Scottish police investigate Epstein's visits to royal estate with ex-Prince Andrew Police in Scotland have launched an investigation into a visit by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to Balmoral, a private royal estate in Scotland, where he spent time with ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. "We have received information and active investigations are ongoing but these are at a very early stage," a Police Scotland spokesman told CNN on Friday, without providing further details. "All inquiries are evidence-led, with the needs of the victim's survivors at the heart of these investigations," the spokesman said. "We will never confirm details of ongoing inquiries and it would be inappropriate to comment further." The British newspaper "Daily Express" reported that the investigation concerns allegations that women were "trafficked" to Balmoral.
