Newly released US Justice Department files reveal August 2010 emails between Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew. The correspondence suggests Epstein offered to introduce the Duke to a 26-year-old Russian woman described as "clever" and "beautiful." Andrew replied he would be "delighted" to meet her after returning from Geneva. The documents also detail discussions regarding a private dinner at Buckingham Palace, further illuminating the Duke's continued association with the sex offender years after Epstein's conviction.
