Ed Ed Perkins Deputy Press Secretary to The Queen and Head of News' Press Secretary to The Duke of York T: F: M Sent from my BlackBerry --- Original Message — From: Ed Perkins To Sent: Sat Feb 26 12:01:39 2011 Subject: The Duke of York - Private Dear Sian, Strictly Private Not for Publication I will forward this photograph to lippl You hove put to me a series of allegations made by a woman called concerning The Duke of York and events in or around 2001. I should firstly put on record that you have in orme me o no evidence which corroborates the claims made by That is highly material given the nature of those claims and your apparent reliance on what she has said. Referring vaguely to a public engagement by The Duke of York as a date which is mentioned in support of her claims is of no evidential value, especially given that the detail of his engagements is a matter of public record. The photograph to E FTA_R 1_00521110 EFTA02017536 which you refer is, similarly, of no evidential value, given that The Duke meets thousands of people each year and has his photograph taken with many of them. I should add that your continued refusal to send me a copy of the photograph does not assist your position, as it may have helped in identifying I can inform you that The Duke of York categorically denies all of the allegations made about him. This is said without any doubt or hesitation. You have now made allegations regarding the behaviour of Mr Epstein. Self evidently, those arc issues for Mr Epstein as The Duke of York has no knowledge of the matters to which you refer. Given the clear and unequivocal nature of what is detailed in this letter I look forward to receiving your immediate confirmation that the allegations you have made against The Duke of York will not be published, or indeed referred lo. in The Mail On Sunday. Yours sincerely. Ed Perkins Ed Perkins Deputy Press Secretary to The Queen and Head of News' Press Secretary to The Duke of Yolk T: F: M Sent from my BlackBerry EFTA_R1_00521111 EFTA02017537
