Following the release of the latest tranche of the Epstein files, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was swiftly banished from royal life and asked to vacate Royal Lodge. While some believe he has nothing left to lose, the former Prince is said to be on edge, dreading more damaging revelations. Now, it has emerged that he met with several young women during visits funded by taxpayers. To make matters worse, his former aide sent photos of Mountbatten-Windsor with the women to the disgraced financier, along with details of his schedule.

In emails released by the US Department of Justice, Mountbatten-Windsor's former staff and fixer, David Stern, allegedly forwarded the pictures to Epstein. As reported by The London Times, he also used the codeword 'P,' believed to be a derogatory word to describe the girls, in an email sent on September 1, 2011, ahead of London Fashion Week. He wrote, "London Fashion Week 16-20 September. Special Chinese catwalk on the 19th. Should I get tickets for you to review Chinese P?" Epstein replied, "You review for me so far, no candidate?" "Starting interviewing via Skype. Not JE style yet," a follow-up email from Stern read.

Some of the photos sent included Mountbatten-Windsor on a raft with a woman while on a UK government business trip in China. Another showed him at dinner sitting across a Chinese model, Miya Muqi. Referring to Murqi, Stern told Epstein on August 31, 2010, "We have dinner in Beijing on Sunday night with this P." It is believed that the disgraced financier arranged for the former Duke to meet with the women, breaching government protocol. However, these revelations come as little surprise, as Mountbatten-Windsor has breached government regulations before, by sharing confidential information as UK trade envoy with Epstein.

Unsurprisingly, Mountbatten-Windsor, who's infamous for his alleged 'weakness for women,' has listed the disgraced financier's help before. An email, released by the US Department of Justice, showed Epstein's involvement in looking to introduce the former Prince to a 26-year-old Russian woman. In response, 'The Duke' said he would be in Geneva "until the morning of the 22nd, but would be delighted to see her," before asking, "Please give her my contact details to get in touch." He also inquired whether there was "any other information you might know about her that might be useful to know?" Epstein then described the woman as "26, Russian, clever, beautiful, trustworthy."

Moreover, royal author Andrew Lownie has also pulled the curtains on such behavior. In his book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, he claimed that Mountbatten-Windsor once demanded more than 40 women in his hotel room. A witness quoted said, "Often, as soon as one left, another would arrive. Some days, more than 10 women are said to have gone to the Duke's hotel room." A former driver also alleged that Mountbatten-Windsor had affairs with over 12 women before his and Sarah Ferguson's first wedding anniversary.
