He is said to have signed off with: “A, HRH The Duke of York, KG.”

this one's got the rest of them beat by a country mile.

Eww.

I wonder if the Trump regime is getting pressure from the UK to keep the Epstein files locked up? Though at this point Andrew is pretty much persona non grata with the royals anyhow.

He would not cave in to the UK to save Andrew's neck.

OMG!

Seriously, some royals . . .

Why not do what is traditionally a role for bored royals, having a 'bit on the side', someone your own age, at least there you have consenting adults and the British media take that as a hush-hush topic.

I hear he sleeps with like 80 teddy bears. There's something deeply sick about Andrew, and he needs to be held accountable. I know he never will be, but he should be.
