    Newly released Epstein files have revealed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was on a 2025 list of 'prominent names' accused of sexual abuse put together by the FBI.

    While Jeffrey Epstein died in August 2019 after being found unresponsive in his New York jail cell, investigations into the disgraced financier didn't stop there.

    If anything, Epstein has become one of the most talked about people in the world in recent years amid President Donald Trump's promises to release all the files the US Department of Justice has on him and their investigations.

    The Trump administration has since released files in dribs and drabs over the last 12 months, with the more recent slew of files making up to be 3,000,000 pages.

    In one file is an email shared between FBI personnel that detailed people that were part of an FBI PowerPoint that listed 'prominent names' linked to Epstein.

    Each name had a small bio below it detailing the allegations about them.

    In Andrew's case, it was stated that a victim said: "[Ghislaine] Maxwell told her to make Prince Andrew happy by doing 'exact same things to him that she did for Epstein because he is good friends with Maxwell'."

    It was also said that American broadcaster Steve Scully 'witnessed Prince Andrew on Epstein's Island grinding against a young girl'.

    In a third accusation, a redacted name said that the Queen Elizabeth's son and Epstein had 'orgies' on the financier's plane.

    UNILAD have approached reps for Andrew, who has always denied any wrongdoing, on the matter.

    Shortly after the new files were released on January 30 it was announced that Andrew had officially left his Windsor home — where he's lived for over 20 years — for his new one on the Royal Family's Sandringham Estate.

    It was known the former prince would be moving out of Royal Lodge in the new year and the development is not thought to be linked to the latest revelations in the Epstein papers.

    Andrew still has the lease for his Windsor property until October but it is understood he has made the substantive part of his move to his new home.

    However, it may take some weeks to complete and the former prince is likely to be seen at Royal Lodge on occasion.
