[GRADE A2 — EFTA02536734, EFTA02536747 (Epstein correspondence)]
A March 7, 2011 email from Kirsty Mackenzie (BBC Today) requests an interview with Epstein “on the subject of the stories which are circulating… about both him and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.” The email describes the Today program as the BBC’s primary morning news show and emphasizes its reach. Epstein forwards the request to Peggy Siegal and Terje Rod-Larsen, with the subject line “crazy.”
The documents show that a high-profile UK broadcast outlet sought direct comment from Epstein in 2011 concerning UK press reports about Andrew. Epstein’s forwarding indicates awareness and internal discussion, but no response is documented.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: The evidence shows that the BBC sought an interview with Epstein about Andrew-related reporting. It does NOT confirm that any interview occurred or that Epstein responded.
