Prince Andrew allegedly got ‘daily’ massages while staying for ‘weeks’ at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion: docs
Prince Andrew “spent weeks” at Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida mansion, where the disgraced royal would receive “daily” massages, the late financier’s butler claimed in newly unsealed court documents.
Juan Alessi, who worked as Epstein’s Florida housekeeper from 1991 to 2002, named Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson in a 2009 deposition as some of the celebrity “friends” of Epstein and his convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell who visited the home.
The Duke of York — who was fired from royal duties in 2019 over his ties to the pedophile — was a frequent guest, stayed in the “main guest bedroom” and regularly got massages, Alessi testified.
“I would say, daily massages. They have a daily massage,” Alessi said, according to the transcript of the deposition.
“Prince Andrew spent weeks with us.”
Andrew would later be accused of having sex with Epstein’s self-described “sex slave” Virginia Giuffre in London, New York, and on his private island when she was 17.
Although he denied the claims, he settled the matter with her out of court in the US.
Alessi said he believes Ferguson only visited Epstein’s Florida property once and “for a short period of time.”
Alessi said he couldn’t remember whether Andrew had more than one massage per day, and noted he didn’t know the nature of the closed-door moments.
“I think it was just a massage for him,” Alessi testified.
The massage allegations are just one of many lodged against Prince Andrew since the avalanche of court documents related to Epstein began being slowly released Wednesday.
This week’s highly anticipated document dump stems from a since-settled 2015 defamation case that accuser Giuffre brought against Maxwell, 61.
A girl, identified as Jane Doe 3, accused the royal of engaging in an “orgy” with underage girls during one of his stays on Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean.
The filing also claims Epstein told the “sex slave” to “give the Prince whatever he demanded.”
Another Epstein accuser, Johanna Sjoberg, said in her own deposition that Prince Andrew touched her breast while they were posing for a photo on a couch at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in 2001.
In that same photo, Sjoberg testified the royal also groped Giuffre’s breast with a puppet that looked like him.
Prince Andrew was fired from his royal duties over his ties to Epstein in 2019.
In the wake of the documents’ revelations, the anti-monarchy group Republic reported Prince Andrew to London’s Metropolitan Police and demanded a renewed investigation.
“It’s simple — the royals should not be above the law. Accusations of criminality should always be investigated thoroughly. THAT’S WHY THE MET MUST ACT,” the group posted on X. The Met has not commented on the request.
Both Prince Andrew and Buckingham Palace have repeatedly denied all allegations against him.
