A seemingly innocuous request – “add one more” – sent via email at 6:41 PM on September 27, 2010, unlocked a disturbing sequence of events leading to Buckingham Palace. The sender was Jeffrey Epstein, and the recipient, then-Duke Andrew. The “one more” referred to a young Romanian model, described simply as “very cute.”
Epstein’s orchestration was meticulous. He arranged for the model to meet Ghislaine Maxwell at her Belgravia home before a discreet drive to the palace. The dinner, hosted by Andrew, included three other women identified only as Sarah, Sue, and Vera – an intimate gathering just over a year after Epstein’s release from prison for soliciting a minor.
The following morning, an email arrived from the model, expressing gratitude for a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Epstein’s reply was chillingly casual, referencing a pre-dinner hesitation about her jeans. He wrote, “Andrew thought beautiful. No man looks at your clothes, they see through them.”
A brief exchange followed: Epstein to Andrew, “Great fun, more later.” Andrew’s eager response: “Yes please!” These words, now unearthed, paint a disturbing picture of a clandestine arrangement and a willingness to repeat it.
Details of Epstein’s involvement with the model extend beyond that single night. Records suggest he provided financial support, covering her rent and dental bills while she was a student in Bucharest. He even leveraged his connections, securing her a job opportunity through a prominent businessman.
Epstein presented the model to the businessman as a “good friend, former high fashion model… anxious to start a real job.” He confidently predicted her success, showcasing his ability to manipulate and control the lives of those around him.
Later, in a revealing email from October 2010, Epstein berated the model, referencing the Buckingham Palace dinner. He lamented her deviation from his “strong suggestions,” recalling the night as “easy” and “perfect,” where her appearance was irrelevant. He offered help, but only after she demonstrated self-reliance.
The newly revealed details have ignited calls for a renewed investigation. A royal author argues there are “strong grounds” for police to reopen their case, emphasizing the existence of visitor logs and the need for scrutiny of security protocols at royal residences.
This case adds to the growing number of allegations surrounding Andrew and his association with Epstein. Another police probe is already underway, examining claims that Epstein sent a woman to the UK for a sexual encounter at Royal Lodge – the first such allegation involving a royal residence.
While merely appearing in the released Epstein files isn’t proof of wrongdoing, the pattern of connections and the disturbing nature of the communications are raising serious questions. The model herself has not responded to inquiries about whether she was a victim, leaving a crucial piece of the puzzle unanswered.
