ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor is the Briton most mentioned in the explosive cache of 23,000 Jeffrey Epstein-linked documents.

- BY CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

THERE is one British name that towers over all others in the searchable 23,000-strong archive of Epstein-linked documents.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears 173 times. Not once or twice. One hundred and seventy-three entries, woven through emails, logs, legal notes, diary plans and interview material spanning decades. For all the desperate spin, this is not the profile of a bystander.

This is the profile of a man who had entangled himself so deeply in Epstein’s world that his name now eclipses every other Brit in the trove.
