Jeffrey Epstein survivor Jess Michaels, who was sexually assaulted by him in 1991, has accused the Royal Family of “protecting” Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. She said, “Six years ago, the palace knew Andrew wasn’t just a problem: he could face a criminal investigation. And they sat on it.”

Talking about Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Epstein’s sexual abuse who accused Prince Andrew of raping her when she was a minor, Michaels told The Telegraph UK, “Protecting him meant doubting her. Virginia Roberts Giuffre was telling the truth, and she didn’t live to see them admit it. That breaks my heart and it should break everyone’s. This is what institutions do. They protect powerful men and leave the people they harmed to carry it.”
Giuffre was raped, not once but three times, by the former prince, ABC reports. She filed a federal lawsuit against Andrew in 2021, accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was 17. In April 2025, she died by suicide.
Michaels, a former dancer, told the publication, “I’m glad the UK is finally investigating. A little late, but it’s the very least they could do. Meanwhile, our own government named us as victims, shields the men who harmed us, and still treats us like the problem.”
Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his titles last year over his ties to Epstein, was arrested in February 2026. It marked the first time the former prince was arrested over his links to Epstein, but he was soon released. He denies all allegations.
The BBC reported on May 30 that an archive of more than 30,000 emails was handed to the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior officer in the royal household, in 2020. Buckingham Palace addressed the question about the emails, saying, “Since there is an ongoing police enquiry concerning Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, it is not possible to provide any comment on these matters.”
