Jeffrey Epstein organised for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to have dinner with a 26-year-old Russian woman in London in 2010, according to newly-released emails.
In a message sent to a contact saved as ‘The Duke’, the paedophile financier wrote: ‘I have a friend who i think you might enjoy having dinner with’ her name is irina she will be london 20-24 [sic].’
In response, the man who is believed to be Andrew, said: ‘Of course. I am in Geneva until the morning of 22nd but would be delighted to see her.
‘Will she be bringing a message from you? Please give her my contact details to get in touch.’
The email, among millions of documents relating to the Epstein case published by the US Department of Justice today, was signed off ‘HRH The Duke of York KG’.
Epstein later described the woman as ’26, russian, clevere [sic] beautiful and trustworthy’.
Other messages suggest that Andrew invited Epstein to have dinner with him at Buckingham Palace in 2010.
The disgraced former Prince appeared to say the pair could meet at the royal residence after the convicted sex trafficker asked for ‘private time’.
At the time, Epstein had already spent time in prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

‘I am just departing Scotland should be down by 1800. I’ll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring,’ the contacted listed as The Duke wrote.
‘Alternatively we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy. A.’
Andrew was later pictured with Epstein in Central Park in New York in December 2010.
The former royal has always denied allegations of wrongdoing regarding his association with Epstein.
Other documents released today show Ghislaine Maxwell joked ‘five stunning red heads’ would now have to ‘play with ourselves’ after agreeing ‘Andrew’ should spend time with his kids instead of visiting an island with her.
The email exchange between an address named ‘The Invisible Man’ and Maxwell in August 2002 show the pair talking about organising a weekend together.
After listing a series of places he is visiting, the man believed to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, declines the invite, only for Maxwell to suggest that ‘5 stunning red heads’ would be there.
She says that these people would now ‘have to play with ourselves’, before adding she was ‘just kidding’ and that a name, which has been blanked out, would be coming to ‘the island’ instead.
During the exchange, Maxwell refers to the Invisible Man as ‘Andrew sweetheart’ and says she will ‘miss him’ and that she ‘loves him lots’.
The emails suggest the Invisible Man may be Andrew Mountbatten Windsor after Maxwell refers to him as Andrew and mentions his former wife’s name, while previous emails from the account have referred to having a valet and being at Balmoral for the Royal Family.

In an message signed ‘A’, he says: ‘As the planning is getting more difficult over the bank holiday weekend here I am thinking now I might join Sarah and the kids in Sotogrande for a few days which would be very important and a good thing for the girls, rather than trek across the pond.
‘Please will you give me permission to do so and I am conscious of the ‘better offer’ syndrome but in this case it wouldn’t be that… I think!’
In her reply dated August 24, 2002, Maxwell said ‘Andrew sweet heart – I fully understand if you want to spend time w/Sarah and the kids.
‘I will not be remotely offended – sad not to spend time w/you and sad not to see you but at this point w/precious holidays and few days off I agree that this idea of coming to the Island looks less appealing.’
In a follow-up email sent on August 25 2002 after The Invisible Man confirmed he would not be coming, Maxwell said: ‘No problem, (redacted), who is now coming and 5 other stunning red heads will all just have to play with ourselves.’
In a reply on August 27, The Invisible Man said: ‘Look forward to catching up with you before you disappear to some exotic place and please don’t catch anything nasty on your travels!
‘Masses of love and thanks, A xxx’
Andrew and his now ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
In another email addressed to The Invisible Man and sent on March 31, 2002, one day after the Queen Mother’s death, Maxwell refers to him as ‘sweat pea’, adding: ‘Sorry you had to rush home, and also under such sad circumstances.
‘However much the passing was to be expected in one so old, it does not make it any less sad.

In a separate email exchange released on Friday as part of the ‘Epstein Files’, a message to Jeffrey Epstein from an account on behalf of publicist Peggy Siegal reveals a private screening of The King’s Speech was being arranged for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in November 2010.
Colin Firth won the best actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Andrew’s grandfather George VI in the film.
The email from a woman called Stephanie was sent to a redacted address and forwarded to Epstein on November 3 2010.
Set out in four points, it said: ‘1. As per our phone conversation Prince Andrew will be in the states November 29th – December 5th.
‘2. We will get a print of the Kings Speech from Harvey Weinstein and have you host a very private, small, no press screening for Prince Andrew.
‘3. Here is a list of events for that week: Monday, November 29th is the Gotham Awards, Tuesday, November 30th is the Black Swan Premiere, Wednesday, December 1st is the All Good Things Premiere (sic). We can do it Thursday, December 2nd, 4th, or Sunday, December 5th.
‘4. Tell Prince Andrew the film and Colin Firth who portrays his grandfather is going to win the Oscar.
‘Xoxo, Peggy.’
Paedophile financier Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York, in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
His death was ruled a suicide.
Andrew has faced allegations, which he strenuously denies, that he sexually assaulted a teenage Virginia Giuffre after she was trafficked by Epstein.
He paid millions to Ms Giuffre, a woman he has claimed never to have met, to settle a civil sexual assault claim in 2022.
Andrew stepped down from royal duties in 2019 after an interview on BBC Newsnight, but the publication of Ms Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, and the US government’s release of documents from Epstein’s estate, brought more scrutiny over his relationship with the financier.
It led to the King officially stripping his disgraced brother of both his HRH style and his prince title.
