The Dinner Party: Prince Andrew, Woody Allen, Katie Couric—All at Epstein's House
A December 2010 email reveals the disgraced royal was staying at the convicted pedophile's Manhattan mansion while A-listers were invited over for dinner.
Two years after Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, Prince Andrew was still staying at his Manhattan townhouse. And the convicted sex offender's friends were organizing dinner parties around him.
A newly released email chain shows publicist Peggy Siegal scrambling to put together "a very last minute casual dinner for Prince Andrew" in December 2010—at Epstein's house, where the royal was a guest.
"George: do not think less of me but I am putting together a very last minute casual dinner for Prince Andrew, who is in New York on an unofficial private visit."
— Peggy Siegal to George Stephanopoulos, December 1, 2010
The Guest List
The email, forwarded to Epstein's personal Gmail, reveals the stunning guest list Siegal was assembling:
"The list for far...and we are keeping this private and small... Prince Andrew, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi, Katie Couric....Jeffrey Epstein, where Andrew is staying."
The list for far...and we are keeping this private and small...
Prince Andrew, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi, Katie Couric....Jeffrey Epstein, where Andrew is staying. Jeffrey's house is one the largest single dwellings in New York...it's beautiful. So come to [redacted]...for a very interesting, fast, fun dinner. xoxo Peggy
Read that again: "Jeffrey Epstein, where Andrew is staying." The future king's brother was bunking at a convicted sex offender's mansion—and media elites were being invited to dine with him there.
Stephanopoulos RSVPs
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos—former Clinton advisor turned journalist—was clearly interested. The email chain shows him responding about timing and even offering that his wife Ali would "be the life of the party."
When Stephanopoulos mentioned his daughters were sick, Siegal reassured him: "Totally fine. That's why we are starting at 8:00pm. So come on time and you will have private time with Andrew because he is staying at the house...."
Private time. With Prince Andrew. At Jeffrey Epstein's house. In 2010.
The Bigger Picture
This wasn't some accidental overlap. This was organized social access to a British royal through a convicted pedophile's home. Woody Allen, Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos—all invited to break bread with Andrew at Epstein's table.
King Charles has since stripped Andrew of his titles. But these emails show just how embedded in elite social circles Epstein remained—even after his conviction.
