Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, stripped of all royal titles in October 2025 and evicted from Royal Lodge, now resides in internal exile on the Sandringham Estate. King Charles III’s unprecedented decision—removing even his birthright “Prince” status—came amid renewed scrutiny from the latest Jeffrey Epstein document releases, which detail the former royal’s deep connections to the convicted sex offender.
riate friends” via Ghislaine Maxwell from Balmoral in 2001, photographs of him hosting Epstein and Maxwell at royal residences, and U.S. prosecutorial notes indicating evidence of his presence during victim interactions and knowledge of recruitment for sex acts. Though no criminal charges have been filed against him, and he denies wrongdoing, the files have solidified his pariah status, excluding him from family events like Christmas at Sandringham.
Victim advocates and bipartisan lawmakers argue these disclosures are incomplete. Despite the Act’s December 19 deadline for full unredacted release (barring victim protections), the Justice Department has issued partial, heavily redacted batches—totaling hundreds of thousands of pages so far—while announcing over a million newly discovered documents requiring “weeks” more review. Critics, including Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), accuse the DOJ of delays and over-redactions, with some threatening contempt proceedings against Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Pressure is intensifying on President Trump, whose past friendship with Epstein features prominently in the files (including multiple flights on Epstein’s jet), to direct immediate full disclosure. Trump, who initially resisted the Act before signing it, has called the process a “distraction” but insists on compliance. As 2025 ends, calls grow louder for the remaining sealed materials—potentially containing uncharged co-conspirator details—to be unlocked, promising revelations that could further reshape perceptions of elite networks tied to Epstein’s crimes.
