Document text
Being named is not a finding of wrongdoing. This page documents that a person was named — by Rep. Massie or in the sources cited below — not that any allegation against them has been proven. Several people in this collection deny wrongdoing, have not been charged with a crime, or (per available reporting) have no documented connection at all. Read the citations, not just the headline.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew)
Named by Rep. Thomas Massie among 14 people in an Aug. 31, 2026 House floor speech on Jeffrey Epstein — see Massie's 14. Naming is not a charge; see that page for what the speech does and doesn't establish.
What's documented
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York — met Jeffrey Epstein in 1999 through Ghislaine Maxwell and remained connected to him for two decades, including a widely reported 2010 visit to New York after Epstein's 2008 conviction that Andrew later said was meant to end the friendship (Giuffre v. Prince Andrew — Wikipedia). Virginia Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit against him in August 2021 under New York's Child Victims Act, alleging Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to have sexual encounters with Andrew on three occasions in 2001, when she was 16–17 years old — allegations Andrew's lawyers said he "unequivocally" denied (BBC; NBC News). The case settled in February 2022 before trial, for an amount that was not officially disclosed but that press reports at the time estimated at roughly £12 million ($15 million), with part reportedly directed to Giuffre's anti-trafficking charity; Andrew made no admission of liability (New York Post). He has since given up his HRH style and military affiliations amid the continuing fallout.
[VERIFY: the exact settlement figure remains formally undisclosed and is reported here only as
press estimate, not confirmed amount; a 2026 report of an arrest "over suspected misconduct in
public office" was found in a single source gathered for this entry and is noted but not
independently corroborated.]
