Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was mentioned in Epstein email sent before his death

Britain's former Prince Andrew was mentioned in an email Jeffrey Epstein sent to himself days before his death in a prison cell. 

Epstein allegedly emailed himself a contact list to be shared with Steve Bannon, Donald Trump's former White House strategist.  

The email that contained many other prominent names was sent at least five weeks before  Epstein's death.

Epstein died in a New York jail in August 2019. His death was ruled a suicide. The release of millions of records on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is roiling politics, business and even the British monarchy, as details come to light on the disgraced financier's extensive social connections.

Former Prince Andrew, who is now known as Andrew Mountabatten-Windsor, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He is accused of sharing sensitive government information with the late sex offender. Andrew was released from custody after hours of interrogation but remains under investigation.
