Royal staff member

Deputy Private Secretary (later Private Secretary) to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, from 2004 to 2019. Described by Andrew as 'my eyes and ears.' Communicated directly with Epstein on financial matters, arranged Andrew's stays at Epstein's 71st Street property post-conviction, and drafted Andrew's denial of Virginia Giuffre's allegations — which Andrew forwarded to Epstein for editing. Fired after coordinating Andrew's disastrous BBC Newsnight interview in November 2019.
