A young actress who Jeffrey Epstein abused was allegedly told by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor that another woman had complained of the financier’s ‘inappropriate’ behaviour.
A statement to The Mail on Sunday claimed that during a visit to Windsor Castle, Andrew introduced a glamorous actress he was dating in the late 1990s to Epstein.
It was also claimed that Andrew encouraged her to spend time with the US billionaire, who then later went on to sexually assault her.
The woman was reportedly one of the last of Epstein’s victims to receive a payout from his estate in June.
Perry Wander, a high-profile US lawyer, says that the woman confided in Andrew that Epstein had behaved ‘inappropriately towards her.’

Andrew allegedly responded to her, saying ‘he wasn’t surprised’ as someone else had made a similar allegation against the financier.
The woman and former prince were said to have enjoyed several dates, including lunch at Buckingham Palace, after they met in 1999.
Mr Wander alleged that Andrew introduced her to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell during a visit to Windsor Castle in October 1999.

He also reportedly encouraged the woman to spend time with the financier, including flying on his private jet.
It is understood that the woman flew several times on the jet and visited Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion and private island.
Mr Wander also said that Andrew told the woman he ‘trusted Jeffrey and Ghislaine.’
It is understood that the woman did not explicitly tell Andrew she had been sexually assaulted as she ‘struggled for decades to understand and accept what had happened to her,’ Mr Wander said.
An email containing a supportive message to Epstein the day after he was arrested in July 2019 was released earlier this month.
When asked about this, Mr Wander said it did not reflect how she felt and was the result of a ‘trauma bond.’
Mr Wander said the woman agreed to come forward after being inspired by the late Virginia Giuffre.

Giuffre, who took her own life in April, was trafficked by Epstein at the age of 17.
