Prince Andrew breaks cover after his freshly-unearthed email telling Jeffrey Epstein 'we'll play some more soon!!!!' is revealed

Prince Andrew has broken cover for the first time after an email was unearthed from him to Jeffrey Epstein saying 'we'll play some more soon!!!!' Under-fire Andrew looked chipper as he drove his Range Rover away from his Windsor mansion this morning He can be seen gesturing as he talks to his male companion, while a second shot appears to show the Prince with a wide grin The Duke of York said he had flown to New York to meet Jeffery Epstein to cut off contact A new email emerged where the Duke promised the paedophile they would 'play some more soon!' The Duke of York sent a bombshell email pledging to 'keep in close touch', despite claiming he had ceased all contact with the American financier weeks earlier The new evidence suggests Andrew may have lied in his infamous Newsnight interview and had been in contact with Epstein longer than he suggested Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide Its another blow for Andrew after his most trusted lieutenant confided in alleged Chinese spy - Yang Tengo - that his infamous Emily Maitlis interview was ''hugely ill-advised and unsuccessful' The fresh evidence was revealed by the Financial Conduct Authority as they defend an appeal by Jes Staley In 2022, Andrew paid Virginia Giuffre an undisclosed sum, reported to be £12 million, to settle her civil claim for sex assault without any admission of wrongdoing Regarding the recent emergence of Andrew's bombshell e-mails to Epstein, one of the financier's victims, Marijke Chartouni, said: 'This solidifies the fact that Andrew has selective amnesia when it comes to his friendship with Epstein, just like other powerful men who knew him. It recently emerged that an aide to the Duke told the alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo that the Newsnight interview had been 'hugely ill-advised' It is the latest calamity for Prince Andrew, 64, after being forced to step back from palace duties following the fallout from the Epstein scandal Ghislaine Maxwell was jailed for 20 years in 2022 for finding girls for Epstein to abuse There is no suggestion that Andrew – who did fly on the financier's private jet – was an accomplice of Epstein The Duke replied to say he had seen Mr Staley in Harry's Bar, and was having 'dinner with Jes tomorrow evening'.
