Several of them include emails between Maxwell and her “sweet pea,” Andrew, bringing further shame to the disgraced former prince. One of the emails was sent on March 31, 2002 to an address titled “The Invisible Man,” which signed its emails with “A” and is believed to be the King’s brother.

In the email, the disgraced British socialite referred to the person believed to be Andrew as “sweet pea”, and expressed her sadness the day after the Queen Mother died.

Maxwell says: “Sweat pea – sorry you had to rush home, and also under such sad circumstances.

“However much the passing was to be expected in one so old, it does not make it any less sad.

“She was wonderful, and I am happy that I managed to meet her and speak with her.”

She added: “We shall reschedule. Love you. Gx.”

A reply the next day from The Invisible Man, reads: “Got your message this morning. Sorry to have missed you yesterday I will ring later today to chat. A xxx.”

In another email from The Invisible Man, the sender asks a redacted account if they are having more children and labelling them “super sperm”.

The email said: “Sorry – I am in LA on my way to Hawaii. Is it true you are having more children? I shall have to refer to you as super sperm!”

The email subject is “Re: AKE in New York”.

Andrew’s representatives have been contacted for comment.

The former Duke of York has always denied any wrongdoing, but his association with Epstein led to his very public downfall and the King axing his titles and honours.

A person’s mention in the Epstein files does not itself suggest wrongdoing.
