What Jeffrey Epstein Client List Revelation Means for Prince Andrew

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Prince Andrew will feel he is "off the hook" after an FBI memo said there was no Jeffrey Epstein client list and there would be no further charges, a biographer told Newsweek. In a New York civil lawsuit, Virginia Giuffre alleged that Epstein trafficked her in the early 2000s to London, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands to have sex with the prince when she was 17. Andrew denied the allegation and settled out of court, paying a substantial sum but admitting no liability. Giuffre died by suicide in April.

Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images The Duke of York was one of the biggest, but by no means the only, high-profile figures accused of participating in Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, with rumors rife on social media of a "client list" detailing the names of famous men Epstein was said to have obtained compromising material on. Now, a Department of Justice and FBI memo seen by ABC News and Axios appears to confirm that there will be no new charges as a review ordered by President Donald Trump "did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties." Nigel Cawthorne, the author of Prince Andrew: Epstein, Maxwell and the Palace, told Newsweek that Andrew would be able to breathe a sigh of relief at the news, having never been charged. "He's off the hook isn't he," Cawthorne said. "The whole thing's run out of steam." Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 as part of a plea deal and died in his jail cell while awaiting trial on further charges in 2019. Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of helping Epstein entice and abuse young girls. Elon Musk's Rift With Donald Trump While rumors have long circulated about an Epstein client list, they received renewed attention in recent weeks amid billionaire Elon Musk's rift with Trump. During an argument with the president, Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on June 5: "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk presented no evidence to support his claim and later deleted the post. The DOJ and FBI said in the memo that there was no evidence that Epstein kept a client list. Cawthorne said some might find Musk's comment compelling, "Can we just suppose that Elon Musk's right and that Trump's on the list?" Trump has dismissed Musk's claim, sharing a refutation by David Schoen, Epstein's former lawyer, on social media. Schoen wrote: "I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!" Trump's Epstein Review In early 2025, the Trump administration ordered a comprehensive review of the federal government's records pertaining to Epstein, whose 2019 death by suicide in a New York jail has fueled years of conspiracy theories and public speculation. The review came amid mounting calls from Trump's Make America Great Again base for full transparency, and the administration framed it as a decisive move to end public distrust surrounding the high-profile case. A DOJ spokesperson told ABC News in March: "Under Attorney General [Pam] Bondi's leadership, the Department of Justice is working relentlessly to deliver unprecedented transparency for the American people." And Bondi herself said at the time, "We will get out as much as we can, as fast as we can to the American people." Prince Andrew's History With the FBI In 2020, the FBI sought Andrew's testimony as a witness, and his lawyers stressed that he was not viewed as a target of the investigation. Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York at the time, submitted a formal request to the U.K. Home Office to force Andrew to testify under oath, though no official confirmation was ever given about whether his evidence was forthcoming. Andrew's lawyers at Blackfords said in a statement in June 2020: "Importantly, the DOJ advised us that the Duke is not and has never been a 'target' of their criminal investigations into Epstein and that they sought his confidential, voluntary co-operation. "In the course of these discussions, we asked the DOJ to confirm that our co-operation and any interview arrangements would remain confidential, in accordance with the ordinary rules that apply to voluntary co-operation with the DOJ. "We were given an unequivocal assurance that our discussions and the interview process would remain confidential. "The Duke of York has on at least three occasions this year offered his assistance as a witness to the DOJ." Berman replied: "Today, Prince Andrew yet again sought to falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to cooperate with an ongoing federal criminal investigation into sex trafficking and related offenses committed by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, even though the Prince has not given an interview to federal authorities, has repeatedly declined our request to schedule such an interview, and nearly four months ago informed us unequivocally—through the very same counsel who issued today's release—that he would not come in for such an interview. If Prince Andrew is, in fact, serious about cooperating with the ongoing federal investigation, our doors remain open, and we await word of when we should expect him."

Although Wimbledon has a smart casual dress code, it's no secret that guests love to make an effort with their looks, and we've found the perfect midi dress that nails the brief. The Karen Millen Rose Embroidered Cotton Organdie Midi Halter Dress was spotted on former Love Island star Faye Winter as she attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show in May, and it would be perfect for the tennis event.

The halterneck has a collared neckline and button up front, giving it a modern, feminine twist. Its flattering cut is thanks to the fitted bodice and flared skirt which has a slight A-line silhouette.

Faye Winter not 'looking for validation' as she embraces life on 'single income'

EXCLUSIVE: Faye Winter has opened up about the reality of being single and why she's no longer seeking a relationship and why she's proud of her success story Faye Winter has revealed she no longer requires validation from other people as she embraces single life. The charity ambassador and TV star has never hesitated from sharing insights into her life and while she's no longer looking for a relationship, she couldn't be happier. Faye, 29, has been single since splitting from her ex-boyfriend two years ago and while many may have turned to dating apps, this couldn't be further from her reality. Instead, Faye now knows her self-worth and while she's had "sexy" men slide into her direct messages, she's happy to embrace life on her own. ‌ But she's not entirely on her own, Exeter-born Faye, has her beloved dog Bonnie by her side, as well as her two "feral" ponies, Keith and Kevin, who she rescued from Dartmoor."I'm always very vocal about my love of animals and it's given me a sense of purpose, " she exclusively told the Mirror. ‌ Faye went on to explain that her animals have helped her "realise and appreciate" things that are "bigger than herself." She said: "It's made me love myself, but also love something that doesn't need to use words and doesn't need to tell me or do anything. "It does enough just by getting me out every day and giving me a cuddle when I need one and things that we take for granted. Sometimes things that we look for in other people for validation. I've always found in my dogs and to have guide dogs in my life and see them go on and change people's lives and in city centres, we really do take dogs for granted. "If you have a dog, you not only have a friend for life, you have a companion, and they give you so much more than we can appreciate." Faye explained that while she's now thriving as a single woman she wouldn't be in the same position if it wasn't for her dog, Bonnie. "She saved me and I say that every single time I speak about my dog," she stated. Her two rescue ponies are also another source of happiness for the star. "I'm really proud of myself because I had no idea what I was doing," she said of rescuing the two foals from an auction after they were "snatched" from the moors. "They've given me back again more than I could ever have wished for in love and also opportunities," she said of being invited to the Royal Windsor Horse Show earlier this week. ‌ Before turning 30, Faye admitted she wanted to buy her own house, something she felt passionate about as a former estate agent. One of her other wishes was to travel to Africa and go on a safari – something she recently completed. While her social media profiles give a glossy insight into her life, it doesn't mean she hasn't faced set backs. "I've had the best time doing it on my own," she said. She added: "So if and when I meet a person, which I'm not looking for, but if I was to meet somebody, I'm not relying on them and I'm not putting that pressure on them to do something when me that I could actually do on my own. "It's taken a lot of hard work. a lot of tears and a lot of self-doubt, I have to tell myself 'You can do this, Faye,' I've got there, eventually. Through all the struggles on a single income and doing it by myself. For me, that's one of my proudest achievements." She says she might not have the latest pair of trainers, but she's happy in her own lane and hopes that her online followers will see they don't have to "follow certain norms to be a success." "Success comes in so many different forms," she said. ‌ One thing Faye is extremely open about is her cosmetic treatments."I've always said, if you're insecure about something, you should be able to go and make those changes, to make you a more confident version of yourself", she said. But she says that these procedures should, of course, be regulated. "There's so many dangerous situations that young women are putting themselves in for beauty standards and beauty standards are never going to go away," Faye said. She added: "It's something that also comes with age, I've found I've become more confident in my later 20s than I was in my early 20s." ‌ Faye encourages people to "do what you love" as she no longer cares about what people think of her, which has come with "inner confidence." This, however, is not something she saw in herself after leaving the Love Island villa. The programme received over 24,000 complaints to Ofcom following a clash between her and her ex-partner. But Faye holds her hands up to this. She said: "I never ever allowed anybody to take away from my responsibility of it and I always held my hands up to it. I've never tried to fob of what I'd done and who I was as a person. I know and I saw myself that I wasn't a very nice person. ‌ "I wanted to change some things about me and I've done it, I worked on that all by myself. You either have to work through it and you can either grow through it or go through it, that's what you've got to do to become a better person. None of us are perfect, I'm far from perfect. "I've come out of it, I might not be that face that you see all over every magazine, and I may not be that person that is constantly flaunting it, but I also try to give out a message that you don't have to be. You can literally live your best life that you want to live." Since leaving Love Island, while some brands didn't work with Faye, one charity, which is particularly close to her heart, stood by her. "I've always worked with Guide Dogs for years and years and years," she said. This resonates with Faye, who is now the face of Omaze's Million Pound House Draw in the Cotswolds. "I feel like it was a perfect partnership for me, as I was an estate agent for ten years before Love Island, it's something that I've always shouted about and always loved. So to get back into it and put a little foot back in the door reminded me of what I loved and kind of who I was and where it all started." ‌ Although the charity draw allows somebody to win a house worth £5million, it also enables them to change other people's lives. "Guide Dogs is actually one of the largest children's services in the whole of the UK, which no one even knows about," said Faye. She added that they help children with sight loss up and down the country. "I was a volunteer for years, and they helped me tremendously," she said. Faye explained that the charity refused to turn their back on her after Love Island, despite the backlash she faced from the public and brand deals. She explained: "I'm super grateful to them every single day for what they've done for me personally." Guide Dogs Ambassador Faye Winter is supporting the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cotswolds in aid of the charity. Draw entries are available now at The Draw closes at midnight Bank Holiday Monday May 26th.

King Charles Seen With Walking Stick as His Health Faces a Devastating Update: He's ‘Indeed a Sick Man'

King Charles was seen with a dandy accessory lately, and it made people question his overall health. It's been over a year since the Monarch was diagnosed with cancer and even his family members are concerned. During the Chelsea Garden party, King Charles carried around a walking stick. However, a source divulged to Hello! Magazine that the accessory is in fact, not a walking aid. They clarified that it's a traditional country fair walking stick.

Before he became King, Charles had showed fondness of carrying around walking sticks. Many of these sticks were sized up to his chest, which signify that it's more of a fashion statement than health has been highlighted over the past month since Prince Harry confessed he wanted to reconcile with his family. He talked to the BBC about how he would like to talk to his father again after losing his security appeal. 'I would love reconciliation with my family,' he said. 'There's no point in continuing to fight anymore.' 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has,' he said about his father who was diagnosed with cancer in 2024. 'He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.' He also added that his father should be open to reconciliation and help solve his security problem. 'There is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands,' he said. 'Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him. Not necessarily by intervening, but by stepping aside, allowing the experts do what is necessary.'It makes sense for Harry's urgency as succession plans might be ramping up. 'Charles is indeed a sick man, and he does have cancer,' an insider told NewsNationNow. 'He also refused chemotherapy and decided on a less invasive treatment. While Harry and his dad aren't speaking, Harry would be aware of all of this via back channels.'
