\u201cThese censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him,\u201d officials wrote in a statement. \u201cTheir majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is Andrew\u2019s history with Epstein?<\/h3>\n

Andrew allegedly met Epstein<\/a> in 1999 after Epstein\u2019s girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, introduced the two. Andrew had known Maxwell since they both studied at Oxford University.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their friendship materialized fast, as flight logs show Andrew visited Epstein\u2019s notorious island in February of that same year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2000, Epstein and Andrew were spotted together multiple times, including at President Donald Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago club. At the time, Epstein lived in a nearby residence. Epstein was also invited to Windsor Castle for Andrew\u2019s 40th birthday in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next year, Andrew is said to have met and sexually assaulted Virginia Giuffre in London. She said Epstein set up the meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Twenty years after the alleged events, Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Andrew, who denied they had ever met. The case was settled for an undisclosed sum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2006, Epstein attended Princess Beatrice\u2019s 18th birthday at Windsor Castle. Maxwell and fellow celebrity convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein were also photographed at the event. Eight days after the party, police arrested Epstein and charged him with soliciting prostitution.\u00a0<\/p>\n
