Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is continuing to come under fire due to his connection to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The former Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles and honors late last year by brother King Charles III, allegedly hosted a woman at Buckingham Palace who was abused by the late financier.
According to a Monday, June 8, BBC report, Sarah Kellen told the US House Oversight Committee that she and Epstein — who died in 2019 at age 66 — “went to Andrew’s private apartment at Buckingham Palace for dinner.”
“And we were at Princess Beatrice‘s party at Windsor Castle,” she added, per the BBC, who reported that she attended Beatrice’s 18th birthday party in 2006.
The former Duke of York, 66, has maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing in connection to Epstein, and Kellen said she did not witness “any inappropriate behaviour” from Andrew at the time.

The House Oversight Committee is conducting a congressional investigation into Epstein. Kellen, who was described as one of the late businessman’s former assistants, said she was “sexually and psychologically abused by Jeffrey Epstein for over a decade,” per the BBC.
She has since received compensation from Epstein’s estate from a fund established to provide financial relief to survivors.
Andrew was arrested on February 19, his birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office and was later released. The Thames Valley Police launched an inquiry into the father of two after it was reported that emails suggest the disgraced royal sent Epstein reports from a tour of Southeast Asia he took in 2010.
Buckingham Palace previously issued a statement regarding Andrew, saying, “The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct.”
“While the specific claims in question are for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police, we stand ready to support them as you would expect,” the statement continued.
“As was previously stated, Their Majesties’ thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse,” the statement concluded.
