New files suggest Andrew was on an FBI shortlist of “prominent names” flagged during the bureau’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, as GMB’s Ashna Hurynag reports
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was included on a list of “prominent names” in an FBI presentation related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, new documents show.
The presentation was believed to have been given by the FBI in 2025, and contains key details of the case, including a timeline, search warrants and some financial details.
It also includes a list of prominent figures with links to Epstein and the paedophile billionaire’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently in prison for offences including child sex trafficking.
Many allegations made about the high-profile names are of a sexual nature. However, these claims are all unverified.
A subheading for “Prince Andrew”, who lost his last remaining royal titles last year over the Epstein scandal, is included on the list.
The following claims are made about the disgraced former royal:
[Redacted] stated Maxwell told her to make Prince Andrew happy by doing “exact same things to him that she did for Epstein because he is good friends with Maxwell.”
[IT contractor] Steve Scully witnessed Prince Andrew on Epstein’s Island grinding against a young girl.
[Redacted] stated Prince Andrew and Epstein flew on Epstein’s plane and had orgies.
Andrew has vehemently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and has previously said he “did not see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction”.
ITV News has approached Andrew for comment.
It comes after emails released by the Department of Justice (DoJ) as part of its latest document dump suggest that an infamous photo showing Andrew standing with his arm around the waist of prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre is real.
The former Duke of York had previously questioned the validity of the image of him with Ms Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts.
Ms Giuffre sued the former royal, claiming he sexually assaulted her when she was 17 after she was trafficked by Epstein.
The former royal went on to pay millions to settle a civil sexual assault case against Ms Giuffre – a woman he claimed never to have met.

While Andrew settled the lawsuit without any admission of guilt or wrongdoing, his involvement in the scandal has continued to be a great source of embarrassment to the royal family.
It eventually led to Andrew being cast out as a working royal, and this week, he left his home on the Windsor Estate, having been ordered to leave the Royal Lodge last year.
On Thursday, Andrew’s brother, King Charles III, was heckled by a member of the public during a visit to Dedham, Essex.
The King made no response as the man asked: “Charles, Charles, have you pressurised the police to start investigating Andrew?”
Buckingham Palace has pointed to its statement issued in October last year saying that Charles and Queen Camilla “wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse”.
