New allegations are now being made in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal against Britain's Prince Andrew. At the same time, a top Slovak politician has resigned after the new files were released.

Last year, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles' brother, was stripped of his royal titles due to his association with the convicted and deceased Jeffrey Epstein.

Virginia Giuffre, who was the plaintiff in the case against Epstein, accused the then-prince of rape in a case that ended in an out-of-court settlement, despite Mountbatten-Windsor's continued assertion of his innocence.

Walking tour and tea

Now another woman is making allegations against the ex-prince. According to the BBC, the woman claims that she was sent to the UK by Epstein to have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor. The meeting allegedly took place at the ex-prince's then-residence, Royal Lodge, in 2010, when the woman was in her 20s.

The woman's lawyer, who is considering a lawsuit, tells the BBC that after spending the night with Mountbatten-Windsor, the woman was given a tour and tea at Buckingham Palace.

On Saturday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged Mountbatten-Windsor to cooperate with American investigators, something the former prince has so far shown no interest in.

Top politician resigns

Meanwhile, the newly released files continue to cause ripples. Slovakia's top politician, EU envoy Miroslav Lajcak, resigned from his post on Saturday after emails and photos showed that he met Epstein years after the latter had served his 2008 sex crime sentence.

Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit is also among those who had contact with Epstein even after the verdict, which she called "embarrassing."
