Police face mounting pressure to investigate Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following explosive allegations that women were flown into Britain aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet and secretly brought into Buckingham Palace using a coded system.
The disgraced financier’s Boeing 727-100 aircraft landed approximately 90 times in the United Kingdom, including visits after his 2008 conviction for child sex offenses, according to newly released Epstein Files.
Stansted Airport allegedly served as a transfer point where victims moved between different Epstein aircraft, multiple media reports have highlighted.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has labeled the situation “by far the biggest scandal of all” and called on Scotland Yard to open a criminal investigation into the former Duke of York.
Brown stated the probe should extend beyond potential misconduct in public office and breach of the Official Secrets Act, per reports.
Brown revealed he was told privately that investigations related to Andrew did not properly examine vital evidence regarding flights. He emphasized that the Stansted revelations alone require authorities to interview Andrew.
New claims suggest at least one Epstein victim arrived in Britain aboard the financier’s plane and was subsequently taken to meet Andrew at Buckingham Palace. The former royal allegedly instructed staff saying “Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly, please let her in and show her up.”
Sources indicate multiple women were brought to see Andrew at his late parents’ London residence using identical coded requests, with no security clearance required. Andrew has been connected to four women in the Epstein Files, in addition to Virginia Giuffre.
Previous reporting disclosed how Epstein brought a young Romanian model to a private dinner at Buckingham Palace with Andrew. Epstein claimed the royal found her “beautiful,” adding “No man looks at your clothes, they see through them.”
Andrew also hosted Epstein and a Russian model named Vera for dinner at Buckingham Palace during a London visit. The financier additionally offered to introduce him to a 26-year-old Russian woman called “Irina” in August 2010, according to media reports.
The latest reports indicate a potential fourth woman may have been brought in using the Mrs Windsor designation. Virginia Giuffre’s allegations about being forced into sexual encounters with Andrew appear in FBI documents, though her identity is redacted in the released files.
The Epstein Files document extensive landing patterns of the financier’s private jet across British airports. The Daily Mail reported that flight logs show arrivals at Stansted and Heathrow, along with smaller airports throughout southern England.
Brown stated women were transferred between Epstein aircraft at the Essex hub. Flight records showed unnamed passengers listed simply as “female” alongside unidentified male passengers.
Brown explained he asked the Metropolitan Police to urgently reconsider their decision-making process. He noted the emails provide graphic details about how Epstein utilized Stansted Airport to transport women from Latvia, Lithuania and Russia.
Writing in the New Statesman, Brown stated British authorities had minimal knowledge about who was being trafficked through the country and for whose benefit beyond Epstein. He requested police examine this matter as part of a new inquiry.
Brown also highlighted email chains discussing logistics for registering trafficked women in English-as-a-foreign-language courses as a pathway to obtaining US visas. He emphasized the need to determine if similar activities occurred in the UK.
Former victims’ commissioner Dame Vera Baird urged police to properly investigate Andrew. The Member of Parliament leading the Commons Women and Equalities Committee stated Andrew must answer to both police and Parliament.
Insiders revealed Andrew had numerous women visit him at Buckingham Palace, where he maintained an office. One source described how he would contact the duty office with the same message about Mrs Windsor arriving, always using discreet staff entrances.
The practice occurred so frequently that staff would simply acknowledge the request without question. Sources indicated this pattern continued for years.
Royal protection officers reportedly disliked being assigned to Andrew due to his unpleasant and dismissive behavior. Another source characterized Buckingham Palace security as less stringent than commonly believed.
