Emails appear to confirm Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was in New York at the time Virginia Giuffre claimed he sexually assaulted her at 17.
The documents unearthed in the latest tranche of the Epstein Files show the former prince was present in the city when Giuffre says she was forced into sexual activity with him for a second time.
Andrew, 65, who has come under fire over his close links with Jeffrey Epstein, has consistently denied staying at the billionaire financier’s £60million Manhattan mansion in April 2001.
But the latest files released by the US Department of Justice show he spent at least one night there.
Giuffre died by suicide in last year aged 41 and last night, her family stated she has been "vindicated" by the latest evidence.
In his 2019 Newsnight interview, Andrew said: "I wasn’t staying there. I may have visited but definitely didn’t, definitely no, no, no activity."
But one email shows he emailed Epstein's girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell asking for a "bed for the night" and quitted his staff during a three-day visit to the US funded by taxpayers. Virginia Giuffre also travelled to New York on the same day, according to flight records.
Andrew is alleged to have first met Giuffre, then known as Virginia Roberts, on March 10, 2001, at Maxwell's London mews home - where an infamous picture of him with his arm around Giuffre's waist was reportedly taken.
Giuffre said they then visited Tramp nightclub and claimed she was made to have sex with the prince upon their return to Maxwell's home.
Unearthed emails show that ten days later on March 20, Andrew sent Maxwell his itinerary for his US visit, writing that he would arrive in New York on April 9 at "around lunchtime".
He wrote that he was staying with the British Consul during his first night and would fly to Boston on April 10, before coming back to New York on April 11.
Andrew wrote: "I will be free when I get back to New York on the evening of the 11th and would dearly love a bed for the night somewhere prior to taking off to Nassau on the 12th, Thursday.
"I am going via Miami. I will have staff with me, but they go back from Boston on 11th when I come back to New York. Look forward to hearing from you."
A separate email a week later from Maxwell to Andrew suggests he may may have stayed at Epstein’s seven-storey townhouse, known as “71st”.
In the message, Maxwell writes: "Any visits to 71st have to now I think be considered public as there was a huge article in the paper w/pictures after your last visit . . . glad about the hospitality."
Flight logs show Giuffre arrived in New York at the same time as Andrew. She accompanied Epstein as he left his £8million Florida mansion and flew aboard his private jet to New York via Atlantic City.
Despite repeatedly denying Giuffre's claims, Andrew paid her an estimated £12 million out of court settlement in 2022 after she launched a civil sexual assault lawsuit.
Andrew made no admission of liability and continues to deny Giuffre's version of events.
Her family stated last night: “Once again Virginia is being proven to be the truth-teller she always has been. We are deeply proud of her.
“As she once said publicly, ‘I know what happened, he knows what happened, and only one of us is telling the truth and I know that’s me’.
“We will not stop until every abuser is exposed and held accountable.”
