Emails Reveal Correspondence Between Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Discussing Peru Trip
Emails dated 2001–2002 reveal that Ghislaine Maxwell corresponded with a person identified as The Invisible Man, believed to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, discussing arrangements involving what they termed inappropriate friends for a trip to Peru.
The correspondence indicates that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who left the Royal Navy in July 2001, maintained a longstanding relationship with Maxwell and sent at least one message from Balmoral. August 2001 emails reference Balmoral and a Royal Family context, including mentions of a valet and Andrew’s recent departure from the Royal Navy.
The 2002 Peru trip involved discussions about meeting women, with arrangements including forwarding Andrew’s telephone number to a contact and the involvement of Juan Estoban Ganoza in coordinating the trip. Exchanges covered the ages of the proposed girls and the overwhelming number of offers received, leaving the selection of companions to others.
The messages emphasize discretion and meeting with friends considered trustworthy and discreet, with Maxwell coordinating introductions.
Photographs later released by the US Department of Justice show Mountbatten-Windsor in Peru during the relevant period, reinforcing the timeline referenced in the emails.
Commentary on the files notes that there is no suggestion that being named in these emails is evidence of wrongdoing. Buckingham Palace and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor have been approached for comment; Andrew has publicly denied the accusations.
