Prince Andrew Faces Fresh Scandal: Second Woman Claims Jeffrey Epstein 'Sent Her' to Britain For S-x

The disgraced Duke of York is reportedly gripped by panic inside Royal Lodge, facing what insiders describe as 'sweaty, sleepless nights' following explosive new allegations. Just as the dust appeared to settle on his previous legal battles, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is confronting a fresh nightmare. A second woman has come forward claiming she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to Britain specifically for a sexual encounter with the prince.

The development threatens to shatter the fragile existence the 65-year-old has maintained since retreating from public life. According to sources speaking to RadarOnline, Andrew is now 'sweating over the prospect of having to settle another case', fearing his past association with Epstein has returned to exact a further toll.

The Royal Lodge Allegations

The gravest of the new claims places the alleged abuse at the heart of the Windsor estate. The accuser, a non-British woman who was in her 20s at the time, alleges Epstein arranged her travel to the UK in 2010.

She claims that during the trip she had a sexual encounter with the royal at his Royal Lodge home in Berkshire. The seriousness of the allegation is compounded by a striking detail cited by her legal representatives. Following the alleged encounter, the woman was reportedly given a private tour of Buckingham Palace.

Brad Edwards, a Florida-based lawyer representing the woman, outlined the disturbing claims. 'We're talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein to Prince Andrew,' Edwards said. 'And she even had, after a night with Prince Andrew, a tour of Buckingham Palace.'

Edwards is a prominent figure in the ongoing saga of Epstein's victims, representing more than 200 survivors. He previously acted for Virginia Giuffre, whose civil lawsuit against Andrew in 2021 ended in a substantial settlement.

The resurgence of such specific allegations has reportedly 'ripped open old wounds' for the royal family, particularly given the setting. A royal watcher highlighted the discomfort caused by claims that the abuse took place within a royal residence, a detail that brings the scandal uncomfortably close to the institution itself.

Andrew Under Mounting Political Pressure

The timing of these revelations could not be worse for the former duke. As he grapples with these private fears, he is simultaneously under unprecedented public pressure from the British government to cooperate with US authorities investigating Epstein's trafficking network.

Steve Reed, Britain's communities secretary, made a pointed public appeal for transparency. 'The way that we can help those victims is for anybody who has any insight or information about what went on to come forward and testify,' Reed said. 'We need to shine a light on what has happened.'

Reed's comments appeared directed at the prince's continued silence. 'Andrew clearly has insight into what was going on, and he should testify, because the victims deserve and need him,' he added.

When pressed on whether the UK would support a potential extradition request from the US, Reed was cautious but firm on the principle of accountability. 'You're asking me about details of legislation that would depend on the type of offence that may or may not have been committed,' he said.

'It's entirely hypothetical. I don't think it's sensible for me to come on here and start talking hypothetically about situations that may or may not exist.'

The spectre of Virginia Giuffre's case looms large over these proceedings. Giuffre, who tragically died last year aged 41, had accused Andrew of sexual abuse in London in 2001 when she was 17.

Although Andrew consistently denied Giuffre's allegations, he settled out of court without admitting liability, reportedly paying around $15 million (£12 million). At the time, he said it was in the best interests of all parties to avoid a trial, a decision that effectively ended his public duties.

Edwards has indicated he is considering filing a civil lawsuit on behalf of the second accuser. For Andrew, the threat is not just reputational but financial.

A legal source said the mounting pressure meant the prince faced '15 million reasons to worry all over again'. They added that any new civil action could be financially and reputationally devastating, even without a trial.

'He has already paid a huge price once,' a source close to the situation said. 'The fear is that history could repeat itself if this moves toward court.'
