## Summary

Police Scotland says it is making early-stage enquiries into claims that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at Balmoral and that women were trafficked to the estate. The investigation concerns alleged activity at the King’s private Scottish estate and follows renewed scrutiny of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s past association with Epstein.

The article says Andrew and Maxwell reportedly travelled to Balmoral on Epstein’s private jet in 2006, and a photograph released by US authorities shows Epstein and Maxwell at a Balmoral log cabin in 1999. Police Scotland says its enquiries are evidence-led and centred on victim-survivors, but has not confirmed details. Andrew denies Virginia Giuffre’s allegations of sexual abuse; he paid millions to settle her civil case in 2022 without admitting liability.
