British peer listed in Epstein's black book
William Waldorf Astor III, 4th Viscount Astor (born 27 December 1951), is a prominent English businessman and Conservative hereditary peer sitting in the House of Lords. His sole documented connection to Jeffrey Epstein is an entry in Epstein's infamous "black book" — a contact directory seized by the FBI from Epstein's Palm Beach butler — where he appears on page 3 with a single phone number and no recorded address. No further substantive link has been established. Comprehensive searches of DOJ document releases (including the January 2026 release of over 3.5 million pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act), court records, journalism, and other primary sources reveal no allegations, testimony, litigation, or investigative action involving Lord Astor in connection with the Epstein case. Appearance in Epstein's black book alone is not indicative of wrongdoing — the book contained nearly 2,000 names, many of whom were professional contacts, service providers, or peripheral acquaintances.
NO DOCUMENT EVIDENCE ON FILE.
