Why Jeffrey Epstein Called Andrew Windsor Pimp And Fixer
The emails span years before and after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution.
In a 2019 interview, Mountbatten-Windsor emphasized that a December 2010 visit to Epstein’s New York mansion was intended to cut ties with the abuser.
“I went there for the sole purpose of telling him that it was inappropriate for us to see each other because he had been convicted,” he said. Andrew added: “I never had any contact with him again from that day on.”
But the newly disclosed emails appear to contradict this claim.
After a photo surfaced in 2011 of the former royal family with Epstein’s human trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre, he reassured Epstein in one note: “Don’t worry about me! It looks like we are in this together and we will have to rise above it!”
A source said: ‘The tone makes it clear that Epstein was not a peripheral figure. He intervened to manage issues, provide strategic advice and practical support.
“That’s why some observers call him Andrew’s fixer – and worse, even his pimp.”
There are repeated examples of Epstein arranging trips, handling introductions and positioning himself as the point of contact when problems arose.
Emails show Epstein arranging accommodations for Andrew’s police protection officers in New York, arranging cars and coordinating schedules.
During an exchange prior to the December 2010 trip, Andrew asked Epstein, “What kind of clothes should I bring? That is, should I bring something for the heat in case we go south, or will it all be in New York, so therefore COLD.”
Epstein also traded on Andrew’s status.
“Prince Andrew will be at my house all week,” Epstein wrote in an invitation to employees.
One legal expert said: ‘When you see someone repeatedly using proximity to a royal family to cultivate others, while at the same time providing them with logistical and reputational cover, the word ‘fixer’ begins to seem inadequate.
“The claim from critics is that Epstein operated as a gatekeeper to women and wealth.”
Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 66, also appears in the emails released by officials expressing gratitude for Epstein’s help on business matters.
In 2009, she wrote, “Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I always wanted.”
In another post, she said: “You are a legend. I truly have no words to describe my love and gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.”
Epstein also wrote “I’m happy to pay” regarding administrative costs for one of her businesses.
