In a chilling moment live on Sky News, anchor James Matthews read out the chilling email exchanges between Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Three million new pages from the Epstein files were released this week, including photographs which showed Andrew on all fours, leaning over a woman on the floor.

Matthews began the segment by referring to a picture of the pair in the background of the studio, telling viewers: "That picture of the man formerly known as Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, that's there for a reason. I can read you a few email exchanges between the pair. Let's have a look at this one to begin with - this is from August 2010 and Jeffrey Epstein wrote in this email: 'I have a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with. Her name is...' and he names a Russian woman. 'She will be in London 2-24'.

"Andrew replies: 'Of course. I am in Geneva until the morning of 22nd but would be delighted to see her. Will she be bringing a message from you? Please give her my contact details to get in touch.'

"Epstein writes: 'She 26, Russian, clever, beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email.' Andrew replies: 'That was quick. How are you? Good to be free?' Epstein responds: 'Great to be free of many things'. Andrew then writes: 'Great. Any other information you might know about her that might be useful to know? Like what have you told her about me and have you given her my email as well?'"

Matthews continued: "So that's one email. That same month, Epstein emailed to the Duke at the time: 'Already in London, what time would you like me and [redacted]? We will also need/have private time.'

"Andrew replies: 'I'm just departing Scotland, should be down by 1800. I'll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring. Alternatively we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy.'"

After arranging to meet at the palace, Epstein replied: "I want private time with you, however, I am here with [redacted], should I bring them all so as to add some life?"

Matthews explained: "Andrew writes: 'Yes. Plenty of space here for chat, bring them.'"

"Jeffrey Epstein clearly had easy access to Buckingham Palace. Take a third email exchange from the following month, Epstein wrote: 'See you tomorrow night for dinner.' Andrew replied: 'Great, where do you want to go? Private at BP or out in a private room or in a restaurant? Do you want company and if so have you got any in mind?'"
