Queen Elizabeth ‘was client’ of Jeffrey Epstein, document claims
Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case contain a notable claim involving the late Queen Elizabeth II. A comment attributed to Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann suggests he believed Epstein’s “clients include the Queen of England.”
The documents record Gell-Mann’s understanding that Epstein had “given the Queen financial advice.” It is crucial to note this is presented as his personal impression, not as a verified fact or a formal client record.
The released material does not include any direct evidence, such as correspondence or financial documents, to substantiate a professional relationship. This specific remark from Gell-Mann was previously published in a 2003 Vanity Fair article, written long before Epstein’s later sex trafficking charges.
The documents do, however, confirm the well-documented social ties between Epstein and the Queen’s son, Prince Andrew. They note instances where Andrew invited Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to royal residences like Windsor Castle and Sandringham.
This resurfaced claim about the Queen emerges amidst ongoing scrutiny of the royal family’s connections to Epstein. Buckingham Palace has not publicly commented on the allegation.
The late Queen maintained a strict political neutrality throughout her reign and never publicly addressed such personal allegations. This posthumous claim now presents a unique reputational challenge.
For the public and investigators, these documents highlight the difficulty in separating verified facts from perceived connections within Epstein’s extensive network. The Gell-Mann comments underscore the financier’s cultivated image of influence among the elite.
