New Emails Reveal Prince Andrew’s Continued Ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Just when it seemed the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew couldn’t get any hotter, new revelations have emerged that cast fresh doubt on his 2019 interview with Emily Maitlis. According to The Sun on Sunday, an email allegedly written by Andrew to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein contained the chilling line, “We are in this together,” sent the day after a photo surfaced of Andrew embracing Virginia Giuffre in 2011.

During her landmark 2019 interview, Maitlis noted that Andrew claimed to have broken all contact with Epstein. At the time, he explained that ending the friendship by phone, text, or email would have been “dishonorable,” and described visiting Epstein in December 2010 to explain in person why he could no longer maintain the relationship. He emphasized the importance of doing this face-to-face as a matter of honor, even taking a walk with Epstein in Central Park—resulting in a widely circulated photograph.

The newly surfaced email, sent two months after Andrew claimed to have severed ties, suggests the relationship continued—and even implies a sense of “let’s have more fun.” Maitlis remarked on the impact of the revelation: “It makes you rewatch every ounce of that interview knowing that he lied about that. It sends shivers down my spine.”

She added that the email forces a reevaluation of the original interview, highlighting inconsistencies in Andrew’s tone, gaze, and explanations. While Maitlis did not comment on guilt, she emphasized her role as a journalist in asking the necessary questions and letting the evidence speak.

The implications extend beyond Andrew himself. The royal family now faces renewed scrutiny over his credibility and role, as longstanding honors and positions—such as his status as a Knight of the Garter—come under question. Maitlis reflected, “I would not want to be saying that to a convicted pedophile. It might all be well-meaning, but it is chilling.”

The story underscores the enduring reach of the Epstein scandal and its continuing impact on powerful figures, revealing that even years later, the full extent of Andrew’s connections—and the consequences—remain unresolved.
