Prince Andrew spent 'weeks' at Jeffrey Epstein's home and would get 'daily massages,' witness claims

• Prince Andrew spent weeks at Jeffrey Epstein's Florida home, a former Epstein employee said.
• The prince would get "daily massages" during his stay, the witness claimed.

A witness claimed that Prince Andrew spent "weeks" staying at Jeffrey Epstein's home and would get "daily massages," according to recently unsealed documents.

Juan Alessi, who managed Epstein's home in Palm Beach, Florida, said that the British royal would stay in the guest room for extended periods, the BBC reported.

Alessi told investigators in a 2009 deposition that the prince would get "daily massages," adding: "I can't remember if he had more than one [per day], but I think it was just a massage for him."

Alessi said that Prince Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, were both "friends" of the late financier but that Ferguson had only once visited the house briefly.

However, "Prince Andrew spent weeks with us," Alessi said.

Representatives for Prince Andrew did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment, made outside of normal working hours.

The revelations were made in a batch of documents unsealed as part of a long-running lawsuit between one of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and his sex-trafficking accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Giuffre has claimed that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was 17, which the prince has denied. Giuffre filed a lawsuit against him in 2021, which reached an out-of-court settlement.

Prince Andrew has denied any wrongdoing and has expressed regret for associating with Epstein even after his first conviction related to sexual abuse.

In the newly unsealed documents, one unnamed accuser, which the BBC said is believed to be Giuffre, alleges that she was forced to have sexual relations with the prince twice: once in Maxwell's London flat and another time in an "orgy" with other under-aged girls on Epstein's private resort in the US Virgin Islands.

British newspaper The Telegraph reported that King Charles is preparing to withdraw private funding for security operations at his brother Prince Andrew's home following the documents being unsealed.

The Palace has not officially commented on the matter.

An analysis by Business Insider found that more than 200 names were mentioned in the newly unsealed documents, several of them high-profile, including former President Bill Clinton.

Prince Andrew was named 69 times in the files, per reports.

The court papers so far do not unveil any major new allegations about Epstein or his associates, and being mentioned on the list does not imply any wrongdoing.

Most of the people named so far include victims, law enforcement officials, Epstein's household staff, as well as friends and family, Business Insider's analysis found.

The names were not part of an organized list that Epstein might have kept, as conspiracy theories have claimed.
