Woman Claiming Abuse by Jeffrey Epstein Details Alleged Encounter With Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Financier's Private Island

A young model's dream trip turned nightmarish after a brief encounter with the former prince before a brutal night of abuse.

It was meant to be the trip of a lifetime — sun, glamour, and a cover shoot for a rising model in her early twenties. But what began as a golden opportunity quickly twisted into a dark and devastating ordeal that would change Lisa Phillips' life forever.

Now a vocal advocate and one of the most recognisable survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's horrific crimes, Phillips has stepped into the spotlight once more, revealing the shocking story of her first alleged encounter with former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor during a stay on Epstein's notorious island, Little Saint James.

Appearing on "The Late Late Show", Phillips recalled in painful detail the moment her modelling career took her to the Caribbean — and straight into the orbit of two of the most disgraced men in recent history.

'He Was Frolicking And Canoodling': Poolside Behaviour Raises Alarms

Phillips had just landed a British magazine cover and several pages — a promising break in New York's competitive fashion world. Soon after, she jetted off to Tortola in the British West Indies with a fellow model for a few days of shooting.

On a day off, her friend persuaded her to visit Little Saint James. At first, the island seemed like paradise.

"It was a beautiful island," she said. The pair explored the grounds and played in the ocean. They even met two other young girls and "hit it off". Later, while relaxing by the pool, Phillips spotted something that made her uneasy.

"There was an older gentleman in the pool," she told host Patrick Kielty. "He was frolicking and canoodling with one of the other young girls, so I just made a note of that."

That evening, she met Epstein for the first time over dinner. "I would like for you to meet a prince," he told her. Then came the brief, unsettling moment.

"He said hello and then he left. I didn't see him again," she recalled. Phillips believes that man was Mountbatten-Windsor.

'Jeffrey Is Ready For Your Massage': The Knock That Changed Everything

What followed still haunts her to this day.

Unable to leave the island that night due to the late hour, Phillips and her friend settled into their quarters. But the peace didn't last.

"There was a knock at the door," she recounted. "One of the other young girls from earlier said, 'Jeffrey is ready for your massage.' That's when things shifted."

She described following the girl to what she believed would be a massage room — only to discover it was Epstein's bedroom. He was lying naked. The "massage" soon turned into a terrifying and traumatic sexual assault.

"We were both assaulted that evening," she said. "We ran out of there, back to the room, and stayed up all night waiting for the boat to come, dawn to break, to get out of there. I left and never went back."

'We Tried To Escape': The Aftermath, Shame, And The Calls That Wouldn't Stop

Back in New York, Phillips tried to move on. She joined counselling groups but eventually pulled away — overwhelmed by shame, fear, and confusion.

But Epstein didn't let her go. His secretaries called "profusely," she said, for months. She now believes the late billionaire was trying to draw her back in — because she had seen Mountbatten-Windsor on the island.

Eventually, Epstein contacted her directly, and the abuse continued.

"Jeffrey liked his massages," she mused. "It didn't happen every time and although he was helping you, you would go and see him, he would talk to you, mentor you and then you would try and escape or leave."

Sometimes it was just a massage. But, more often than not, it ended in abuse.

Unfortunately, the former model wasn't alone.

She recalled a friend confiding that she had been forced to have sex with another man at Epstein's house. That, Phillips said, was when they both realised "there was something deeper and darker going on".

'A Global Ring': The Royal Connection And A Plea For Justice

Phillips eventually moved across the country. When Epstein died in prison in 2019, she found the strength to speak out, connecting with other survivors and campaigning for justice.

She firmly believes Epstein's crimes spanned continents, calling it "a global human trafficking ring". And she warns that many of the names connected to Epstein remain hidden in redacted files.

Mountbatten-Windsor has previously admitted visiting Epstein's island, but has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. He was arrested on 19 February and is now under investigation for misconduct in public office, amid allegations that he shared confidential information with Epstein during his time as the UK's trade envoy.

The Silence Is Breaking — But The Fight Is Far From Over

Phillips' story is harrowing, courageous, and deeply unsettling. Her voice joins a growing chorus of survivors determined to expose the truth — no matter how powerful the names involved.

As more secrets are prised open and global investigations heat up, the world is watching.
