# Prince Andrew messaged Jeffrey Epstein 2 months after he said contact ended: 'We'll play some more soon'

Prince Andrew told his pal Jeffrey Epstein that they would "play some more soon" in an email sent two months after he claimed their friendship had ended, it has been revealed.
The disgraced Duke of York, 64, wrote to the late serial sex trafficker on the same day a photo of him with then-17-year-old Virginia Giuffre emerged, a court has heard.
Andrew initially claimed that he had cut ties with the late financier — who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and federal conspiracy charges — in December 2010, shortly after the duo was pictured taking a stroll through Central Park.
However, in late February 2011, the scandal-scarred royal wrote to the convicted pedophile, "Keep in close touch and we'll play some more soon."
Epstein and Peter Mandelson, the newly-appointed British Ambassador to the US, remained in close contact until at least August 2012, records show.
The emails, seen by Bloomberg, were read aloud in a London courtroom as part of a filing by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is defending an appeal by Jes Staley, former Barclays bank honcho, to the Upper Tribunal.
Staley was blocked from all senior management positions until 2023 after it emerged that he lied about his relationship with Epstein.
He claimed to have cut all ties with the billionaire "well before" he landed the CEO role at Barclays bank, however, emails disclosed in court proved otherwise.
Emails showed that the pair stayed in touch until at least 2015.
In one exchange, Epstein invited Andrew to spend time with him and Staley.
In his response, the former working royal said he and Staley were due to meet up for dinner in London's posh Mayfair area the following night.
Epstein responded to Andrew on Feb. 27, "Jes Staley will be in London on next tue afternoon, if you have time."
Andrew wrote Epstein back to make sure he had the right date, adding, "Keep in close touch and we'll play some more soon."
The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
The younger brother of King Charles has strenuously denied claims against him and had previously insisted that he has no recollection of ever meeting Guiffre.
In Feb. 2022, Giuffre and Andrew's attorneys filed court papers stating they had reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit she had filed against him.
Andrew admitted no wrongdoing but wrote in a letter that he regretted his association with Epstein, who Giuffre claims trafficked her to the royal and other rich and powerful men.
The settlement amount was not publicly disclosed, but a source told The Post at the time that it was more than $12 million.
As a result, Andrew was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages, as well as his HRH title. He was also forced to give up his role as a working royal.

While I agree - disgusting - this is nothing new.
But one has to wonder, why the US mainstream is now suddenly dragging pedophilia and sex trafficking rings out into the open, like Epstein in this case ?
Derived from the target, a degenerated British pseudo "royal", one can suspect an attack on Europe, and the EU and City of London in particular. I think trump and Co. plan to effect a regime change in the UK and Germany (remember Musk and Alice Weidel lately ?), to get foreign influence out of the US.
As mentioned before, the US is currently only about to extricate itself from external monetary control and thus political - London and Bruessels in particular.

codis Right, why now? Maybe to get ahead of the story or to identify a scapegoat to sacrifice. Maybe because the Pakistani immigrant rapes of UK girls.
This is the story that will bring the psychopaths in government.

Dwoods44 I heard that in another podcast, it looks like Musk is the attack dog unleashed upon the UK and Germany, to affect regime change there. Dragging the current government (and high-ranking criminals associated with it) through the mud is a crucial part of it, I think.
As mentioned, first Musk attacked Starmer, for covering up the rape gang crimes. Then he colluded with Alice Weidel, the chairwoman of the German AfD - provoking the hypocritical "election interference" cries from the EU puppies ...
And, not to forget his meetings and relation with Meloni lately, obviously to separate Italy from the Franco-German EU core.
He is tasked to play the public media part in bringing down the European and British money "elites", who had installed and controlled both team "Biden" and team "EU" - through monetary "strings" all leading to the City of London.

codis Excellent point. He certainly has brought awareness to the people of the UK and Germany.

Probably some loose ends to tie up. You just cant remember all the despicable acts, over all those years.
Those rich, old, white, men, all with expansion plans for their closets. The skeleton's are packed in tight.
