A recently released legal letter claims that Prince Andrew, also known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein asked an exotic dancer to perform sexual acts at Epstein’s Florida residence.

The letter states that the dancer had been promised $10,000 to perform at the 2006 event but received only $2,000. Her lawyers said she was “treated like a prostitute” and had agreed to maintain confidentiality about the encounter in exchange for $250,000.

According to the document, the dancer and other women from Rachel’s Strip Club in West Palm Beach were transported to Epstein’s home. There, she was introduced to Prince Andrew and danced in minimal attire. The letter claims that both Epstein and Andrew then requested a threesome, which she refused, but she alleges they pressured her to engage in sexual activity.

The dancer was later invited to travel with Epstein and Andrew to the Virgin Islands, which she declined. The letter also notes that other women present at the event appeared to be very young, some as young as 14.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. He previously reached a financial settlement with Virginia Giuffre in 2022 over her civil claim, in which she alleged that he had sexually abused her as a teenager after being trafficked by Epstein.

The latest allegations come amid increasing pressure on Andrew to provide testimony regarding his relationship with Epstein. The most recent release of Epstein files by the US Department of Justice includes photographs showing Andrew kneeling over a fully clothed woman, which has drawn additional public attention.

UNB could not independently verify the claims, and Prince Andrew has not responded publicly to the specific allegations contained in the letter.
