Episode Details

Jeffrey Epstein’s former Palm Beach house manager, Juan Alessi, said Prince Andrew should cooperate fully with investigators looking into Epstein’s crimes, suggesting that continued resistance would naturally raise questions about whether Andrew had something to hide. Alessi worked for Epstein for years and said Andrew stayed at the Palm Beach mansion on multiple occasions, sometimes for several days at a time. He described Andrew as polite and easygoing and said he never personally witnessed Andrew engaged in sexual activity with young women, but he did recall preparing massage tables during Andrew’s visits and said massages took place behind closed doors. Alessi also said there were occasions when women went topless or nude around the pool while Andrew was at the property, although he did not claim to have seen Andrew participate in sexual activity there.

Alessi’s comments were significant because they added another firsthand account establishing Andrew’s repeated presence inside Epstein’s Palm Beach world during the period when Epstein was abusing and exploiting young women. Alessi said Ghislaine Maxwell routinely recruited girls and recalled driving her around Palm Beach while she searched for potential recruits, including a trip to Mar-a-Lago where Virginia Giuffre was later recruited. He also described warning Epstein that his behavior with young women was going to get him into trouble, only for Epstein to dismiss the concern. Against that backdrop, Alessi argued that Andrew had an obligation to speak openly with authorities about what he knew and what he witnessed during his time around Epstein. Andrew denied Giuffre’s allegations and maintained that he had never had sexual contact with her, but Alessi’s account reinforced the broader question investigators and reporters were asking at the time: given how deeply Andrew had moved through Epstein’s orbit, why was he not doing everything possible to help investigators establish what happened?
