Police Scotland is conducting “active” early-stage inquiries into former Prince Andrew’s time at Balmoral, the king’s private estate in Scotland, alongside Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Several outlets report that the investigation is at a preliminary stage, with police describing enquiries as ongoing.
The coverage ties the Balmoral visit to earlier US Department of Justice material, with one outlet noting that previously released pictures appear to show Andrew and Epstein on a shooting trip at the estate. Other reports focus on when the visit occurred and how it is said to have taken place, including references to Epstein’s attendance in 1999 and claims it was linked to an invitation from then–Prince Andrew.
While most outlets emphasize that police inquiries are underway and still early, one outlet foregrounds allegations that Epstein trafficked women to the king’s estate. Across titles, the central common ground is the existence of police enquiries into the Balmoral visit and the identities of Andrew, Epstein and Maxwell.
