Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor told Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell I can't take any more of this when he was first alerted 14 years ago that a British newspaper was about to run a report about the trio.
His email conversation with the U.S.-based pair was among documents from the estate of the convicted sex offender Epstein that were released on Wednesday, including some mentioning Donald Trump.
The former prince's response came after he was forwarded a right-of-reply email that the Mail on Sunday had sent Maxwell in March 2011, which made numerous claims about Andrew.
According to files released on Wednesday, Andrew's reply reads: What's all this? I don't know anything about this! You must SAY so please. This has NOTHING to do with me. I can't take any more of this.
The latest release comes after Andrew was requested by Democrats in U.S. Congress to answer questions as part of its investigation into Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking offences.
Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, told BBC Two's Newsnight that Andrew had not yet responded to the Committee's invitation to testify before the committee.
He said the former prince doesn't have to get on a plane to testify, he can do it remotely.
Virginia Giuffre - a prominent accuser of Jeffrey Epstein - alleged Andrew had sex with her three times as a teenager.
Andrew, who has denied the allegations, reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022, which contained no admission of liability or apology.
He was stripped of all his titles earlier this month after Giuffre's posthumous memoir threw new focus on Andrew's ties to Epstein and Maxwell.
Trump mentioned in emails
Three emails from the Epstein estate, released by Democrats on the Congressional House Oversight Committee, indicate that Trump was mentioned several times by Epstein in emails exchanged with Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.
One email from Epstein to Maxwell, sent in April 2011, claims that Trump spent hours at Epstein's house with a person whose name was redacted.
The White House later said the unnamed victim referenced was Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year. In a statement, the White House said Giuffre repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever.
Within hours, House Republicans then released thousands more documents to counter what they said was a Democratic effort to cherry-pick documents. The office of House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said the House would hold that vote next week.
Epstein on Andrew photo
The latest files shed further light on the relationship between Andrew and Epstein, with one email appearing to confirm a photograph of Andrew with his arm around a 17-year-old Giuffre was real.
Andrew said in his 2019 Newsnight interview that he had no recollection of that photo being taken and has suggested it might be fake.
The email goes on to say that the masseuse and another girl were directed to sit on Andrew's knee in Epstein's New York flat, and that he groped both girls. It states she was directed to participate in an orgy with Andrew at Little St James - Epstein's private Caribbean island.
Mandelson in contact in 2016
Lord Mandelson also appears in the newly released documents, which show he had contact with Epstein as late as 2016. Epstein sent him an email shortly after Mandelson's birthday in which he remarked, 63 years old. You made it.
The new documents include an email from Epstein to Lord Mandelson on 6 November 2016. Mandelson was sacked as the UK's ambassador to the U.S. in September over his links to Epstein. He declined to comment on the emails when approached.
