Testimony Politics
When US First Lady Melania Trump stepped forward to deny any meaningful association with Jeffrey Epstein while simultaneously calling for congressional hearings for his victims, she did more than issue a personal clarification.
Following fresh claims that a woman entered the UK on sex offences convict Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet and was smuggled into Buckingham Palace, there are renewed demands for the British police to initiate a sex trafficking investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
A report in the Daily Mail on Friday claimed that the woman was smuggled into Buckingham Palace using the codename ‘Mrs Windsor’ and the destination was Mr Andrew.

The report said, quoting revelations in the Epstein Files, that the sex offender’s private jet, a Boeing 727-100, landed in the UK over 90 times. The UK trips happened even after the 2008 conviction of Epstein for child sex offences.
It has been alleged that the sex trafficking victims were mostly transferred from one plane to another at one of the UK’s busiest airports, Stansted.
Among the leading voices calling for a probe into former Prince Andrew’s conduct was former prime minister Gordon Brown, who dubbed it ‘by far the biggest scandal of all’.
Brown said Scotland Yard must immediately start a comprehensive criminal probe into the former Duke of York, and not just look into misconduct in public life and breach of the Official Secrets Act.
“The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew. I have been told privately that the investigations related to the former Prince Andrew did not properly check vital evidence of flights,” the former PM said as per reports.
The revelations come close on the heels of Andrew’s name surfacing in the latest batch of Epstein files, with images apparently showing him leaning over an unidentified woman in what appeared to be Epstein’s New York mansion.
The latest tranche of files also showed Andrew had invited Epstein to meet him at Buckingham Palace after the child sex offender was released from house arrest.
