Andrew is named in a list of potential witnesses filed by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims and his accuser.
Ms Giuffre's counsel submitted the list - Exhibit 13, page 6 - as part of her defamation suit against Ghislaine Maxwell.
The listing for Andrew claims he "has knowledge of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking conduct" - and had "interaction with underage minors, including Virginia Giuffre".
The new documents also suggested plans were in place to subpoena Andrew's travel records after being listed as a potential witness in the defamation trial.

As Giuffre's lawyers prepped for the case, they advised obtaining "all documents and information relating to Prince Andrew's travel, including to New York City and the Caribbean between 1999 and 2002".
Andrew has repeatedly denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
A total of 300 more pages of documents dropped last night following Wednesday's bombshell release.
The unsealed court files were part of the 2015 lawsuit filed by Ms Giuffre against Epstein's madame Maxwell.

Andrew has been named almost 70 times in the shocking documents which were filled with lurid allegations of sex abuse.
They included claims of his involvement in an "underage orgy" while staying on Epstein's private island and that he groped a woman’s breast while she sat in his lap like “Santa”.
Among the new documents released on Thursday night was a chilling testimony from another Jane Doe, who told how "something horrible" happened to her at Epstein's house in Exhibit 3 page 16.
She added that "Jeffrey took my clothes off without my consent the first time I met him" - and that she was intimidated by people working for Epstein after going to the police.
She also claimed Epstein asked her to live with him and that he wanted her "to be emancipated".

The bulk of Thursday's papers saw Maxwell claim a journalist helped Ms Giuffre "concoct" sexual assault allegations against Prince Andrew.
In one document from 2016 - titled Response to Non-Party Sharon Churcher's Motion to Quash Subpoena - Maxwell's lawyers made submissions that journalist Churcher should be compelled to give evidence as part of the case.
Ms Churcher was helping Ms Giuffre write her book.
The socialite's legal team claimed Ms Churcher was "aware" the allegations made by Ms Giuffre against Prince Andrew were "false" and said she "helped manufacture some of the stories that have been denied".
The document showed that Maxwell's legal team accused Ms Churcher, who was working for the Mail on Sunday, of explaining to Ms Giuffre "how she can corroborate a story to tell the FBI - that she was 'given to' Prince Andrew".
Her legal team also alleged that a handwritten diary by Ms Giuffre, which contained information about her alleged encounter with Andrew, was a "completely fabricated document".
And in an email from Guiffre to Churcher dated May 2011, the former claims ex-President Bill Clinton once "walked into Vanity Fair and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend Jeffrey Epstein".
An order for the bombshell files to be released was given by New York judge Loretta Preska in relation to the 2015 defamation case brought by Giuffre against Maxwell in December.
More than 100 people are named in the files, which include emails, legal documents and depositions.
Andrew is mentioned 69 times in the court files naming Epstein's associates, which also include a number of celebrities and high-profile politicians.
Donald Trump, Michael Jackson, Cate Blanchett and Leonardo DiCaprio are among them.
There is no suggestion that many of those named are accused of any wrongdoing.
An unnamed Jane Doe - widely understood to be his accuser Virginia Giuffre - was allegedly "forced" by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to "have sexual relations" with the Duke of York.
She was allegedly told to "give the Prince whatever he demanded".
Johanna Sjoberg's witness testimony also described the shamed Duke of York using a puppet to touch her breast.
