Recently released emails shed light on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s thoughts about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, describing him as “a lot of fun” and encouraging the former prince to meet him in Davos, Switzerland.
The emails, dated January 2010, were exchanged between Epstein and Boris Nikolic, a former advisor to Bill Gates and a preliminary executor of Epstein’s will. This correspondence took place six months after Epstein was released from a Florida prison, where he had been charged with recruiting a minor for prostitution.
During that period, the British royal family was in Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, where Andrew served as the UK’s special representative for trade and investment.
Epstein initiated the discussion by inquiring if there had been “anything fun” at Davos. Nikolic responded that he was scheduled to meet “your friend Bill Clinton,” followed by Nicolas Sarkozy, and then Andrew, mentioning he had some questions regarding Microsoft.
Epstein replied, “I can tell Andrew we’re friends,” seemingly eager to maintain a connection.
When Nikolic indicated he had no need for anything from Andrew, Epstein countered him, insisting, “You have to laugh and have fun. He’s good at that…he’s a lot of fun.”
Nikolic playfully recounted his flirtation with a young woman but realized she was with her husband. “Bottom line is anything good can be rented,” he joked with a winking emoji.
Following their meeting, Nikolic sent another email to Epstein saying, “He’s amazing…I think I’d trade Davos for a good fashion week. Much more fun.”
The emails emerged from over 20,000 documents released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee last week as part of an investigation into why Epstein wasn’t prosecuted at the federal level.
This release has revived focus on Epstein’s influential connections, especially concerning Andrew, who had his royal titles removed last month and may face eviction from his Windsor estate due to his prolonged association with Epstein.
Andrew resigned from his position as Britain’s trade envoy in 2011 after allegations from Virginia Giuffre surfaced, claiming he had forced her into a sexual relationship when she was 17—a claim he has continually denied.
These newly surfaced emails raise further questions about Andrew’s close relationship with Epstein, particularly during the times he claimed to have severed ties with him.
Attempts to reach Nikolic and Andrew for comments were unsuccessful.
