Police probe Epstein visits to Balmoral with young women

Summarised from 3 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 2 Nov, 12:58 · Archive

Police Scotland is investigating Jeffrey Epstein's visits to Balmoral Castle with young women, including an alleged trafficking victim.

Police Scotland announced last week that it had opened an investigation into the conduct of Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell at the Royal Family's Scottish retreat. The inquiry was prompted by newly uncovered documents from the Epstein Files, a collection of more than three million records.

In a 2019 FBI interview, one of Epstein's alleged victims described how she and other young women, identified as travelling massage therapists, visited Balmoral on multiple occasions. The victim, whom Maxwell reportedly called her 'little sister', said she had travelled the world with Epstein. When questioned about other travelling massage therapists, the victim identified a woman whose name was redacted in the released documents as someone who 'came to Balmoral and Palm Beach a few times'.

The alleged victim said she had met Mr Mountbatten-Windsor several times but reported 'no strange experiences' during those encounters. According to the documents, Epstein was telling victims as late as 2019 to visit the Scottish castle. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has strongly denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Police Scotland said the inquiries are 'at a very early stage'.
