The royal firewall protecting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is crumbling. A second woman has emerged from the shadows, alleging she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to the UK specifically for a sexual encounter with the Queen’s second son inside the Royal Lodge.

This explosive new claim, detailed by US lawyer Brad Edwards, places the abuse at the very heart of the British monarchy. Unlike previous allegations centered on London townhouses or private islands, this accuser says she spent the night at Andrew’s official Windsor residence in 2010. The implications are devastating: a sex trafficking operation may have extended its reach into a royal home, followed by a surreal tour of Buckingham Palace the next morning.

"A Sincere and Real Apology"

The legal team for the victim—who was in her 20s at the time and is not British—has issued a direct challenge to King Charles III. They are demanding a "sincere and real apology" from the monarch himself to maintain any shred of credibility. "Andrew's power only existed because of his royal family," stated attorney Brittany Henderson. The message is clear: the institution that shielded him shares the burden of his alleged crimes.

The timeline is damning. The alleged encounter took place in 2010, two years *after* Epstein’s first conviction for soliciting a minor. This shatters Andrew’s long-standing defense that he cut ties with the financier after learning of his crimes. Instead, emails released by the US Department of Justice show a relationship that deepened, with Sarah Ferguson even describing Epstein as "the brother I never had" in 2009.

• The Buckingham Palace Tour: The victim alleges that after the encounter, she was given a VIP tour of the palace and served tea, a grotesque juxtaposition of abuse and royal privilege.
• The Ferguson Connection: New emails reveal Andrew’s ex-wife asked Epstein for £20,000 to pay rent and brought her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, to lunch with the convicted sex offender.
• Political Pressure: Prime Minister Keir Starmer has broken protocol to suggest Andrew should cooperate with US investigators, stating, "You can't be victim-centred if you're not prepared to share information."

The End of the Road

Andrew, stripped of his HRH title and military patronages in 2025, is now a man besieged. He thought the multi-million pound settlement with Virginia Giuffre had bought him silence, but the floodgates have opened. With over 3 million documents now public, the "Duke of Hazard" has nowhere left to hide.

This is no longer just about the fall of a prince; it is about the accountability of a crown. If the King refuses to address these allegations, he risks signaling that the monarchy is an institution where justice stops at the palace gates. For the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the silence from Windsor is as deafening as the crimes themselves.
