New claim Epstein sent woman to UK to have sex with Andrew is under police review | BBC News
Police are reviewing new allegations that Jeffrey Epstein sent a woman to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the UK, for a sexual encounter at his residence, the Royal Lodge in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The woman was in her twenties at the time. Her lawyer, Brad Edwards, whose US law firm has been representing Epstein victims since 2008, said that after spending the night with Mountbatten-Windsor, the woman says she was given tea and a tour of Buckingham Palace.
A UK police spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes. We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures. We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward.”
In 2014, the late Virginia Giuffre became the first woman to publicly accuse Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of similar encounters. She alleged that as a 17-year-old she was trafficked by Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, and forced to have sex with Andrew – a claim he continues to deny.
Mountbatten-Windsor is facing more questions over his relationship with Epstein after release of the latest tranche of documents relating to the late sex offender.
Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, are also repeatedly mentioned in the files. The former Duchess of York praises the convicted sex offender as the “brother I have always wished for” in email exchanges and writes to Epstein: “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness.”

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has announced plans to expand the country’s nuclear arsenal at ‘an exponential rate’, according to state media reports.
His announcement comes as China’s president, Xi Jinping, is making his first visit to Pyongyang this week since 2019 – the same year Donald Trump met Kim Jong Un several times for failed talks on denuclearisation.
We speak to the BBC’s Celia Hatton about why China might now be trying to keep North Korea in check.

Trump says deal to end war with Iran already signed and details released ‘pretty soon’ | BBC News
The deal to end the war has already been signed electronically by the US and Iran, and details of the Memorandum of Understanding will be released publicly in “24 to 48 hours”, a US official said.
US President Donald Trump said a formal signing ceremony, attended by Vice-President JD Vance, will happen in Switzerland on Friday.
Trump said the deal includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports.
A senior US official said that Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon is not part of the deal. A spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said ending the conflict in Lebanon is a pivotal part of the framework agreement Iran and the US reached.
Oil prices have fallen and shares risen after the US and Iran said they had agreed a framework deal to end the war.
Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, dropped more than 5% to $82.84 (£61.70) a barrel, while global stock markets rose.
