Scottish Police Investigate Epstein and Maxwell's 1999 Balmoral Visit Linked to Prince Andrew
Scottish police are investigating allegations that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell visited the Balmoral estate in 1999, reportedly at the invitation of former Prince Andrew. The probe, in its early stages, concerns alleged trafficking of women to the royal property, then owned by Queen Elizabeth II. Andrew has acknowledged knowing Epstein and Maxwell but denies any wrongdoing. Police Scotland has sought information on Epstein's use of private jets through Edinburgh Airport amid broader inquiries into his UK connections.
