Prince Andrew was warned that his association with Jeffrey Epstein was damaging his reputation.

Despite Jeffrey Epstein's conviction for soliciting prostitution with a minor, he continued to maintain contact with Andrew Mountbatten. However, newly released documents have revealed that Epstein was advised to cut all ties with the former prince in order to protect his own image. The deceased financier, who was trying to repair his reputation, was warned that associating with Andrew could have disastrous consequences.

The communications between Epstein and PR firm Osborne & Partners, which are part of a 20,000-page collection released by the Epstein estate, also reveal his attempts to distance himself from his convictions and highlight his supposed "philanthropic work." One memo, written in 2011 - almost two years after his release from jail - offers advice on reputation management and specifically mentions his relationship with Andrew Windsor. This was around the same time that the two were photographed walking through Central Park together, just five months after Epstein's release.

The memo stresses the importance of avoiding any involvement with Andrew, as the press was using Epstein as a means to attack the prince and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. It also mentions a need to "clean up" search engine results, which were dominated by references to Epstein's charges and unflattering stories. The PR firm had hired a team of Israeli experts to handle this task, emphasizing their success in optimizing results for other clients.

The document also includes a step-by-step guide on how to restore Epstein's public image. However, despite these efforts, Andrew Mountbatten's association with Epstein eventually led to him being stripped of his titles and removed from Royal Lodge. The former prince has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct and claims to have never even met his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, who tragically took her own life in April 2022. In the same year, he reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre, who had accused him of forcing her to have sex with him on three occasions.

It is clear that Andrew's ties to Epstein were a major source of concern and damage control for both parties involved. The released documents offer a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes efforts to repair Epstein's reputation and protect Andrew's image. It remains to be seen how this scandal will continue to unfold and impact those involved.
