When Royal Rumors Collide with Epstein’s Dark Legacy
Just when you thought the Epstein saga couldn’t get any more surreal, along comes a 238-page scrapbook dubbed The First Fifty Years—assembled in 2003 for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday. Now released by the House Oversight Committee, this compilation includes entries that read more like required reading for royal gossip conspiracists than a harmless tribute.
The Shock: “Sat on the Queen’s Throne”
One unnamed assistant—listed under the “assistants” chapter—claims she met high-profile figures including Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Michael Jackson. But the kicker? She alleges she toured Buckingham Palace and “sat on the Queen’s throne.” Yes, that throne.

Not Exactly Afternoon Tea Material
Her entry continues with a list of extravagant experiences: skydiving, attending Victoria’s Secret shows, plus beach bikini snapshots captioned with bubbly “Bye-bye! XX.” It’s a rosier recollection than you’d expect from someone remembered in court files, and a stark reminder of how such spaces blurred boundaries between privilege—and depravity.

Epstein’s Birthday Book: A Disturbing Mosaic of Power and Perversion
Here’s what else is in the scrapbook:
-
A note from Peter Mandelson calling Epstein “my best pal.
-
An allegedly Trump-signed message—complete with a sketch—that reads, “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
-
Photos and illustrations showing unsettling scenes, including topless women, children with redacted faces, and bizarre imagery involving animals and violence.

It’s a curated mash-up of quid-pro-quo vibes, lewd mockery, and glimpses into an influence network that blended venom with velvet rope access.

Why These Revelations Matter
In the broader scandal, revelations like these aren’t about proven crimes—they’re about optics. A woman with alleged ties to Epstein claims palaces were open playpens; power and prey converge in ink and tour memories.
With Buckingham Palace traditionally off-limits, such claims fuel mermaid-tail rumors in tabloids and The Crown-style dramatics in households.
Too Royal to Ask Questions? Not Anymore
These entries raise serious questions: Was Buckingham Palace just another stop on Epstein’s fast track of influence? Was the throne treated like a prop? And most importantly, was this about gifts—and what gifts buy.
Public outrage is mounting alongside calls for full transparency. Victim advocates argue that these documents showcase just how Epstein leveraged proximity to power—and how power can be distorted and deployed to protect predators.
Final Act: The Intersection of Palace Intrigue and Scandal Theater
So yes: someone claims she sat on Her Majesty’s seat, all while flashing gratitude for being “transformed” by Epstein. Meanwhile, his rolodex of powerful friends wasn’t just social—it was a safety net.
If there’s one takeaway, it’s this: in a world where scandal wears designer labels and public trust is borrowed, these images and taunts are more than campy—they’re campaign fuel. Buckle up. With every page turned, this dark fairy tale gets weirder, but the world—and tabloids—love a sequel.
