Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shamelessly pestered Jeffrey Epsteinto allow him to remain in his multi-million-pound residence while the offender was under house arrest following a prison sentence for child sexual abuse.

The former prince frequently sent the well-known sex offender numerous enthusiastic emails requesting to utilize the fallen financier’s high-end properties in Paris and New York.

He seemed to have reached out to Epstein for the use of his residences on behalf of the formerDuchess of York, the humiliating emails made public in the most recent batch of documents by US authorities reveal.

The messages reveal the former Duke of York, who lost his titles due to his association with Epstein, also used the billionaire’s private vehicles and chauffeurs during his visits.

Only six weeks after Epstein’s release, following a 13-month imprisonment for soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2009, Andrew reached out to him unexpectedly with the subject line ‘Paris,’ requesting a complimentary three-night stay.

Recognizing that it has been “far too long” since their last conversation, Andrew started with some casual conversation before writing: “I have to go to Paris this weekend, from 11am to 2pm on September 14th, and I remember that you have an apartment in Paris. I was just wondering if I could use it for the weekend?”

This is a private weekend, and I have already reserved a hotel room. However, if there’s any possibility that you would let me use your apartment, it would be very beneficial from several viewpoints.

He then states: ‘If this is either unsuitable or not accessible, I apologize for inquiring.’

The former sex offender, who was under house arrest at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, said ‘of course’ and then offered the royal use of his car and driver.

An enthusiastic Andrew replied, saying: “Dear J, many thanks for your kindness.”

Only a few months later, in November 2009, Andrew emailed Epstein, requesting once more to use his Paris apartment the upcoming weekend.

The purpose of my email is not solely to wish you a happy Thanksgiving, but I have just received notice that I will need to be in Paris during the weekend of December 4th to 6th.

“May I please stay in your lovely apartment once more?” he writes.

He subsequently sent a message to the child offender expressing gratitude for being permitted to reside in his ‘exceptional apartment’ in the French capital.

It remains uncertain how often Andrew visited the red-paneled house on the prestigious Avenue Foch.

The high-end apartment is where Peter Mandelson was photographed in his underwear, and it was also where numerous clips of Epstein receiving private dances from young women were filmed.

Nevertheless, there is no indication of improper behavior by the duke regarding the property.

Other emails indicate that his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson also used the sex offender’s extensive real estate portfolio.

In an email, following a message from Epstein about his birthday in February 2010, Andrew replies with another request, this time from Ms. Ferguson concerning his 21,000 square foot New York home.

Referring to ‘S’ – commonly used to denote M Ferguson in emails among the men – he writes: ‘PS. S asks: can she stay at your fantastic house in New York this week?’

The then-Prince Andrew also spent nine days at the 40-room, seven-story residence with Epstein later that year, when the two were famously photographed together in Central Park.

Epstein also seems to have organized lodging for Ms. Ferguson during a previous visit to New York.

On September 7, 2009, Epstein sent an email to his staff, copying Ms. Ferguson, stating: “Please arrange at least one apartment for Sarah Ferguson; she may need one for her staff as well.”

Ms. Ferguson also seemed to request that Epstein accommodate her goddaughter Laura McGowan, who was 22 at the time, stating that she “needs a place to stay in New York” in 2010.

In a subsequent message later that year, reportedly from the former duchess, it states, “A bed in one of those apartments I stayed in? Just a thought..”

Earlier discovered emails also revealed that Ms. Ferguson went to Epstein’s Palm Beach residence just five days after he was released from jail, accompanied by Beatrice and Eugenie.

In October of last year, the King removed all of Andrew’s remaining titles – even though the former Prince strongly denied any misconduct – and compelled him to leave his Windsor residence, Royal Lodge.

The newest disclosures are set to bring additional embarrassment to Andrew as demands for an inquiry into his actions grow stronger.

Buckingham Palace has stated it is ‘prepared to assist’ authorities in any inquiry concerning the former prince, while the King made an unusual statement conveying his ‘deep worry’ over the growing accusations against his sibling.

It emerges as investigators examine allegations that Andrew disclosed sensitive information to Epstein during his tenure as the UK’s trade representative.
