Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Harvey Weinstein at his residence, Royal Lodge, during his daughter Beatrice's 18th birthday masked ball in 2006. This event occurred just two months after a US arrest warrant was issued for Epstein for sexual assault. The infamous trio was initially believed to have attended the event at Windsor Castle but were actually hosted at Andrew's home before the main party.

 

This revelation brings renewed scrutiny over Prince Andrew's living arrangements, particularly his ties with Epstein. Despite reports, Andrew hasn't commented on the matter. Photographic evidence from the BBC confirms the location of their visit through matching landscapes at the Royal Lodge. Epstein was arrested shortly after the event, further highlighting the contentious timing of his invitation.

 

During a 2019 interview with BBC Newsnight, Andrew explained his ignorance of Epstein's legal troubles at the time of the invitation. He has since faced pressure regarding his links with Epstein, including the impact of Virginia Giuffre's memoir, which accuses the prince of having inappropriate encounters with Giuffre, a claim he consistently denies.

 

Recently, Andrew relinquished his titles amid these controversies. Fresh questions now focus on his finances, particularly after revelations about his minimal rent payments at Royal Lodge. Buckingham Palace has yet to address potential changes in his residence, though other Windsor properties have been considered.

 

Epstein and Maxwell were reportedly frequent visitors to royal estates, visiting locations such as Balmoral and Windsor Castle in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Both Epstein and Maxwell's criminal activities are widely documented, with Epstein dying by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial, and Maxwell now serving a prison sentence for her involvement in sex trafficking.

 

Weinstein, another controversial figure, has been convicted of sexual assault, with ongoing legal proceedings for some of his charges.
