Prince Andrew’s ‘$200 massage payments’ revealed on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ logs

The Duke of York has been implicated in payments for massages on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane dubbed the ‘Lolita Express’, the latest release of the ‘Epstein Files’ shows.

Prince Andrew was listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet, nicknamed for the number of young women and girls flying on it.

Andrew’s name was recorded as travelling on the notorious jet from New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida where Epstein lived on May 12 in 2000.

The second son of Queen Elizabeth II was named with tech billionaire Elon Musk in the third batch of files released, which show several massages were paid for and received by ‘Andrew’.

Documents released by Congress detail that $200 cheques were used under that name to pay for massages aboard Epstein’s plane.

A newly released ledger shows ‘Andrew’, the only name not redacted, wrote a $200 cheque for ‘massage, exercise and yoga’ on February 11 in 2000.

It is not clear this is referring to the duke, who has strenuously denied any wrongdoing.

This came a week before his birthday, a flight manifest revealed, and three months later the prince rejoined Epstein on a US trip funded by the British government.

Sara Guerrero, the oversight committee’s spokeswoman, said: ‘Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.

‘Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes. It’s past time for Attorney-General [Pam] Bondi to release all the files now.’

The spokesperson added that ‘extensive redactions’ were made to protect victims while the committee continues its investigation.

Victims of Epstein have testified that they were paid $200 a session for giving the disgraced financier massages at his residences in New York, Palm Beach, New Mexico and his own private island.

Andrew’s name popped up yet again on the flight logs on May 16 in 2000 days after the prince was flown to Palm Beach.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein, one of his confidantes, Adam Perry Lang, Epstein’s private chef, a ‘bodyguard’, and ‘1 male’ were also listed as passengers.

Prince Andrew was also recorded as being on board Epstein’s plane journey to the US Virgin Islands in 1999 and again in September 2006 with Maxwell from Luton to Edinburgh.

Epstein’s daily schedule, which included meetings with President Trump ally Steve Bannon and PayPal founder Peter Thiel, was shown in the documents, along with a possible visit to Epstein’s Virgin Islands for Mr Musk.

The Tesla founder was listed as a potential visitor to Little St James, Epstein’s island, on December 6 in 2014, six years after the financier was listed as a sex offender.

‘Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec 6 (is this still happening?)’ an entry to what appears to be Epstein’s daily schedule recorded.

Out of the 8,544 documents released by the investigating oversight committee, only six have been released and pressure has mounted to subpoena Andrew to testify to his involvement with the disgraced billionaire paedophile.

The prince, despite associating with Epstein after he was convicted of child sex offences in Florida in 2008, has consistently denied wrongdoing.

As a British citizen, he does not have to attend such a hearing in the US.

Palace records show the prince flew to New York on May 11 in 2000 with his equerry, a personal officer of the royal household, Major Lance Gerrard Wright who later married TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson.

After attending a reception for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) and a charity dinner at Le Cirque restaurant, the prince flew on Epstein’s jet to Palm Springs with the major.

Prince Andrew returned to the UK on a publicly funded flight on May 15, palace records show.

In July that year, Andrew hosted Epstein and Maxwell at Royal Ascot and the pair attended the Queen’s Windsor Castle party to celebrate several royal birthdays.

These were Andrew’s 40th, the Queen Mother’s 100th, Princess Margaret’s 70th and Princess Anne’s 50th.

Andrew threw a party at Sandringham for Maxwell’s birthday later that year.

Prince Andrew’s representatives have been approached for comment.
