Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward
Duke of York, Epstein Associate
Former Senior Member of British Royal Family
Overview
Prince Andrew is the Duke of York and third child of the late Queen Elizabeth II. He maintained a close friendship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein spanning decades. Virginia Giuffre alleged she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to have sexual encounters with Andrew when she was 17. He settled the civil lawsuit for an estimated $12-16 million while denying wrongdoing, was stripped of his royal duties and military titles, and remains one of the most high-profile associates of the Epstein trafficking network who has never faced criminal accountability.
