The Daily Telegraph follows with details from an email in 2010 between Epstein and an account named “The Duke”, which appears to be linked to Mountbatten-Windsor. The message suggested Epstein wanted to introduce “A” to a “beautiful” 26-year-old Russian woman. The paper reports that the email was signed “A”, with what appears to be an email signature that reads “HRH Duke of York KG”. The BBC has not been able to independently verify their authorship. The BBC has contacted Mountbatten-Windsor, who previously denied all wrongdoing related to Epstein.
