David Stern: Epstein's source who sat next to the queen, sent him lewd messages and brokered deals

David Stern, an investor based in the United Arab Emirates, is identified in the Epstein files as a key connection between Jeffrey Epstein and the British royal family. Introduced to Prince Andrew by Epstein, Stern became a trusted figure within the royal establishment, serving as a director of the St George’s House trust and being photographed next to Queen Elizabeth. Despite his proximity to the monarchy, files reveal Stern sent sexually explicit messages to Epstein and had the convicted sex offender arrange his travel as late as 2018. Stern also organized overseas business trips for Prince Andrew, acting as a broker and unofficial ambassador for Epstein within royal circles.
