Charlotte Manley, a longtime aide to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), has said she is willing to speak with police about her time working for him between 1996 and 2003 as investigators revisit issues connected to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Manley served in several senior administrative roles, including assistant private secretary, private secretary, and treasurer, and often accompanied Andrew during his tenure as the United Kingdom’s special trade envoy. During that time she handled travel arrangements, finances, and other official matters on his behalf. One detail drawing renewed attention is a £75 cheque she signed in 2000 from a Buckingham Palace account to pay a South African masseuse whose visit to Andrew was reportedly arranged by Ghislaine Maxwell. The woman who provided the massage later said the encounter at Buckingham Palace was awkward but not inappropriate, though the episode has become part of the broader scrutiny surrounding Andrew’s associations with Epstein. Manley has indicated that if authorities want information about that period, she would rather provide it directly to police than discuss it publicly.


The renewed attention to Manley’s role comes amid a broader investigation into Andrew’s conduct and his long-standing ties to Epstein, which have drawn increased scrutiny following newly released investigative materials and recent legal developments. Andrew was arrested earlier in 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his activities while serving as trade envoy, though he denies wrongdoing and remains under investigation. Authorities are also examining financial arrangements and other aspects of his official activities during the period when Epstein was part of his social circle. Investigators are revisiting records, payments, and travel details connected to Andrew’s past engagements, and former staff members such as Manley may provide insight into how those activities were managed administratively. Her willingness to cooperate with police therefore represents another step in the ongoing effort by investigators to reconstruct the scope of Andrew’s dealings during the years when his relationship with Epstein was most active.
