Over 30 British names appear in 23,000 Epstein-linked documents handed to US authorities – but being named does not indicate wrongdoing
The Epstein files have unveiled a list of high-profile names, including royals, prime ministers, rock stars, cultural icons and political firebrands. Andrew Mounbatten-Windsor is the most frequently mentioned British name in the trove of 23,000 documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, but there are several other notable entries.
The list was submitted to the US House Oversight Committee by the Epstein estate. Over 30 individuals were named, including British celebrities such as Sir David Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Adele and Mick Jagger. While the former prince’s name appears an astonishing 173 times, several other royals are also alleged to be included in the extensive database.
The list provides a snapshot of British society, featuring royals, prime ministers, rock stars, cultural icons and political firebrands in various contexts – from being the subject of media gossip, attending the same events, or appearing in diary planning notes, correspondence or press discussions.
Committee members emphasise that being named in these documents does not imply any wrongdoing, with names appearing in different contexts, from general social interactions to specific business discussions.
Several individuals have come forward to deny any wrongdoing regarding their connections. Former Prince Andrew has consistently refuted allegations levelled against him.
Likewise, model Campbell has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities, stating she was introduced to him through mutual acquaintances.
Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire notorious for his associations with celebrities, politicians, and academic luminaries, was first arrested in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2005 after accusations of paying a 14 year old girl for sex surfaced.
Numerous other underage girls recounted similar instances of sexual abuse, but prosecutors ultimately allowed the financier to plead guilty in 2008 to a charge involving a single victim. He served 13 months in a jail work-release programme.
Here are all the Brit celebs named. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has often said he regretted his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. As for the rest of the people on this list, the mere mention of them in the files does not mean they had a friendship with the disgraced financier.
