Queen Elizabeth II

Court documents and media reports indicate that Queen Elizabeth II had minimal documented direct connection to Jeffrey Epstein, with their interactions appearing to be limited to occasions when Epstein accompanied Prince Andrew to royal events. According to reports, Epstein was present at some gatherings at Buckingham Palace and other royal residences during the early 2000s, though the Queen's personal interactions with him appear to have been brief and formal. Following Epstein's 2019 arrest, Buckingham Palace has not issued specific statements regarding the Queen's knowledge of or relationship with Epstein. The most substantial documented connection between the royal family and Epstein centers on Prince Andrew rather than the Queen herself.
