A new accusation has emerged involving a second woman who claims she was dispatched to the United Kingdom by the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein to engage in sexual activities with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The purported incident reportedly occurred in 2010 at Royal Lodge, Andrew’s former 30-room residence in Windsor.

This marks the inaugural claim from an Epstein victim asserting they were sexually assaulted within a royal property.

The woman, who hails from outside the UK and was in her twenties during the alleged event, recounted being taken on a tour of Buckingham Palace and having tea after spending the night with Andrew.

Despite the Palace maintaining visitor records, verifying her account remains challenging without disclosing her identity.

This allegation follows that of Virginia Giuffre, who was the first to claim she was brought to London by Epstein in 2001 to have sex with Andrew when she was just 17.

Ms Giuffre, who took her own life last April, said she was forced to have sex with Andrew twice more in 2001 and 2002 – once in New York and again on Epstein’s private Caribbean island. Andrew has always denied Ms Giuffre’s claims. 

The revelations come after images appearing to show Andrew crouched on all fours over a woman were published in the Epstein files. He is staring directly at the camera in one picture, while in another he has placed his left hand on the female’s stomach.

He is yet to comment on the latest allegations which were first reported by the BBC.

The second woman to accuse the ex-Duke of sexual assault is being represented by Brad Edwards from the US law firm Edwards Henderson.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘Our client has suffered enough. As everyone knows, Andrew’s power and access flowed directly from his status in the royal family, and that power enabled the conduct at issue. 

‘The time has come for the monarchy to acknowledge the harm caused and to ensure any victims are fairly treated. This is about responsibility and repair—not avoidance.’

Edwards Henderson is based in Florida and has represented 200 Epstein survivors worldwide, including Andrew’s accuser Ms Giuffre.

Ms Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against Andrew in 2021 and the case was settled for an estimated £12million the following year.

Meanwhile, further documents from the Epstein files today revealed testimony from a another woman who claimed that both Andrew and Epstein ‘abused her terribly’.

She alleged in a statement to the FBI that she was trafficked to the paedophile financier and then used by him and Andrew.

The woman, who has not been identified said in her July 2020, submission: ‘I have been trafficked to Epstein. He and Andrew have dragged me through hell and back.

‘They tore me and hurt the very soul of me. He became a controller and sexually abused me.

‘He was friends with Andrew, who did the same thing.’

She claimed to have been abused between 1996 and 2018.

It comes as Sir Keir Starmer tonight called on Andrew to testify before the US Congress following the disclosure of three million new Epstein documents. 

The Prime Minister said victims ‘have to be the first priority’ and that ‘anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever form they are asked to do that’.

He added that a ‘victim-centred’ approach was why Andrew should co-operate fully and provide information ‘in whatever form’ he is requested.

Other revelations that emerged yesterday include the accusation that Andrew invited Epstein to dinner at Buckingham Palace days after his house arrest ended. 

He promised ‘lots of privacy’ to the paedophile shortly after he was granted his freedom following a conviction for soliciting a minor.

In the astonishing email, from September 2010, Epstein requested ‘private time’ while on a visit to London, to which Andrew replied: ‘We could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.’

It is not clear if the offer was taken up. But just two days later, the pair were back in email contact, with Epstein asking the then-prince ‘g [Ghislaine Maxwell] is here with me…what are you doing?’

Andrew replied to say he had a ‘lunch with a Saudi Prince and then out to secret intelligence firm’, before telling Epstein: ‘Delighted for you to come here to BP [Buckingham Palace]. Come with whomever and I’ll be here free from 1600ish.’

The exchange came during what must have been one of Epstein’s first sojourns outside the US, having served a 13-month sentence for sex crimes mostly in his Palm Beach mansion following a sweetheart plea deal with prosecutors.

The previous month, Epstein had offered to set up a dinner for Andrew with a ‘clever, beautiful and trustworthy’ 26-year-old Russian woman, saying: ‘She has your email.’

The prince, who would have been 50 at the time, replied that he would be ‘delighted to see her’. And he cheerfully asked the convicted child sex predator, whose house arrest had finished just days earlier: ‘Good to be free?’

There are also new emails relating to Sarah, formerly the Duchess of York, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie – including pictures of them from Andrew’s electronic Christmas cards.

Several emails refer to the well-chronicled debts of Sarah – who took money from Epstein to help pay them off. One email sent in August 2009 shows her thanking him for being ‘the brother I have always wished for’.

In another email, Ms Ferguson calls Epstein ‘my dear spectacular and special friend’ and ‘a legend’.

Epstein’s madam – and Andrew’s long-term friend – Maxwell is also heavily referenced in the documents. In one email to Andrew, she joked that ‘five stunning redheads’ would now have to ‘play with ourselves’ because the former duke had said he should spend time with his children instead of visiting ‘the Island’, thought to be Epstein’s private property in the US Virgin Islands.

The email exchange – in which Andrew calls himself ‘The Invisible Man’ – from August 2002 reveals the prince begging Maxwell’s forgiveness if he turns down her offer and holidays with his family instead.

She replies, ‘I will not be remotely offended’, but then jokes that a woman whose name was redacted ‘who is now coming and five other stunning redheads will all just have to play with ourselves’.

Elsewhere in the files, a 25-year-old masseuse said to have worked for Epstein in 1999 said she ‘didn’t feel good’ about being asked to massage Andrew – because she thought she was being asked ‘to do more’.

The unnamed woman submitted a statement to a private investigations team in 2021 that was sent to Maxwell’s defence team, the files show. She said: ‘I was only involved with Jeffrey for a year.

‘I never saw him like a creepy guy. There were never any young girls. I saw Prince Andrew and Donald Trump. [Epstein] wanted me to give Prince Andrew a massage, but I didn’t feel good about that. I wonder if he was offering me to him to do more.’

Andrew and President Trump have consistently denied any wrongdoing.
