PRINCE Andrew had “daily massages” while he and Sarah Ferguson visited Jeffery Epstein’s Florida mansion, bombshell court documents claim.
Epstein’s former housekeeper at his home in Palm Beach said the Duke of York would spend “weeks” at the property.
More than 900 pages of documents including emails, depositions and legal papers spanning the 2010s were made public by a US judge this week.
The documents were part of a 2015 lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Epstein’s madame Ghislaine Maxwell.
Now a transcript has revealed the Duke of York would spend “weeks” at Epstein’s Palm Beach property and have “daily massages”.
In a deposition on September 8, 2009, Juan Alessi was asked which celebrities came to the house.

He said: “It was Prince Andrew. It was Princess Sarah. The wife of Andrew.
“I think Sarah was there only once and for a short time. I don’t think she slept in there. I cannot remember.
“I think she was visiting Wellington and she came to the house and we met her. But Prince Andrew, yes, Prince Andrew spent weeks with us.
“Daily massages. They have a daily massage. I can’t remember if he had more than one, but I think it was just a massage for him. We set up the tables and (interruption).”

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and told the BBC in 2019 that he had never met Virginia Giuffre.
Andrew, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Stephen Hawking and Donald Trump are among the high-profile figures named in the documents, which include previous testimony by Maxwell.
The documents shed further light on how Epstein would rub shoulders with the rich and famous – openly bragging about celebs he would claim to know.
Two rounds of legal files were released earlier this week while a third batch were unsealed last night.
Last night’s batch saw Maxwell reveal there was a Prince Andrew “puppet” at Epstein’s house after the royal was accused of using it to grope a young woman.
Johanna Sjoberg alleged the Duke grabbed her breast in 2001.
In her testimony, she said Andrew and Virginia Giuffre – then Roberts – were sat on a couch with the puppet on her lap.
She added: “And so then I sat on Andrew’s lap — and I believe on my own volition — and they took the puppet’s hands and put it on Virginia’s breast, and so Andrew put his on mine.”
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and told the BBC in 2019 that he had never met Virginia Giuffre.
But now, in new unsealed documents, Maxwell revealed that there was a “puppet” at Epstein’s home.
In document 1327-28 Maxwell is quizzed over the groping accusations.
She said there had been “a caricature” of the royal in the house.
She said: “There was a puppet – not a puppet – there was a, I don’t know how would you describe it really.
“I don’t know how would you describe it. Not a puppet. I don’t know how you would describe it.
“A caricature of Prince Andrew that was in Jeffrey’s home.”
When asked if the puppet was placed on Sjoberg’s breast she replied:” I don’t recollect.
“I recollect the puppet but I don’t recollect anything around the puppet.
“You characterised puppet, I characterise it as, I don’t know, as a characterisation of Andrew.”
And last night, a list of search terms used by lawyers while combing through Maxwell’s emails as part of the defamation case were unsealed in exhibit one.
They include ‘Andrew’, ‘Prince’, ‘Royal’, ‘Clinton’, ‘underage’, ‘pedophile’ and many of the victims’ names.
Meanwhile exhibit two includes a handwritten note of phone messages left for Epstein.
One says “Abigail Wexner wants to speak to you”. She is the wife of Victoria’s Secret boss Les Wexner.
Model scout Jen Luc Brunel – who reportedly gave 12-year-old girls to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday and pimped out 1,000 women – is also mention in the notes.
Giuffre sued Prince Andrew in 2021 for battery and infliction of emotional distress.
They settled in February 2022 for a reported £10million, though he has always denied the allegations against him and claimed he could not recall ever meeting Giuffre.
