The Duke of York was in contact with the US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein longer than he had previously admitted, emails published in court documents appear to show.
“Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!” said an email sent to Epstein from a “member of the British Royal Family”, believed to be Prince Andrew.
The court documents, from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), show the email as being sent in February 2011.
In his BBC Newsnight interview, Prince Andrew had said he had not seen or spoken to Epstein after going to his house in New York in December 2010, a meeting which he described as a “wrong decision”.
The email was revealed in a court case involving the FCA and banker Jes Staley, who was banned from senior positions in the financial services industry over claims he had not fully revealed the extent of his relationship with Epstein.

And in a departure from typical Royal shenanigans, King Charles partners with Amazon for his documentary
King Charles is set to feature in a new documentary for Amazon Prime Video.
Filming has already started, with the project expected to highlight his environmental charity work in the UK and overseas.
The King has long been a champion of nature and green causes, and explored the themes in his 2010 book, entitled Harmony: A New Way of Looking At Our World.
The decision to partner with US media giant Amazon marks a departure for the Royal Family who have typically worked with British networks for big on-screen appearances.
The exception is the Sussexes, who have a multi-million pound deal with rival streaming platform Netflix.
