Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein that they would “play some more soon” two months after he claims to have ended contact with the convicted paedophile. Newly surfaced messages have revealed the Duke of York remained in contact with the disgraced financier until February 2011 - despite having claimed he cut him off in December 2010.

“Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!” read an email sent to Epstein from an unnamed royal, believed to be Andrew, in February 2011, the outlets said. In another email, sent in June 2010, Epstein asked the royal if he could “find time to show jes around with vera that would be fun.” The royal then asked who Vera was.

The emails were disclosed in a filing by the Financial Conduct Authority, who are defending an appeal by former Barclays boss, Jes Staley.

Prince Andrew was reportedly still exchanging emails with Jeffrey Epstein in February 2011 - despite claiming they had cut contact two months prior.
