Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein flew a glamorous model to Balmoral to massage the former Duke of York, it was claimed last night.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is said to have personally welcomed Epstein, his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell and the 25-year-old model when they arrived at the castle in 1999 and entertained them with a picnic in the grounds of the 50,000-acre Scottish estate.
But in a series of astonishing comments, the woman, who was being groomed by Epstein to be one of his sex slaves, claimed she was told to massage Andrew during the visit. Speaking exclusively to The Mail on Sunday, she said she refused to do so, adding: ‘It felt weird and I didn’t want to.’
The revelation raises further questions about the disgraced former duke’s use of some of the Royal Family’s most cherished residences to entertain Epstein.
It comes after a photo emerged from the so-called ‘Epstein Files’ last month of Andrew sprawled across the laps of five elegantly dressed women during a ‘shooting weekend’ with Epstein and Maxwell in 2000 at Sandringham.
An aspiring model in New York, the woman, who had a troubled childhood, was sent by her agency to meet Epstein for what she was falsely told was an audition.
The financier, who was by then recruiting dozens of women and underage girls as sex slaves, put her up in an apartment in Manhattan’s Upper East Side and paid for her to train as a masseuse.
Now a mother in her 50s, the woman spent around a year in Epstein’s orbit.

For around three months her massage sessions with Epstein were sexually intimate. She believes he was grooming her to be pimped out to other men.
Epstein stopped requesting her massage services after she complained when one of his friends made it clear that he was expecting sex from her.
She says during this time she was also flown to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort and Epstein’s private island.
Royal author Andrew Lownie said last night: ‘That this young woman was flown to Balmoral raises questions about Andrew’s abuse of royal residences and the suspicion that courtiers turned a blind eye.’
Andrew did not respond to a request for comment and Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
