Overview
- The Sun and the Mail on Sunday released what they say is a February 28, 2011 email reportedly sent from Prince Andrew’s official address bearing the automatic signature “HRH The Duke of York KG.”
- The message is reported to say, in part, “I am just as worried about you… it seems we are in this together… we will play again soon.”
- Coverage states the email was sent one day after a widely known photo of Andrew with then‑17‑year‑old Virginia Giuffre was published.
- The correspondence appears to undercut Andrew’s 2019 BBC statement that he had no contact with Jeffrey Epstein after December 2010.
- No independent authentication beyond tabloid reporting is cited, and no new legal proceedings have been reported, though articles note ongoing reputational damage and recall Andrew’s 2022 settlement with Giuffre without admission of wrongdoing.
