The dust is slowly settling following the release of the latest, enormous batch of files relating to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
After much speculation – and no small amount of public pressure – the DOJ finally made good on their promise to put the documents into the public domain. All told, in excess of 3.5 million email exchanges, texts, pictures, videos, and more were released in accordance with the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act back in November.
“Today’s release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told the press on January 30.
It’s worth mentioning right off the bat that a name appearing in the files – whether as a result of them contacting Epstein or simply being mentioned by someone else – is not necessarily proof of any wrongdoing.
And it’s a good thing, too, since a who’s who of high-profile celebrities and political figures are mentioned in the files, including those who have previously denied having anything to do with the disgraced financier.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
One person who has long been mentioned in connection with Epstein is the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Over the past years, he’s fought doggedly against the accusations leveled at him, without much success (at least in the court of public opinion).
Virginia Guiffre previously accused the royal of sexually assaulting her on no less than three occasions when she was a minor.
Guiffre – who died by suicide in April 2025 – was later paid by Andrew for the dismissal of her civil sexual assault claim against him in 2022.
Following the publication of her memoir, which delved deeper into the alleged abuse she suffered as a teenager, Andrew was stripped of his remaining royal titles, including both ‘Prince’ and ‘Duke of York’.
He was also ordered to leave Royal Lodge, the Windsor property where he has resided with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson since 2004.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Andrew’s name was present hundreds of times in the latest batch of files released. One photo that garnered particular attention shows Andrew crouched on all fours over an unidentified woman.
There’s also an email exchange between Epstein and a contact who signs off as ‘A’ and ‘HRH The Duke of York’, where the latter talks about meeting with a “beautiful” Russian woman.
The same sender also invites Epstein to Buckingham Palace in 2010, two years after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Sarah Ferguson
Like her former husband, Sarah Ferguson’s name has been mentioned in association with Epstein before.
The 66-year-old previously said she only wrote flattering things to Epstein over emails after claiming to have broken off contact with him because she didn’t want him to sue her for defamation.
“I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children,” Ferguson told the Evening Standard in 2011, simultaneously apologizing for accepting £15,000 from Epstein.
In a 2025 statement, her spokesperson tried to quell the public anger at Ferguson having seemingly been a friend of Epstein’s.
“Like many people, she was taken in by his lies,” the 2025 statement added. “As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with paedophilia.
“She does not resile from anything she said then. This email was sent in the context of advice the Duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats.”
Beatrice and Eugenie
The daughters of Andrew and Sarah Ferguson were only teenagers during the time Epstein committed his crimes, but their names do appear in the files.
Their father sent a number of photographs of them to Epstein between 2011 and 2012 (years after Epstein was found guilty of solicitation of prostitution from a minor). The photos show the princesses playing in the snow, while another depicts Beatrice climbing Mount Blanc and a third shows Eugenie on a charity bike ride.
The sisters’ names also crop up in an email allegedly sent by their mother to Epstein in 2010. The message appears to be an invite to Andrew’s 50th birthday party at St. James Palace, and reads: “Beatrice, Eugenie and I would love to invite you….”.
In another email, Epstein asked Sarah Ferguson if there was ‘any chance of your daughters saying hello’ to an unnamed person during a London event. Ferguson replied: “Beatrice is in London with her father. Eugie is away with a cool boyfriend.”
Mette-Marit
Before last Friday, the Crown Princess of Norway’s relationship with Epstein wasn’t all that well known. Newspapers in her home country had reported on the pair having known each other, while Mette-Marit issued a statement in 2019 via the Royal Palace where she expressed deep regret for her “poor judgement”.
At the time, she confirmed she’d met Epstein several times between 2011 and 2013, including traveling to his home in Palm Beach and having a meeting in Oslo.
The latest drop changes a lot of things. The princess is said to be mentioned over 1,000 times, with Mette-Marit and Epstein having been in contact between 2011 and 2014, years after his initial conviction.
In one email, Mette-Marit tells Epstein: ‘You tickle my brain’. In a second, she refers to him as ‘soft-hearted’, and in a third, calls him ‘such a sweetheart’.
“I showed poor judgment and I deeply regret having had any contact with Epstein. It is simply embarrassing,” she said in an official statement on Saturday, January 31, 2026.
Princess Diana
Even Princess Diana‘s name can be found in the latest release, despite the late princess having died in the infamous car crash in Paris, France in 1997.
In fact, Diana’s name features no less than 14 times.
That said, there’s no actual proof Diana and Epstein ever had any contact, much less that she met him or was involved in anything remotely illicit.
Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving 20 years in prison after being convicted on five counts of sex trafficking of minors, is said to have claimed in a federal interview that Epstein and Diana met at a London event, though she added that she was unsure if the pair sat together.
Queen Camilla
Queen Camilla’s name can reportedly be found in the Epstein files released by the DOJ nine times.
Nowhere is it implied or indicated that the wife of King Charles had any personal relationship with Epstein.
Rather, it’s likely Camilla’s name was referenced in articles or emails Epstein himself sent to associates.
