LONDON — The wall of silence surrounding the disgraced former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has fractured once again.
On Sunday, as a massive new cache of Department of Justice files continues to circulate, a second victim of the late Jeffrey Epstein has come forward with explosive claims. According to her legal team, the woman—identified only as an anonymous survivor in current filings—alleges she was flown to the United Kingdom specifically for the purpose of having sex with the man formerly known as Prince Andrew.
The claim, made public by lawyers representing several Epstein survivors, mirrors the landmark allegations brought by the late Virginia Giuffre, who settled her own sexual assault lawsuit against the Duke of York in 2022. This new testimony, however, threatens to dismantle the “isolated incident” defense long maintained by the former prince’s legal camp.
The ‘London Pipeline’ Allegations
The accuser’s lawyer, Spencer Kuvin, stated that his client’s testimony provides a “direct link” to Epstein’s habit of using young women as “currency” for his powerful friends.
The new allegations center on a trip to London in the early 2000s, during which the victim claims she was groomed by Ghislaine Maxwell and presented to Andrew at a private residence.
“The recent documents only confirm what the victims have been saying all along,” Kuvin said in a statement on Sunday. “The absence of a formal ‘client list’ is not the same thing as proof that no third parties participated. We have direct testimony of victims being provided as favors.”
A Weekend of Revelations
The new claims are part of a broader “tsunami” of evidence released by the DOJ this weekend. The thousands of pages of unredacted files have already produced several “smoking gun” moments for the former royal:
- The ‘Kneeling’ Photos: Images purportedly from the DOJ files appear to show Andrew on his hands and knees, leaning over an unidentified woman on a floor.
- The Russian Invitation: Emails show Epstein offering to set Andrew up on a dinner date with a “trustworthy” 26-year-old Russian woman.
- The Palace Invite: Documents suggest Andrew invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace in 2010—two years after Epstein’s first conviction for soliciting a minor.
Prime Ministerial Pressure
The resurgence of the scandal has reached the highest levels of British government. Speaking from Japan on Saturday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer took the rare step of publicly urging Andrew to cooperate with U.S. investigators.
“I have always approached this question with the victims of Epstein in mind,” Starmer told reporters. “In terms of testifying, I’ve always said anybody who’s got information should be prepared to share that information… You can’t be victim-centered if you’re not prepared to do that.”
| Key Development | Status / Detail |
| New Accuser | Claims she was trafficked to the UK specifically for Andrew. |
| DOJ Files | 6 million pages released; include photos and emails. |
| Royal Status | Titles stripped by King Charles III in 2025; now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. |
| Legal Threat | U.S. House Oversight Committee requesting a “transcribed interview.” |
The Endgame for Andrew?
Following King Charles III’s “nuclear option” of stripping Andrew of his remaining titles and the Duke of York styling late last year, the former prince has been increasingly isolated. He is reportedly facing an imminent eviction from Royal Lodge in Windsor, with plans to relocate to a smaller property on the Sandringham Estate.
While Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and settled Giuffre’s case without an admission of liability, the emergence of a second witness claiming a similar “trafficking route” to the UK puts his 2019 claim that he “never met” these women under impossible strain.
As lawyers for the survivors prepare to push for unredacted FBI files and further testimony, the “Birthright” Andrew once reportedly believed he possessed is being replaced by a much grimmer reality: the prospect of a forced deposition under the glare of a global stage.
