The Jeffrey Epstein document release included testimony about Prince Andrew’s “daily” activities during a lengthy stay with the sex offender.
Unsealed in stages, the third record release related to Virginia Giuffre’s defamation lawsuit came out Friday including over 130 additional files. Included among copies of messages received by Epstein and legal memos were testimonies like that of former housekeeper Juan Alessi.
The Associated Press noted that Alessi served at the Palm Beach, Florida residence of the influential financier from 1990 to 2002 and was deposed in 2009 when he was asked about the Duke of York’s visits to Epstein’s where he once “spent weeks.”
“And, so when he would come and stay, during that time would he frequently have massages?” the former housekeeper was asked.
“I would say, daily massages. They have a daily massage.”
The line of questioning had spoken to Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson wherein Alessi was asked, “Did — did they ever have massages when they were there?”
“Prince Andrew did,” he alleged. “I think Sarah was there only once and for a short time. I don’t think she slept in there. I cannot remember. I think she was visiting Wellington and she came to the house and we met her.”
“But Prince Andrew, yes, Prince Andrew spent weeks with us,” Alessi added and indicated that the since-disgraced royal was a frequent guest who would stay in the “main guest bedroom” during visits.
Despite the claims about the prince, the housekeeper added, “I think it was just a massage for him.”
That testimony stood in contrast to the more salacious remarks attributed to Epstein in the court documents who reportedly told “sex-slave” Jane Doe 3 to”give the Prince whatever he demanded.”
Andrew separated from his royal duties in 2019 over connections to Epstein and had said in part at the time, “It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family’s work and the valuable work going on in the many organizations and charities that I am proud to support.”
“Therefore,” he continued, “I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission.”

The BBC indicated that it is suspected that Jane Doe 3 was Giuffre who had alleged she was “forced to have sexual relations” with the royal when she was 17 in various locations that included Epstein’s island and at his own former girlfriend’s, Ghislaine Maxwell, London apartment.
The prince had settled with Giuffre out of court.
Meanwhile, the documents also included deposition from Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg who had accused Andrew of touching her breast and groping Giuffre’s while posing for a photo together at Epstein’s Manhattan residence in 2001.
Republic, an anti-monarch group, demanded a new investigation into Andrew over the latest trove of documents and wrote after reporting him to the Metropolitan Police, “It’s simply — the royals should not be above the law. Accusations of criminality should always be investigated thoroughly. THAT’S WHY THE MET MUST ACT.”
