Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein at the Royal Lodge in 2006, the BBC reports.

The visit was a part of his daughter Beatrice’s masked ball party for her 18th birthday, just two months after a US arrest warrant was issued for Epstein following the assault of a minor.

The Royal Lodge is a publicly owned home where Prince Andrew lives effectively rent-free, the BBC said.

The outlet understands that the trio visited the Royal Lodge ahead of the main party, which took place in the state rooms of Windsor Castle.

The BBC said it was previously known the trio went to Windsor Castle but not Royal Lodge.

A photo showing the three dressed in fancy clothing was matched by the BBC to the trees and patio wall of existing pictures of Royal Lodge.

Epstein was arrested just eight days after the visit by police in Florida.

When Andrew was asked by BBC Newsnight in 2019, why he invited Epstein to the event despite the arrest warrant He said he “wasn’t aware when the invitation was issued.”

“I wasn’t aware until the media picked up on it because he never said anything about it,” he said.

Andrew agreed to relinquish the use of Duke of York and other remaining royal titles, following leaked emails that showed he had remained in contact with convicted sex offender Epstein longer than he previously admitted.

Giuffre, a prominent accuser of Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein died from suicide in April at the age of 41.

In the memoir she said she lost a baby four days after participating in “an orgy” with Prince Andrew and “eight other girls,” according to the Mirror, who said the prince has denied all sex claims made against him.

She claimed the girls involved didn’t speak any English, and said the location was “Little Saint Jeff’s,” which is a nickname for Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little St James.
