The list, compiled in 2025, included the former Duke of York and 10 other famous names who had allegations against them being looked into by the US federal law enforcement's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
The PowerPoint presentation details claims that Andrew had orgies on Epstein's "Lolita Express" private jet, and suggests he was given sexual favours to keep him happy at the order of jailed socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
The slide also made a further claim that a witness saw Andrew grinding on a "young girl' on Epstein's island in the Caribbean.
Other high-profile individuals named in the slide include President Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, former Barclays boss Jes Staley and Victoria's Secret founder Les Wexner.

Alan Dershowitz, Leon Black, former US attorney general William Barr, Glenn Dubin are also on the 'prominent names' slide.
All of the men named have forcefully denied allegations of wrongdoing and having knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities.
Andrew's section within the 21-page document contains allegations of abuse, but it is unknown whether the slide contains any claims which had been verified by investigators.
The latest claim about the former prince comes after his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, also faced new claims around her involvement with the paedophile financier.
Documents released by the US Department of Justice revealed a plan for the paedophile to own a majority stake in the former Duchess's women's empowerment brand after his child sex offence conviction.
Ferguson began a year-long effort to launch Mother's Army, a personal brand to "help amplify the voices of mothers all over the world to tackle some of the tougher issues facing young people and families".
A business associate of Epstein emailed the financier in 2009 detailing the plans for his involvement with the brand.
In it, the brand is stated to stand for "for integrity, consciousness, morals, etc".
In the business plan laid out in the email, revenue was set to be raised by Ferguson through book deals, involvement with children's TV programmes, and speaking fees.
The releases also showed booked arrangements for a speaking event at a women in leadership event at Michigan State University in the US.
The document projected this would earn the venture up to $40,000.
As part of the documents, it was revealed that Epstein would hold the majority stake in the venture with 51 per cent of the equity.
This comes despite his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution.
Two months later, Ferguson provides an update on the Mothers Army project, thanking Epstein and calling him "the brother I have always wished for".
When details of a £15,000 payment from Epstein to Ferguson came to light in 2011, she said: "I would never have anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again. I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children. It was a gigantic error of judgment."
Being named in the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
