Police Scotland confirms 'active inquiries' into Andrew's Balmoral stays with Epstein and Maxwell amid claims women were trafficked there
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who Police Scotland says was present at Balmoral alongside convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell during the period now under active investigation.Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, whose visits to Balmoral are said to date to 1999, as Police Scotland describes its trafficking inquiry as at a "very early stage.
Police Scotland has confirmed it received fresh "information" and that active inquiries are now under way into visits by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to Balmoral — the King's private Aberdeenshire estate. The probe follows allegations that women were trafficked to the royal retreat, with US Department of Justice photos showing Andrew and Epstein on a Balmoral shooting trip.
Andrew, stripped of his royal titles and already under a separate misconduct-in-public-office probe, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Nine police forces across the UK are now running Epstein-linked investigations, though the NPCC confirmed there is no single national inquiry.
A cryptic 2001 email signed 'A' — released in the Epstein files — asked Maxwell from 'Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family' to find 'new inappropriate friends.'
