British security officers assigned to protect Prince Andrew received orders to work security at a dinner party hosted by Jeffrey Epstein at his New York residence in December 2010, according to new media reports published Sunday.<\/p>

The Sunday Times broke the story after reviewing email communications from the Epstein document files, which appear to show detailed plans for Prince Andrew’s visit to stay with the disgraced financier, accompanied by two Metropolitan Police protection officers from London.<\/p>

An email sent one day prior to the gathering, titled “Security for party,” revealed that a staff member notified Epstein that both officers had received “instructions on the door.”<\/p>

These revelations surface just days after authorities announced Friday they were reaching out to former security personnel who previously worked for Prince Andrew, encouraging anyone with information about sexual offense allegations connected to Epstein to contact police.<\/p>

Law enforcement officials stated they have not discovered any misconduct by the protection officers during their current investigation. When asked about Sunday’s news reports, the Metropolitan Police declined to provide additional statements.<\/p>

Prince Andrew faced arrest Thursday on charges of suspected misconduct in public office as part of a different investigation, spending over 10 hours in custody with Thames Valley Police before being released pending further investigation.<\/p>

The arrest stems from accusations that he transmitted classified government materials to Epstein during his tenure as a trade representative. Thames Valley Police officers continued searching his previous Windsor estate on Sunday as part of their ongoing probe.<\/p>

Prince Andrew has consistently maintained his innocence regarding any improper conduct involving Epstein, though he has expressed regret about their association.<\/p>

The royal reached a civil settlement in 2022 with Virginia Giuffre, who had filed a lawsuit in American courts alleging he sexually assaulted her as a minor at locations belonging to Epstein and his associates. Prince Andrew has maintained he never encountered Giuffre.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
