[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
Are Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, and Sarah Ferguson the only ones in the royal family with alleged ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein? A source for RadarOnline is now raising questions about that!
The former Duke and Duchess of York have been dealing with the controversy for quite a while, with Andrew getting arrested over his alleged Epstein-related misconduct while working as the trade envoy back in the day. And we can never forget about the allegations from the late Virginia Giuffre, who accused Epstein of sex-trafficking her as a teen to the disgraced royal.

She, unfortunately, is not the only victim of the trafficker. Nor is Andrew the only high-profile guy allegedly involved in or who knew about Epstein’s heinous crimes. He may not even be the only royal aware of his actions, too. As an insider told Radar on Tuesday:
“Epstein’s tentacles were absolutely everywhere. He made it his mission to befriend or at least get to know everyone worth knowing as far as celebrities, politicians and VIPs within high society – and, of course, royals fell very heavily into that latter bracket.”
The source is not just talking about Andrew and Sarah. Questions are now emerging about what the late Princess Diana knew about the sex offender due to her connections to billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed (pictured in above inset)!
The former Harrods boss is the father of her lover, Dodi Fayed, who died alongside her in the 1997 Paris car crash. Last month, a model identified only as Natalie came forward in an interview with The Times to claim Epstein trafficked her to Mohamed when she was only a teenager.
According to the woman, Epstein arranged for her to meet Mohamed at his yacht docked in Saint-Tropez in the summer of 1997. Once there, Natalie said she was welcomed onto a “huge boat” by a “much older man” who introduced himself as “Mohamed.” Several other people were on the yacht, allegedly including a man identifying himself as the businessman’s brother, the late Salah Fayed.
Pictures from around July 1997 showed Dodi and Diana aboard the yacht when it was anchored off Saint‑Tropez on the French Riviera. However, Natalie doesn’t recall seeing either Dodi or Diana on the boat when Mohamed allegedly assaulted her. She claimed the billionaire made inappropriate sexual comments and told her he wanted to “try new things” with her while out at sea. When Natalie asked to leave, he allegedly refused:
“We were on the boat for a while and I remember being concerned about being stuck because I knew that I had other jobs to get to. I asked to leave and get off, but I wasn’t allowed to leave until we docked again.”
Natalie then alleged that Mohamed assaulted her, adding:
“I feel like I was at this point where I had become used to this treatment.”
Just so awful…
More than 400 women reportedly came forward with accusations of rape and sexual assault against Mohamed following his passing in 2023. He is currently under investigation by The Metropolitan Police in the UK due to the allegations, which are ramping up after the Epstein files release. They’re also in contact with the French police, who launched their own investigation into sex trafficking by Mohamed last November.
When it comes to Diana in all of this, Natalie has not accused her of knowing or seeing what allegedly happened with Mohamed, nor has anyone else. It’s also unknown if she personally knew or met Epstein. However, her closeness to her lover’s dad, who appears to have had ties to the predator, does raise eyebrows. The RadarOnline source explained:
“Toward the end of her life, she was incredibly close with Mohamed. He was due to be her official father-in-law once she married [Dodi], and apparently Epstein was excited because he stood to gain more access to Diana through his friendship with Mohamed.”
Ick…
The source feels there is a chance Diana allegedly had known about Epstein, especially since she was good pals with Sarah:
“It’s naive and delusional for anyone to think that Diana wouldn’t have been apprised about Epstein and how he operated – especially as she was also extremely close to Sarah. It was one of those things she turned a blind eye to, like so many others who were in Epstein’s orbit.”
Hmm… we’re not so sure about that. We mean, Princess Diana was known for speaking out on injustice. Her entire platform was genuinely used for combatting it! Also, it’s important to note once again that there’s no evidence Diana knew or was caught up in anything at this time. If anything we feel like if she HAD caught wind of Epstein’s crimes she would have sounded the alarm!
Still, per the source, the royal family could have another massive scandal on their hands if something drops one day:
“But as more details emerge with respect to Mohamed’s alleged connection with Epstein, more questions are being asked about what type of hold [Epstein] may have had – if any – over Diana. This monster already found a way into the monarchy’s inner sanctum through Andrew. If it turns out that Diana was caught up with Epstein, too – even through no fault of her own – it would be a massive headache for the royal family.”
Hopefully nothing will come out about the beloved princess. That’s the last thing anyone wants. What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments (below).
