This is because Epstein reportedly used his friendship with Andrew as a “negotiating tool” to build business relationships.
He could offer them something unique when trying to secure deals, such as a shooting weekend at Sandringham with Andrew.
“You know, the kudos of being able to have pictures of him sitting on the throne at Buckingham Palace or going up to Sandringham.
“It was a useful negotiating tool with other people, you know ‘I can arrange a shooting weekend up in Sandringham’. He was always leveraging everything.”
The email saw Andrew tell Epstein to “keep in close touch”.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and the accusations surrounding his previous friendship with Epstein.
