As per ITV, Epstein allegedly sent an email to a lawyer claiming “the Palace” had asked him to take legal action against the New York Post over supposed phone hacking.
In the email, dated July 12, 2011, Epstein sought legal advice about whether he should open a case against the Rupert Murdoch’s News International tabloid.
The email says: “If you have been following the issues of Rupert Murdoch, and News intl. He closed one of his newspapers in London, after it was caught hacking phone.
“Well, there is no love lost in the palace for him. They say they have evidence that the NY post hacked my phones, to get to Prince Andrew.
Jeffrey Epstein’s email about ‘the palace’
“The palace has asked if i would bring an action in new york. a.) I am not a sympathetic figure, but the girl who accused Andrew is even less credible than Strauss Kahn’s maid b.) I’m not sure if I want the battle. c) I’m not sure if you would be conflicted.”
The full context of this email is yet to be confirmed. It is unclear whether Epstein means Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor or the institution as a whole.
Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.
As the email lacks any further detail, it is difficult to establish what kind of contact with either Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor or the institution Epstein might have had.
The vague description in the email alludes to “the palace,” sharing advice with Epstein. However, it could mean that the convicted sex offender had simply heard the claims from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor himself.
Epstein and News International
The email was sent just two days after News of the World closed down after its owners, News International, admitted the scale of hacking that had been going on, according to reports.
News International had been battling against allegations of unlawful information gathering for two years.
One of its private investigators and the News of the World’s royal editor were jailed in 2007 due to a story they had gleaned from hacking.

Upon stripping Andrew of his titles last year, Buckingham Palace stated: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.
