Emails from the latest Epstein files have uncovered that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor exchanged gossip with Ghislaine Maxwell regarding a mutual female friend’s encounter with an actor known as ‘George C.’ This correspondence, dated December 24, 2002, reveals the former prince’s eagerness to share juicy details about the connection amid the holiday season in London.
On the eve of Maxwell’s birthday, Prince Andrew wrote to her, noting,
“I do believe that tomorrow is of some significance to you! I am not emailing about that but something else that I thought you ought to know seeing as you are so into gossip and I think I might have some for you!”
The email hints at conversations about the man named George C., whom a woman named Carol R. had seen recently at a movie premiere.
The Mysterious Reference to ‘George C’ and Possible Link to George Clooney
The actor ‘George C’ mentioned in the email was seen attending the London premiere of a film in late 2002, coinciding with the timing of George Clooney’s directorial debut, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. However, it remains unclear whether the ‘George C.’ in the emails refers to Clooney himself. Prince Andrew’s message describes Carol R.’s encounter with Mr. C., noting,
“She saw Mr C, as she says, at the premiere of his new movie on Thursday and they managed to hither (her word) to each other and apparently no one can hither like Mr C.”
Andrew’s curiosity extended into an unusual phrase Carol used:
“She got to ‘licky palm’ with him. What is ‘licky palm?’ Is this something I must try someday?”
The lighthearted tone contrasts with the grave context surrounding other revelations in the Epstein archives.
Details and Revelations From Epstein File Emails Involving Andrew and Maxwell’s Relationship
The email exchange between Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell adds to a trove of documents recently released by the US Department of Justice, involving over three million records linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities. Included in these files are photographs and videos, some showing the disgraced royal in compromising situations.
Among these emails, affectionate language flows freely between Andrew and Maxwell. They refer to each other with endearments such as “darling” and “sweet pea,” and express longing for one another. In 2002, while using the pseudonym “The Invisible Man,” Prince Andrew asked Maxwell for permission to stay with his ex-wife and children rather than travel to the US, suggesting a complex network of personal relationships and dependencies.
Email Exchanges Show a Complex and Intimate Connection Between Andrew and Maxwell
Andrew wrote in one message,
“As the planning is getting more difficult over the bank holiday weekend here I am thinking now I might join Sarah and the kids in Sotogrande for a few days which would be very important and a good thing for the girls, rather than trek across the pond.”
In response, Maxwell expressed understanding, saying,
“Andrew sweet heart – I fully understand if you want to spend time w/Sarah and the kids. I will not be remotely offended – sad not to spend time w/you and sad not to see you but at this point w/precious holidays and few days off I agree that this idea of coming to the Island looks less appealing.”
Further messages exhibit Maxwell’s playful tone, writing,
“No problem, (redacted), who is now coming and 5 other stunning red heads will all just have to play with ourselves. I shall miss you. I love you lots. Gx.”
Andrew’s reply conveyed sorrow at missing her company but affection as he stated,
“Whatever I love you and am longing to see you when either you or I are in the same part of the world.”
Andrew’s Denial of Having More Children Amid Personal Correspondence
One email from October 2002 shows Maxwell teasing Andrew about rumors he might have additional children, as Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were then teenagers. She wrote,
“Is it true you are having more children? I shall have to refer to you as super sperm! Gx.”
Andrew responded firmly, denying such plans, writing,
“No I am not having any more children and don’t believe everything you read in the papers! Sarah said that she’d like to have another child if she could and if too old might adopt one instead.”
Andrew’s reply concluded with warmth:
“What are you going to do to help me then? Masses of love A xxx.”
This exchange reveals the candid and personal nature of their correspondence, underscoring the closeness of their relationship.

“Sorry you had to rush home, and also under such sad circumstances.”
Andrew’s messages show reciprocal affection and continued longing to meet despite physical distance.
In 2005, Maxwell received travel details from Andrew, who signed off,
“Let me know if this is OK. Love you A xxx,”
reaffirming the intimate tone of their communications years after the initial revelations.
Royal Historian Labels Andrew and Maxwell as Former Lovers, Suggesting a Darker Context to Their Relationship
Royal historian Andrew Lownie, whose biography The Rise and Fall of the House of York was published last year, asserted that Andrew and Maxwell were “lovers” and shared a long-standing intimate connection. Lownie stated,
“They were lovers, they had been lovers. They have known each other for years. It was a very close relationship.”
He added that Maxwell was Epstein’s close associate,
“providing girls for Andrew, in effect, along with Epstein, and she’d done that before.”
Despite the allegations and associations, Andrew has consistently denied any misconduct in relation to Epstein or these claims.
