The Most Mentioned Brit: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Epstein Files
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, tops a list of British figures repeatedly named in the explosive 23,000-strong cache of Jeffrey Epstein-linked documents handed to the US House Oversight Committee. The disgraced royal’s prominence in these files underscores how deeply his downfall is intertwined with the Epstein scandal.
According to the document release, Mountbatten-Windsor’s name appears a staggering 173 times, dwarfing every other UK figure mentioned. His frequent appearances highlight not only his personal connection but also the scale of British involvement in the Epstein case.
British Figures and the Epic Document Release
The sprawling database, published as part of the House Oversight Committee’s release program, includes a diverse list of British celebrities and public figures. Sir David Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Adele, Mick Jagger, Tony Blair, and many others are among those named.
Behind Mountbatten-Windsor is Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend-turned-madam, whose name appears 135 times in the files. Her disgraced father, Robert Maxwell, a crooked newspaper baron, is referenced 47 times, making them the second-largest cluster of British figures.
Political and Celebrity Involvement
The document list includes a mix of political names like Tony Blair (mentioned 22 times), David Cameron (19), Gordon Brown (16), and Peter Mandelson (10). Even Queen Camilla features nine times. The celebrity tier is equally star-studded, featuring figures such as Mick Jagger (9), Adele (8), Bono (16), Elton John (8), David Beckham (9), and Colin Firth (10).
Among the political names, Tony Blair is mentioned 22 times, David Cameron 19, Gordon Brown 16, and Peter Mandelson 10.
The celebrity tier includes Mick Jagger (9), Adele (8), Bono (16), Elton John (8), David Beckham (9), and Colin Firth (10). These mentions don’t imply any wrongdoing but show the extent of their names appearing in documents now under congressional scrutiny.
Contextual Details from the Documents
Mick Jagger’s name appears in a conversation between Epstein and Boris Nikolic, discussing philanthropic endeavors. In January 2014, Epstein sent an email to Nikolic that included an article featuring admired sportsmen, including Beckham. Sir Elton John also features multiple times, with his name appearing in several articles shared by Epstein.
Naomi Campbell’s name surfaces in a March 2011 article claiming she stayed on Epstein’s Caribbean island.
Another mention of the supermodel appears in an email sent by lawyers acting for a woman who was allegedly abused by Epstein when she was a minor. Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew’s accuser, also mentions Campbell flying on Epstein’s private jet.
Andrew’s Role and Impact
The documents reveal that Mountbatten-Windsor’s status as the most heavily referenced Brit reflects his catastrophic fall from grace. His relationship with Epstein, whom he once described as “a convenient friend,” triggered one of the worst crises in modern royal history.
Prince Andrew’s name saturates the files: event discussions, attempted PR salvage operations, legal notes, and references in interview statements made by others. This dominance signifies the public and explosive nature of his downfall.
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell’s descent from British high society to US federal prison remains one of the darkest stories of the Epstein saga.
The House Oversight Committee received the archive after the Epstein estate formally transferred it following years of motions, subpoenas, and legal maneuvering. The committee has released material in rolling batches, insisting transparency is essential to “closing every door that allowed Epstein to operate.”
For investigators and lawmakers scouring the archive, Andrew’s name is not a footnote but a dominant presence. The political storm, on both sides of the Atlantic, continues to build as more documents are released.
