An email sent from an individual named A, saying they are at Balmoral and asking Ghislaine Maxwell for inappropriate friends, is among the latest tranche of Epstein files released on Tuesday.
The message, sent to Maxwell on 16 August 2001, begins: I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family. Later in the email, the sender asks: How's LA? Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? before signing off see ya A xxx.
Balmoral Castle is a royal residence.
The emails do not indicate any wrongdoing. The BBC has contacted Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's team for a response. The former prince has previously denied all wrongdoing.
He has also previously said he did not see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his [Epstein's] arrest and conviction.
The message was sent from email address abx17@dial.pipex.com entitled The Invisible Man and forms part of the more than 11,000 files published on Tuesday.
In an email sent back to this address on the same day, Maxwell wrote: So sorry to disappoint you, however the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends.
A different email address - aace@dial.pipex.com - is listed in Epstein's phone book under a contact labelled Duke of York.
In October, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost use of his prince and Duke of York titles following scrutiny over his links with Epstein.
The U.S. Department of Justice has been releasing documents related to two criminal investigations into the convicted sex offender during his lifetime.
One of the two related to Epstein. Attached to the document is a list of areas the U.S. authorities had sought to cover in an interview - it included names and identifying features of any females Prince Andrew met through Epstein and/or Maxwell.
