Andrew’s alleged emails to Ghislaine Maxwell in Jeffrey Epstein files requested 'inappropriate friends'

Prince Andrew stripped of titles, evicted from Royal Lodge Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich breaks down the royal family drama on Fox & Friends Weekend. Newly released files related to Jeffrey Epstein show that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew , allegedly asked Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell whether she had found him "new inappropriate friends" in an email sent while he was staying at the royal family’s Balmoral estate. In the latest document release by the Department of Justice, the Aug. 16, 2001 email states, "I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family," according to the BBC, referring to the royal family’s private Scottish estate. "Activities take place all day and I am totally exhausted at the end of each day.

Two days later, the sender behind "The Invisible Man" emailed again, this time describing personal turmoil following the sudden death of his longtime valet. "Distraught! You probably wouldn’t know but I lost my valet on Thursday. He died in his sleep," the email reads. "He had been with me since I was 2... now my whole life is in turmoil as I have no one to look after me." The message ends with the line: "See you real soon... I hope if you are coming over."
