A woman who says she was abused and trafficked by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has told a U.S. congressional committee that she attended events at royal residences, including a dinner in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s private apartments at Buckingham Palace.

Sarah Kellen gave the evidence to the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Testimony to Congressional Investigation

Transcripts of Kellen’s testimony, released recently, show she described encounters with several prominent figures connected to Epstein during the years she worked for him. She told lawmakers she had been “sexually and psychologically abused” by Epstein for more than a decade.

Claims Involving Royal Residences

During her testimony, Kellen said she attended a dinner in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s private apartments at Buckingham Palace and was also present at Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday celebration at Windsor Castle in 2006.

The testimony marks the first known public account from a woman abused and trafficked by Epstein describing her attendance at royal residences.

Kellen was asked whether she had witnessed any inappropriate behaviour by several individuals, including Mountbatten-Windsor. She told the committee she had not.

Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing linked to his friendship with Epstein. He lost his royal titles following allegations connected to that relationship.

The BBC said Buckingham Palace referred it to a statement issued last October on behalf of the King and Queen. The statement said their thoughts and sympathies remained with victims and survivors of all forms of abuse.

Allegations Against Epstein and Maxwell

Kellen confirmed she had received compensation from Epstein’s estate through a victims’ fund established to provide financial relief to survivors who could support their claims with evidence.

She also told lawmakers she was sexually abused by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.

Kellen was highly critical of Maxwell, telling the committee she believed Maxwell played a significant role in shaping Epstein’s lifestyle and use of wealth.

The witness also said she was abused by three other associates of Epstein.

Questions Over Past Activities

Kellen told the committee that she may have organised meetings for Sarah Ferguson at Epstein’s office and residence in Palm Beach, Florida, while Epstein was on work release in 2008. At the time, Epstein was serving a sentence for soliciting sex from a minor and was permitted to leave prison during the day for work.

Previously described as an assistant to Epstein, Kellen was identified as a possible co-conspirator during an earlier plea agreement involving the financier. She told lawmakers she only became aware of that designation after it became public and said no law enforcement agency had sought her account at the time.

The BBC reported that it had approached representatives for Mountbatten-Windsor, Princess Beatrice and Maxwell’s legal team for comment. A spokesperson for Sarah Ferguson declined to comment.

Not a "Royal" family but a bunch of exploiter, cheater, grafter. A hub of narrow minded incompetence.

Nobody needs them.

Deport them

Another willing participant trying to rewrite history for a payout.

"A woman who says she was abused and trafficked by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has told a U.S. congressional committee that she attended events at royal residences, including a dinner in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s private apartments at Buckingham Palace."

So this was all at UK taxpayers expense?

Sarah Kellen’s testimony to the U.S. House Oversight Committee is now public. UK police can access it, request the full transcript/evidence from the U.S., and follow up with her if they want (e.g., via mutual legal assistance).

Let's see if the do?

She said she worked for Epstein for years. Difficult to figure out just what she is complaining about.

She prostituted herself, knowingly, went with Andrew, who might have been naive, but also unaware of her age etc...why didn't she go to the police, instead waits years, to become "famous."

Compensation based on evidence proven …

Ok, OK, we know of Epstein, Maxwell, Andrew … where are the others named and proven involvement?

Isn’t it funny that on Prince Andrew is getting attention and all those rich and powerful Americans including Trump get none? I feel sorry for Andy, he can’t win!

Oh my.

We call sex with a minor rape

not because of semantics

but because children cannot give "informed consent" and even their apparent “willingness” is often the result of manipulation, imbalance, or immaturity

But yeah, until recently the age of consent in America was based on English common law of 10 years old, which started to change in the 1880s+

While you are correct, Sarah Kellen was born in '79 she turned 18 before the turn of the century.

It's quite possible that poor old Randy Qndy might be moving camp again soon.This time from a royal owned house to His Majesty's Big House the one with bars on the windows.

It's not that he can't win it's because he was born a Royal and he failed to live up to the standards expected of him. If he was just a normal British citizen he could do whatever he likes but he has taken all the benifits of a royal and lived a charmed life especially as he was the Queen's favourite and now he's got to suffer the concequences.

Victim ... hmm

... not noticing any statement saying she was in a cage, shackled or in handcuffs, could not leave or brought there unwillingly.

She said that 'she had never witnessed any inappropriate behaviour by Andrew Mountbatten Windsor' ( see first four lines of para 5 above).

As far as I am aware Andrew is still under investigation but to date has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

Mostly this is victim shaming, guilt by association.

Well most of them don't have UK passport.

Strange that !

Still irrelevant...learn to understand what you read, not make things up.

Oh Jonny your ignorance never fails to entertain us.

In your rush to blame the victim and presumably support the disgraced Andrew Mountbatten you obviously missed the part in the OP in which Kellen confirmed that she had been awarded compensation from the Epstein estate after providing evidence of being sexually abused by the Disgraced Andrew and Maxwell.

You were probably off school on the day they taught comprehension eh.

Well then why did give Randy Andy 100 million pounds before she died to stop her litigation if he was innocent of the allegations ???

The Queen that is.

It was his sick mother's wish prior to her royal jubilee. Big mistake. Guiffre's family have a few questions to answer as to how and why she died, and where the money has gone. So far those questions have never been asked.

She didn't appreciate Ghislaine Maxwell going down on her, maybe that's what did it.

She did not say that she 'went with' Andrew in the sexual sense, that you, by referencing her age, seem to be suggesting.

Nonsense.

"Kellen was asked whether she had witnessed any inappropriate behaviour by several individuals, including Mountbatten-Windsor. She told the committee she had not..."

He didn't, neither did anybody else give £100m.
