Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein gushed over Britain’s then-Prince Andrew as “great fun” in bombshell emails unsealed this week, desperately pushing a top associate to link up with the royal at the elite Davos summit — even though Epstein was already a convicted sex offender.

The jaw-dropping January 2010 exchange, part of over 20,000 pages dumped by the House Oversight Committee late Wednesday, shows Epstein playing matchmaker for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Biotech bigwig Boris Nikolic, a former science advisor to Bill Gates, was rubbing elbows with world leaders when Epstein fired off a casual email: “Any fun?”

Nikolic shot back that he’d already met “your friend Bill Clinton” and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, adding he’d soon sit down with “your other friend Prince Andrew as he has some questions re Microsoft.”

Epstein, thrilled, replied: “You can tell Andrew we are friends.”

When Nikolic brushed it off — “I do not need anything from him” — the predator doubled down: “Yes you do. You need to laugh and have fun. He is good at that… He’s great fun.”

After the meeting, Nikolic told Epstein: “He is great… I think I would trade Davos for a good fashion week.”

The cozy chitchat is raising fresh eyebrows across the pond, where Andrew — now stripped of his titles and living as a royal outcast — has spent years insisting his Epstein ties were purely business and that he cut contact after learning the financier’s dark secrets.

Buckingham Palace sources told The Post the emails are “old news” from a time when Andrew was the UK’s roving trade ambassador, but critics say they paint a far chummier picture.

“Epstein wasn’t just name-dropping royalty — he was pimping out access to Prince Andrew like he was the life of the party,” fumed one victims’ advocate close to the case. “This was 18 months after Epstein got out of his sweetheart jail deal for abusing girls. What does ‘great fun’ even mean in that context?”

The Davos push came months after Epstein’s controversial 2008 plea deal in Florida, where he served just 13 months — much on work release — for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Andrew, then second in line to the throne behind Prince Charles, was officially in Davos promoting British business. Photos from the era show him schmoozing with tech titans and world leaders.

But his Epstein friendship would explode a decade later when Virginia Giuffre accused the royal of sleeping with her three times as a 17-year-old trafficking victim — claims Andrew has furiously denied, settling a civil suit for millions in 2022 without admitting guilt.

The new emails don’t mention Giuffre or any wrongdoing, but they’re part of a massive document haul that also touches Trump, Clinton, and dozens of bold-faced names.

Republican committee members blasted the release as a “Democrat fishing expedition” timed to embarrass allies of President Trump, who once partied with both Epstein and Andrew in Palm Beach.

Democrats countered that the public deserves transparency, especially after Epstein’s 2019 jailhouse “suicide” left so many questions unanswered.

Across the Atlantic, the revelations landed like a grenade in royal circles already reeling from King Charles’ cancer battle and Prince Harry’s ongoing exile.

“Andrew’s been banished to the shadows, but these emails keep dragging him back into the spotlight,” a former palace insider dished. “The King is furious — he thought this chapter was closed.”

Nikolic, who was shockingly named as a backup executor in Epstein’s will days before his death, has distanced himself, claiming he never agreed to the role and was horrified by the financier’s crimes.

Microsoft confirmed Andrew’s Davos queries were routine trade talk, nothing sinister.

Still, tabloids are having a field day. The Daily Mail splashed the “great fun” quotes across its front page Thursday under the screaming headline: “Randy Andy: Epstein’s Party Prince!”

Online, the scandal trended worldwide, with #PrinceAndrew trending higher than Taylor Swift’s latest album drop.

MAGA firebrands rushed to defend the royals — “Fake news witch hunt!” — while British republicans renewed calls to abolish the monarchy altogether.

One X user quipped: “Epstein calling anyone ‘great fun’ should come with a health warning.”

As more pages trickle out — committee staff say thousands remain redacted — insiders predict this is just round one.

“Epstein kept everything,” a source close to the probe warned. “There’s decades of dirt in those inboxes.”

For Andrew, holed up at Royal Lodge with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the nightmare that began with that infamous 2019 BBC interview shows no sign of ending.

Six years after he swore he’d cooperate with U.S. authorities, the FBI says he still hasn’t sat for a formal interview.

With each new email dump, the question grows louder: What exactly made the prince so “great fun” to a monster like Jeffrey Epstein?

The world — and Buckingham Palace — is waiting for an answer.
