Prince Andrew tried to arrange a 2010 meeting between Jeffrey Epstein and Libya’s Gaddafi, but it never happened.

Former Prince Andrew, while serving as the UK’s trade envoy, attempted to arrange a meeting between Jeffrey Epstein and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi in late 2010, according to newly released U.S. Department of Justice documents. Emails show Andrew, through associate David Stern, facilitated the effort, confirming the meeting was “fixed” and inviting Epstein to contact him. Epstein referred to Gaddafi as “the father” or “the leader” and sought to offer financial services. Andrew also called Gaddafi “Brother Leader” and claimed to have a contact in his inner circle. However, Epstein’s travel records show he never flew to Tripoli, instead traveling to Turkey and France, indicating the meeting likely did not take place. The documents add to scrutiny over Andrew’s ties to Epstein.
