Disgraced ex-prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, used to boastfully flaunt his royal title in his countless email exchanges with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The cringey former British royal’s emails to the late sex pest always came from a sender simply known as “The Duke,” newly-released copies of their messages show.
The scores of friendly emails were among the trove of Epstein-related documents released by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.
Andrew was officially stripped of his Duke of York title last month amid the fallout over his ties to the late sex offender.
Still, in the years before his eventual fall from grace, Andrew tried to distance himself from Epstein as the allegations against him only mounted.
“Please make sure that every statement or legal letter states clearly that I am NOT involved and that I knew and know NOTHING about any of these allegations,” Andrew fired off in one 2011 email.
“I can’t take any more of this on my end,” he added.
The recent batch of documents also renewed the allegations leveled against Andrew by his teenage sex accuser Virginia Giuffre.
Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, had long claimed she was trafficked by Epstein to have sex with the then-prince when she was just 17.

Mountbatten-Windsor has vehemently denied the allegations and made several disastrous attempts to clear his name over the years – including claiming in an infamous BBC interview that he’d never met Giuffre.
The leaked emails, however, seemingly undermine his past denials and suggest a notorious photo of him posing with Giuffre in 2001 was legit.
“Yes she was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have,” Epstein wrote in a 2011 email to a reporter as he attempted to trash Giuffre’s credibility.
The ill-famed photo shows a smiling Andrew with his arm wrapped around Giuffre’s waist as Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, stood next to them.
Andrew, for his part, repeatedly tried to sow doubt about the controversial photo’s authenticity over the years.
“I have no recollection of that photograph ever having been taken,” a defiant Andrew said in the train-wreck BBC interview that led to him being booted from royal duties.
“Nobody can prove whether or not that photograph has been doctored.”
