A second woman has alleged that she was sent to the UK by Jeffrey Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, her lawyer has claimed.
The encounter allegedly occurred at Royal Lodge in 2010. The woman, who is not from the UK, was in her 20s at the time.
The woman’s lawyer, Brad Edwards from the US law firm Edwards Henderson, said that after she spent the night with Andrew, the woman was given a tour of Buckingham Palace and tea.
“We’re talking about at least one woman who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein over to Prince Andrew. And she even had, after a night with Prince Andrew, a tour of Buckingham Palace,” the lawyer said.

The woman’s revelation of spending the night at Andrew’s home is the first time a survivor of Epstein has claimed a sexual encounter occurred at a royal home.
Buckingham Palace records the names of tour guests, but it is not possible for the tour to be corroborated without the woman’s identity being revealed.
Mr Edwards represents more than 200 of Epstein’s survivors worldwide and represented Virginia Giuffre.
She alleged that she was brought to London to have sex with the former Duke of York in 2001, when she was 17.
Ms Giuffre said she was forced to have sex with Andrew two more times between 2001 and 2002.
One time in New York and another on Epstein’s private island.

Epstein was convicted in 2008 of prostituting a 14-year-old girl in Florida and completed his sentence in 2010.
Mr Edwards told the BBC that there were communications between his client and the former prince before their encounter, where she claims they spent the night.
He said he had been in contact with “certain legal counsel” of Andrew in the US, but that the disgraced former royal had “seemingly been disconnected from his lawyers.”
Mr Edwards said that communications stopped after King Charles formally removed Andrew’s royal titles.
The lawyer also said stripping Andrew of his titles has allowed him to maintain that he has no money to offer compensation and therefore “allowing these women to just suffer”.
“So the idea that the Royal Family so far cares about the victims, wanted to make things right – what they have done by simply stripping Prince Andrew of his titles and nothing more, has had the exact opposite effect of what they claim they are trying to do,” he said
This is the first time a survivor of Epstein has claimed a sexual encounter occurred at a royal home.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing and has denied ever knowing Virginia Giuffre.
