Newly released emails show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor vouched for Jeffrey Epstein during a 2010 UK state visit to the United Arab Emirates with Queen Elizabeth II. An email sent from “The Duke” to Epstein on 24 November 2010 carried the subject “Abdullah”, an apparent reference to the UAE foreign minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

“You are in big time,” the Duke wrote. “He thinks you are great and would like to introduce you to Sheikh Mohammed.” The date coincided with Mountbatten-Windsor’s trip to the UAE alongside his mother, the queen; his father, Prince Philip; and the then UK foreign secretary, William Hague.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was the crown prince of Abu Dhabi at the time. In 2022, he assumed the role of Abu Dhabi’s ruler and president of the UAE.
