THE Queen's nephew the Earl of Snowdon appears to have been named in Jeffrey Epstein's infamous little black book of contacts.

David Armstrong-Jones – better known as David Linley – seems to have been listed among a string of other high profile names compiled by the paedophile financier.

There is no suggestion that the Earl has done anything wrong, or even had any kind of personal relationship with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.

Mr Linley is the son of The Queen's sister Princess Margaret, is 21st in line to the throne, is an honorary chairman of auction house Christie's, and runs his own furniture company Linley.

He appears to have been named in Epstein's black book which includes some of the world's most powerful people, such as Donald Trump and former US president Bill Clinton.

The connection comes as his cousin Prince Andrew continues to face pressure to speak to the authorities about what he knew about Epstein and Maxwell.

Andrew is known to have been friends with the couple for a time, and has been accused of having sex with a 17-year-old sex slave – an allegation he strongly denies.

Epstein's little black book has leaked online, and The Sun Online verified that the name "David Linley" is listed along with one redacted phone number.

Hundreds of other names in the book appears to include billionaire Richard Branson, former F1 boss Flavio Briatore, former PM Tony Blair, and rockstar Mick Jagger.

There is absolutely no suggestion anyone in Epstein's book had any connection to his crimes.

Florida-based lawyer Spencer Kuvin, representing several Epstein victims, urged the royal to speak to investigators – along with Andrew, reports The Sunday People.

He said: "Anyone with information about Epstein, Maxwell and any of their comings and goings over the past two decades and more should come forward and talk, including Viscount Linley."

Kuvin added: "I am never surprised at the growing list of people that became Epstein’s unfortunate friends.

"He worked his way into every part of society, high and low.”

Epstein and Maxwell are known to have been regulars in high society – being pictured with numerous celebrities at parties and functions.

The financier wormed his way into rubbing shoulders with the world's elite, hiding in plain sight while being a sordid sex fiend behind closed doors.

He killed himself last August while awaiting trial, and now his close pal Maxwell is in jail preparing for her day in front of a judge.

Maxwell – a British socialite – is accused of being his "pimp" or "madam"procuring girls for him to abuse.

The 58-year-old was known to be pals with Prince Andrew, and is alleged to have introduced the Duke of York to Epstein.

She has pleaded not guilty, and has always denied any wrongdoing over her friendship with Epstein – with her lawyers accusing the victims of trying to turn her into a scapegoat.

Mr Linley is known as the royal carpenter due to his furniture business, and became the second Earl of Snowdon after the death of his father in 2017.

The Earl was picked by Prince Charles to work as his number two The Prince's Foundation, being chosen ahead of both Prince William and Prince Harry.

It was announced earlier this year him and wife Serena are due to divorce "amicably" after 26 years of marriage.

David and Serena have two children Viscount Linley, Charles Armstrong-Jones, 20, and Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, 17.

Epstein's death last year as left victims focused on Maxwell, who will face trial next July for sex charges related to the case.

She has been denied bail, and it is thought she may try to seek a plea deal if she would agree to turn over other conspirators linked to Epstein.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the Earl appearing to be named in the black book when contacted on the phone by The Sun Online.

The Sun Online has also contacted The Earl's representatives, but it has been reported in The Sunday People he has declined to comment.
