A former aide to Jeffrey Epstein has made new claims suggesting she once dined with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at Buckingham Palace and attended Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday celebrations.
Sarah Kellen, who worked for Epstein for more than a decade starting in 2001, testified last month before the U.S. House Oversight Committee, in which she described a deeply disturbing and abusive relationship with the convicted sex offender.
She also pushed back against previous portrayals of her role, rejecting claims that she was a key organizer within her inner circle.
During the hearing, Kellen referred to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah, Duchess of York as “high-profile people” she met through Epstein.
She alleged she attended a dinner at what she described as Andrew’s private apartment at Buckingham Palace, as well as Beatrice’s 18th birthday party.
In previous investigations and interviews, Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and said he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal activities at the time of their contact.
He also disputed claims about his involvement in Epstein-related social events.
The former royal has already faced legal and reputational fallout over his association with Epstein, including a settlement of a civil case in the United States and ongoing questions raised in the United Kingdom and abroad.
British authorities also confirmed that they were examining aspects of the historical allegations as part of wider assessments.
