The name of Prince Laurent has appeared in the latest Epstein files published released on Friday, according to Het Laatste Nieuws.
One of the released emails shows the late American businessman and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein passing on the name and contact details of King Philippe’s brother to his assistant.
However, the email exchange does not prove that Prince Laurent had any contact with Epstein.
On 17 October 2012, Epstein sent Laurent’s contact details to his assistant, who replied, “I’ll add this contact to the address book.” The assistant then asked, “Unless you want me to call him now?”
The released documents contain no response from Epstein to this question.
Copies of Epstein’s address book show that the prince’s name was indeed listed among his contacts.
However, Prince Laurent’s name does not appear in the Epstein case files.
Het Laatste Nieuws reached out to Prince Laurent for a response, but he declined to comment. The Royal Palace was also unavailable for comment on Saturday afternoon.
