The late Queen Elizabeth II was among Jeffrey Epstein’s “clients”, according to claims in newly-released Epstein emails.

One of approximately 23,000 documents from the Epstein estate made public by the House Oversight Committee last week reveals that Nobel Prize-winning scientist Murray Gell-Mann said he was “under the impression that Epstein’s clients include the Queen of England”.

“Both [Martin] Nowak and [Alan Morton] Dershowitz were thrilled to find themselves shaking the hand of a man named ‘Andrew’ in Epstein’s house,” the document states, referencing the Austrian-born mathematics and biology professor at Harvard University and the American lawyer and law professor, respectively.

“‘Andrew’ turned out to be Prince Andrew, who subsequently arranged to sit in the back of Dershowitz’s law class.”

The documents also contain allegations that Epstein offered financial guidance to the late Queen. Another file from the Epstein estate, released by the House Oversight Committee last week, indicates Mr Gell-Mann said he “understood that Epstein had given the Queen financial advice”.

His name also appeared in Epstein’s so-called “black book” of personal addresses listing his close contacts.

The same Epstein file reveals that at the turn of the millennium, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell – who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with Epstein – “were hardly ever apart, enjoying eight different jaunts together in the space of a year”.

According to the document, they vacationed together in Palm Beach, attended a New York fashion show and went to a fundraiser for the London Symphony Orchestra in the city a month later.

“In the autumn, Andrew flew to New York, where he and Ghislaine were spotted together,” the file said, adding that just before Christmas, “Andrew gave a house party at Sandringham to mark Ghislaine’s 39th birthday”.

They then vacationed together again in Phuket, Thailand, in January 2001.

“What was going on? Was it a romance? No, said informed sources. Because on at least five of the eight occasions when Andrew and Ghislaine were together, Jeffrey Epstein was there as well.”

Multiple documents also showed that Andrew had extended invitations to both Epstein and Maxwell for the late Queen’s birthday celebration in 2000. One document stated that in 2000, “Epstein had been invited to Windsor Castle to celebrate the queen’s birthday.

“Six months later, Epstein flew to Sandringham, the queen’s estate in Norfolk, England, for a party Prince Andrew threw for Ghislaine’s thirty-ninth birthday.”

The Express reached out to Buckingham Palace and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s representatives for a statement. Buckingham Palace chose not to comment and the Express did not receive a response from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

This disclosure arrives as US President Donald Trump declared on Thursday (November 20) that he had approved legislation mandating the disclosure of Epstein-related documents by the US Justice Department.

“I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” he posted on Truth Social on Thursday, before asserting that the Democrats had “used” the matter to divert attention from his party’s “AMAZING Victories”.

This follows the Senate advancing the proposed bill to the president for signature, after it passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday with a tally of 427 supporting and one opposing, cast by prominent Trump ally, Republican Representative Clay Higgins of Louisiana. He contended that making the information public could expose and endanger “thousands of innocent people” who may have spoken with investigators regarding accusations against Epstein.

The Justice Department now has a 30-day window to publicly disclose all information from federal investigations into Epstein. However, it can withhold files that pertain to active criminal investigations or those considered an invasion of personal privacy.
