Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor told Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell I can't take any more of this when he was first alerted 14 years ago that a British newspaper was about to run a report about the trio.
His email conversation with the US-based pair was among documents from the estate of the convicted sex offender Epstein that were released on Wednesday, including some mentioning Donald Trump.
The former prince's response came after he was forwarded a right-of-reply email that the Mail on Sunday had sent Maxwell in March 2011, which made numerous claims about Andrew.
According to files released on Wednesday, Andrew's reply reads: What's all this? I don't know anything about this! You must SAY so please. This has NOTHING to do with me. I can't take any more of this.
The latest release comes after Andrew was requested by Democrats in US Congress to answer questions as part of its investigation into Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking offences.
Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, told BBC Two's Newsnight that Andrew had not yet responded to the Committee's invitation to testify before the committee.
He said the former prince doesn't have to get on a plane to testify, he can do it remotely.
Virginia Giuffre - a prominent accuser of Jeffrey Epstein - alleged Andrew had sex with her three times as a teenager.
Andrew, who has denied the allegations, reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022 which contained no admission of liability or apology.
He was stripped of all his titles earlier this month after Giuffre's posthumous memoir threw new focus on Andrew's ties to Epstein and Maxwell.
The latest files shed further light on the relationship between Andrew and Epstein, with one email appearing to confirm a photograph of Andrew with his arm around a 17-year-old Giuffre was real.
In an exchange with a journalist in July 2011, Epstein appeared to discuss Giuffre and her photograph with Andrew.
Yes she was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have, he wrote.
Andrew said in his 2019 Newsnight interview that he had no recollection of that photo being taken and has suggested it might be fake.
The new documents also include an email from Epstein to Lord Mandelson that shows he had contact with Epstein as late as 2016, which has drawn scrutiny amid the evolving revelations surrounding Epstein's network.
