The royal family “will stand by” disgraced Prince Andrew “no matter what” despite his name appearing in Jeffrey Epstein’s latest document dump, a royal expert has said.
Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska last month ordered the identities of more than 170 Epstein associates, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, as well as the Duke of York, named in court documents, to be made public, and contain a serious accusation of inappropriate touching by scandal-scarred British royalty.
They were featured in a since-settled defamation lawsuit that Epstein’s accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, filed against Epstein’s late wife, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015.
But although Andrew’s name appeared in the unsealed documents, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield said the Firm is unlikely to abandon the disgraced duke.
“I think the royal family will be by his side no matter what,” Schofield told GB News.
“Not only did we see it at Sandringham, but we remember those clear images we saw of Prince Andrew in the car with the Prince and Princess of Wales on the way to church at Balmoral.”

“I think it has emphasized to them that there are no more skeletons in the closet,” he added.
What we know about Jeffrey Epstein’s list of 170 associates
- Documents were released Wednesday naming 170 associates of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The list included Michael Jackson, magician David Copperfield, Stephen Hawking, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former President Bill Clinton, who one Epstein victim said “likes young women, meaning girls.”
- Disgraced royal Prince Andrew, a known friend of Epstein, was named in the documents and was previously sued by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual misconduct toward her. According to an expert on the royal family, the Firm “will stand by” the Duke of York “no matter what happens.”
- Epstein’s former lawyer and friend Alan Dershowitz defended associates of the late billionaire sex offender, saying: “None of us knew about his private life that he kept secret.” Dershowitz, who is on the list, added that no one should be automatically convicted in the court of public opinion simply for appearing in court documents.
- Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told The Post that the former business mogul said he could have altered the 2016 election because of what he knew about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton: “Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I said the what I know about both candidates, they would have to cancel the elections. That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016.”
- Only a few of the 170 names and their relationships with Epstein have been made public. The rest of the documents will likely become public records over the next week.

Schofield continued: “He’s not a great looker and I think you’re only as strong as the weakest member of your team and unfortunately he’s the weakest member of the team.
“But they are going to support it. It’s never complaining, never explaining. “That will be their strategy.”

“They put the puppet on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the puppet’s hand on Virginia’s chest and Andrew put his hand on mine and they took a photo,” she said of Maxwell and Epstein.
Andrew has denied the allegation, which was revealed and reported in a previous document, according to Reuters.
Sjoberg was also asked about Epstein’s comments about Clinton in the same deposition, whose name appeared more than 50 times in the documents.
