DISGRACED Ghislaine Maxwell planned a “two-legged sightseeing” trip for an “English gentleman called Andrew”, according to newly released emails.
The email exchanges show Maxwell planning a trip to Peru for a friend called “The Invisible Man” – who appears to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
In a 2002 email Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year jail sentence for sex trafficking, told pal Juanesteban Ganozashe that she had passed his number on to “Andrew” ahead of a planned trip to Peru and suggested he organise “two-legged sight-seeing” to make her friend “very happy”.
The email, sent out on March 3 reads: “I just gave Andrew your telephone no … he can ride but it is not his favourite sport … some two-legged sightseeing [read intelligent pretty fun and from good families] and he will be very happy.
What we know so far…
“I know I can rely on you to show him a wonderful time and that you will only introduce him to friends that you can trust and rely on to be friendly and discreet and fun … he does not want to read about any trip in the papers [detailing] whom or what he saw.”
Maxwell also said that Ganoza “can expect a very English-sounding gentleman on the phone to call up and say hi”.
The Invisible Man had written to Maxwell February 28, 2002: “I am overwhelmed at the kindness and generosity of the offers that are being made for me.
” I would love to do them all but fear that there would not be enough time!”
“As for girls well I leave that entirely to you and Juan Estoban!”
Ganoza replied: “About the girls … how old is he? I doubt it that he will find someone here, but we can try.”
While The Invisible Man is not identified in the files, Andrew conducted a six-day official visit to Peru in March 2002 to mark the 50th year of his mother’s reign.
There is no implication that any illegal activity took place on the trip.
The “Invisible Man” used two email addresses: aace@dial.pipex.com and abx17@dial.pipex.com.
In Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called “black book” of contacts, the first is listed under a contact labelled “Duke of York” — the title renounced by Andrew in October.
The newly released Epstein files also include an email “from Balmoral” asking Ghislaine Maxwell for “inappropriate friends”.
In the email from August 2001, an unidentified person who signs his messages “A xxx” writes to Maxwell: “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family.”
He goes on to say that he is “totally exhausted”, before asking how Maxwell is.
The man then writes: “How’s LA? Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?
“Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people before having to put my nose firmly to the grindstone for the Fall.”
He adds: “Any ideas gratefully received! See ya A xxx.”
Maxwell then replies: “So sorry to disappoint you, however the truth must be told.
“I have only been able to find appropriate friends.”
There is no indication that anyone from the Royal Family sent the email to Maxwell – and it is unclear who the person exchanging emails with Epstein’s former partner was.
Other emails reference the man’s apparent service in the Royal Navy, which had recently come to an end.
On August 18, 2021, he wrote: “You probably wouldn’t know, but I lost my valet on Thursday.
“He died in his sleep. He had been with me since I was two … I have left the RN and now my whole life is in turmoil as I have no one to look after me. He was a real rock and almost a part of the family.”
The man referred to the Royal Navy “RN”.
Andrew left the Royal Navy in July 2001 after 22 years of service.
US prosecutors believed that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor knew Ghislaine Maxwell recruited females for sex acts with Jeffrey Epstein and other men, newly released files show.
An explosive 22-page document – released in the latest tranche of files – lists Andrew in his then full-title, H.R.H. Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward, the Duke of York, as a witness relating to “two ongoing criminal investigations”.
Referring to the probe into Epstein, it says: “The investigation to date has revealed that Prince Andrew may have been a witness to and/or participant in certain events of relevance to the ongoing investigation.
“For example, one victim has alleged that Maxwell introduced her to Prince Andrew who, according to this victim, was present for certain of the victim’s interactions with Epstein and Maxwell.
“Additionally, documentary evidence uncovered during the course of this investigation has revealed information suggesting that Prince Andrew had knowledge that Maxwell recruited females to engage in sex acts with Epstein and other men.
“Finally, there is evidence that Prince Andrew engaged in sexual conduct involving one of Epstein’s victims.”
US prosecutors also wanted Andrew to be interviewed under caution over sex trafficking claims against Epstein.
The newly released files into the investigation of Epstein show that the DOJ invoked a legal treaty with Britain in April 2020 to question the disgraced Royal about Epstein.
The bombshell request to the Home Office – first revealed by The Sun – demanded the “voluntary interview” with “Material Witness PA” be videotaped and recorded in the presence of the FBI, the district attorney, and a detective from the NYPD.
