Maxwell’s ‘sweet pea’ letter to ‘A’ after Queen Mother died uncovered in new Epstein files

Deputy AG announces release of millions of Epstein files documents

Ghislaine Maxwell sent an email to an address signed “A”, believed to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, referring to them as “sweet pea” and expressing sadness after the Queen Mother’s death.
The email, dated March 31 2002, was among over three million documents released by the US Department of Justice concerning disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell's email included the line “Love you. Gx”, with a reply the next day from “A xxx” from an address titled “The Invisible Man”.
Another email from “The Invisible Man” asked a redacted account if they were having more children, labelling them “super sperm”.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor settled a civil sexual assault claim with Virginia Giuffre in 2022 and was stripped of his HRH style and prince title by the King following increased scrutiny over his relationship with Epstein.
