Everything we know about the emails from 'The Invisible Man' at Balmoral to Ghislaine Maxwell
All eyes are on the former prince
New reports expose that someone staying at the Balmoral estate, identified as “A”, asked Ghislaine Maxwell whether she had found the sender any “new inappropriate friends”. Now, all eyes are looking at Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor amid his association with Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell.
Also described as “The Invisible Man”, the unconfirmed sender’s words to Maxwell were exposed in the latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents by the US Department of Justice.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor linked to newly exposed emails from Balmoral to Ghislaine Maxwell
The emails were sent in August 2001 from an email account identified as “The Invisible Man”. The emails were signed off as “A xxx”.
In the Department of Justice’s latest move, thousands more pages of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, were released.
One of the emails sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, the incarcerated and convicted associate of Epstein, from “The Invisible Man” read: “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family. Activities take place all day and I am totally exhausted at the end of each day. The Girls are completely shattered and I will have to give them an early night today as it is getting tiring splitting them up all the time.”
It went on to say: “How’s LA? Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people before having to put my nose firmly to the grindstone for the Fall.
“Any ideas gratefully received! See ya A xxx.”
‘Evidence’ Andrew was at Balmoral
At the time the emails were sent, newspaper reports recorded that Andrew did visit Balmoral. One even claimed he was there with his two daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie.
There was even said to be a fire scare at the time, after a nurse making Princess Margaret’s breakfast burnt a slice of toast.
At the time, Beatrice and Eugenie would have been aged 13 and 11.
“A” also told Maxwell they were “distraught” that she could only find them “appropriate friends”.
The emails, which many believe are from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, also describe how the sender had recently lost a member of staff.
‘A’ sender detailed ‘turmoil’ at the time
An email read: “You probably wouldn’t know but I lost my valet on Thursday. He died in his sleep. He had been with me since I was two. I am a little off balance as not only has my office been restructured, I have left the RN and now my whole life is in turmoil as I have no one to look after me. He was a real rock and almost a part of the family.”
The RN appears to refer to the Royal Navy, which the former prince had left in July of 2001.
Reports at the time share how Andrew’s valet, Michael Perry, had died just days before the email was sent.
A report in the Daily Mirror described Andrew and his brother Edward as “devastated” over the loss.
The report described how Perry had cared for Andrew since he was two and that the former prince was holidaying at Balmoral.
Ghislaine Maxwell talks ‘inappropriate’ friends
Maxwell responded to the email, stating: “So sorry to disappoint you. However, the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends.”
There has not been any verification of the sender of the email.
A conversation between ‘A’ and Maxwell went on to discuss a trip to Peru.
‘A’ reportedly penned to Maxwell: “As for girls well I leave that entirely to you and Juan Estoban! I am going to have more time after tomorrow to know what will happen and when in Peru so I will be in touch again on Friday.”
Sender’s trip to Peru with Ghislaine Maxwell
The email allegedly responded to forwarded messages including someone called Juan Esteban Ganoza.
The emails outlined possible activities on a visit to Peru, including visiting the Nazca Lines.
Andrew did visit Peru in March, 2002.
In the emails about the trip, Ghislaine Maxwell seems to mention the name ‘Andrew’.
She wrote: “I just gave Andrew your telephone no. He is interested in seeing the Nazca Lines. He can ride but it is not his favorite sport ie pass on the horses. Some sight seeing some 2 legged sight seeing (read intelligent pretty fun and from good families) and he will be very happy. I know I can rely on you to show him a wonderful time and that you will only introduce him to friends that you can trust and rely on to be friendly and discreet and fun. He does not want to read about any trip in the papers whom or what he saw.” [sic]
‘A’ goes on to reply to the sentence seemingly referencing him. They replied: “I will ring him today if I can.”
The identity of ‘A’ isn’t confirmed from the emails and it’s unclear if it was Andrew.
Royal Insider has contacted Buckingham Palace and Andrew’s office for comment.
