Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein gushed to a close associate that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was “great fun” and urged him to meet the now former prince in Davos, Switzerland, newly released emails show.
The pair corresponded six months after Epstein left a Florida jail on charges he procured a minor for prostitution.

Epstein opened the chain by asking Nikolic if he’d had “any fun” at Davos so far.
Nikolic told him he’d met “your friend Bill Clinton,” then Nicolas Sarkozy and would later see “your other friend Prince Andrew as he has some questions re Microsoft.”
“You can tell Andrew we are friends,” Epstein replied.
When Nikolic said he didn’t need anything from the prince, Epstein pushed back.
“Yes you do. You need to laugh and have fun. He is good at that … He’s great fun.”
Nikolic then bragged he’d been “flirting with 22 years old hot blond blue eyes mexican chick,” only to find out she was with her husband.

Epstein and Nikolic traded updates about meeting global political figures at Davos, including Bill Clinton and Nicolas Sarkozy.
“As we concluded, anything good is rented,” he wrote, adding a winking emoji.
After meeting Andrew, Nikolic emailed Epstein again.
“He is great … I think I would trade Davos for a good fashion week. Much more fun,” he wrote.
Andrew’s appearance in the email chain comes as he faces intensified scrutiny over his long-running ties to Epstein and the loss of his royal titles. Florida Southern District CourtThe emails were part of more than 20,000 documents released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee last week as part of its inquiry into why Epstein was never prosecuted at the federal level.
The release has renewed scrutiny of Epstein’s powerful network — including Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles last month and is facing eviction from his Windsor estate over his long-running ties to the late sex offender.
Andrew stepped down as the UK’s trade envoy in 2011 after Virginia Giuffre went public with claims that she was forced to have sex with him at 17, allegations he has always denied.
The newly surfaced emails add to questions about how closely he remained linked to Epstein during the years he insisted they’d cut contact.
Nikolic and Andrew could not be reached for comment.
