Prince Andrew is said to be preparing for an awkward New Year after learning his name will appear alongside those of more than 170 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein in a trove of court documents soon to be revealed.
The Duke of York is “utterly tormented” by the early release in January of documents filed in a defamation lawsuit settled since Epstein’s accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed against the convicted pedophile’s mistress, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015, reported on Sunday The Daily Mail. .
“Andrew’s name is there,” a source told the Mail. “He is beside himself with this latest development and everyone close to him is concerned for his mental well-being.”

“He is facing his second Christmas without his mother and now the New Year will begin with his name dragged through the mud again,” sources told the Mail.

Andrew, 63, is expected to spend Christmas at Sandringham with his brother, King Charles III, and other members of the royal family.
Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska last week ordered the release of documents naming dozens of people with ties to Epstein, who committed suicide in his cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
According to the ruling, dozens of people, previously referred to as “Jane Does” or “John Does” in various court documents related to Giuffre’s lawsuit, will be publicly identified when the materials are “fully unsealed” in January.

The judge gave those people, who include Epstein victims and former employees, 14 days to appeal the decision, according to the order.
Several people who are likely to be identified in the unsealed documents have previously spoken in media interviews about their working relationships with the convicted pedophile – or how they were abused by him – over the years, the ruling states.

The defamation suit, which was settled in 2017 for an undisclosed amount, centered on Giuffre’s claim that Maxwell defamed her by saying she was lying about being a victim of sex trafficking by Epstein when she was a teenager.
