A victim of Jeffrey Epstein reveals that the convicted sex offender joked about adopting Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor into his inner circle, describing the royal’s visit to Epstein’s New York mansion as surprisingly casual and family-like.
Details of Prince Andrew’s 2010 Visit
Mia, a former Russian model who spent over five years in Epstein’s orbit and later received a payout as one of his victims, describes Prince Andrew’s week-long stay at the $77 million Manhattan townhouse in December 2010. She notes that Andrew integrated seamlessly, with Epstein reportedly saying, “We should adopt Andrew into our family.”
“With Andrew, it was very informal, like family,” Mia states. “He was so nice, he fit in so well. But everything felt very family-like.”
This visit occurred just five months after Epstein completed house arrest following his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Casual Atmosphere and Dress Code
Women around Epstein, many later identified as abuse victims, dressed in sportswear during Andrew’s stay—an informal shift from the strict white blouses, knee-length skirts, or tailored trousers required when figures like Bill Gates visited.
Questions Over Andrew’s Awareness
Mia, who appeared youthful and often mistaken for a teenager, questions why Andrew showed no suspicion toward Epstein’s entourage of young women. “Everyone thought I was a teenager altogether; I look very young,” she says. “So, what were we all doing there? And if he didn’t have any such questions, that’s strange.”
She adds that high-profile guests like Andrew lent legitimacy to Epstein. “People of his level legitimized someone like Jeffrey Epstein. And if a British prince is a guest at such a person’s house… who am I to judge someone like JE, when the British prince himself visits his house, jokes around?”
The Central Park Walk
On December 5, 2010, Mia and other women joined Epstein and Andrew on a spontaneous stroll through Central Park, captured in a widely circulated photo by photographer Jae Donnelly. “We were walking behind them,” Mia recalls. “I remember I didn’t have warm clothes at the time. I borrowed someone’s jacket from the house. It was this huge, ugly jacket. It was very cold.”
Context on Controversial Photos
Mia provides insight into photos from the Epstein files showing Andrew on all fours, leaning over a young woman in the mansion’s dining room. She explains Epstein’s routine “back adjustment” technique, where he would lay women on the floor to relieve tension, causing bones to crack.
“He had this trick when he met women; one of the first things he’d say: ‘You’ve got such tension in your back, I’ll do an adjustment for you,'” she says. “And he’d do these things, lay them on the floor and all the bones would crack.”
Mia speculates whether Epstein taught Andrew the maneuver: “Maybe Andrew did the same, maybe JE taught him to do it? Because otherwise why lie on the floor?”
