Prince Andrew reportedly offered assistance to Jeffrey Epstein in arranging a meeting with the daughter of the Australian prime minister. Epstein’s email to Andrew in 2011 requested help in inviting Katherine Keating to dine with Woody Allen in New York, to which the prince agreed. This communication, part of the Epstein Files under review by the US Congress, included follow-up messages exchanged between the two individuals.
During a 2011 dinner arranged by Andrew, Ms. Keating, now 44, confirmed her connection to Epstein. She described the event as a large social gathering, attended by prominent figures like Barbara Walters, Charlie Rose, and Katie Couric. Despite being photographed with Andrew earlier at Epstein’s mansion, there is no indication that Ms. Keating had any knowledge of or involvement in any illicit activities related to Epstein.
Although Andrew claimed to have severed ties with Epstein during a Newsnight interview, recent revelations show that he remained in contact with the convicted sex offender. The circumstances of how Andrew and Ms. Keating initially crossed paths remain unclear, with speculation linking her acquaintance to Ghislaine Maxwell, a mutual friend of Andrew and Epstein currently imprisoned for sex trafficking.
