A surprising story involving former royal ex-Prince Andrew and retail billionaire Les Wexner has emerged during recent testimony linked to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. During a congressional deposition, Wexner recalled receiving an unexpected phone call from Andrew many years ago. According to the businessman, the former royal allegedly introduced himself and offered advice on airplane deals.
Les Wexner recalls ‘brief two sentence’ interaction with ex-Prince Andrew during Epstein deposition
During a deposition tied to the newly released Epstein files, retail magnate Les Wexner shared what he described as a strange phone call he once received from ex-Prince Andrew. Wexner said the conversation was extremely short but memorable enough that he recalled it while answering questions from investigators.
Per The Sun’s report, Wexner told lawmakers that the caller introduced himself as “Andrew Windsor.” According to the businessman, the former royal suggested he could assist with aircraft transactions.
Wexner said Andrew allegedly mentioned helping his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, purchase an aircraft. The ex-duke apparently further noted that he was aware Wexner had experience buying and selling planes.
“I had one brief like two sentence funny conversation,” Wexner said during the deposition, adding that the call came to him while he was in Columbus, Ohio. Recounting the moment, he said Andrew proposed that he could be helpful in advising on airplane deals. Wexner said his response was short: “No, thank you. We’re covered and have a nice day.”
Wexner told investigators he found the call so unexpected that he “laughed” afterward, describing it as an unusual interaction.
A member of the House Oversight Committee reportedly asked Wexner why the then-Duke of York would reach out about something like aircraft purchases. Wexner replied that he had wondered the same thing, saying the call came “out of the blue.”
The anecdote surfaced as part of wider questioning about Wexner’s past ties to Epstein. The former Victoria’s Secret principal owner maintained a long business relationship with Epstein, even selling him the “Lolita Express,” before cutting ties in 2007, after he said he discovered the financier had allegedly “misappropriated” large sums of money.
Over the years, several allegations linked to Epstein’s activities have referenced Wexner or properties connected to him. However, the businessman has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime, as of yet.
