Summary
Police Scotland said it has received information and opened active inquiries into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell over alleged activities at Balmoral Castle.
The inquiry centers on allegations that women were trafficked to the Aberdeenshire royal residence; the force said the case is at a very early stage and declined further comment.
Flight logs cited by the Daily Express place Mountbatten-Windsor and Maxwell on Epstein’s private jet to Edinburgh on 1 September 2006, while a US Justice Department image is understood to show Epstein and Maxwell at Balmoral in 1999.
The probe adds to scrutiny from the US-released Epstein files, including a 2001 email sent from “Balmoral” asking Maxwell for “new inappropriate friends”; Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied wrongdoing.
