Stern also served as an aide to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and according to emails released by the DOJ, corresponded with Epstein over several years, including after Epstein's 2008 conviction and after Andrew publicly stated he had severed ties with Epstein.

As of 2026, Stern is believed to be living in the United Arab Emirates.
