Newly released Epstein files include an email from someone identifying as "A" at Balmoral in August 2001, requesting Ghislaine Maxwell find "inappropriate friends." The email was sent from "abx17@dial.pipex.com." Maxwell responded that she had only found "appropriate friends." Another email address, "aace@dial.pipex.com," is listed under "Duke of York" in Epstein's phone book. Further emails between Maxwell and "The Invisible Man," using both email addresses, discuss a trip to Peru in 2002, including arrangements for "girls." The sender of the emails signed off as "A." The BBC has contacted Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's team for a response, although the emails do not indicate any wrongdoing.
