Andrew noticed out for a trip after that includes in newest Epstein photograph dump – and he is carrying a proper royal Christmas jumper too

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was spotted enjoying a horse ride in Windsor today – just hours after he was pictured in the latest Epstein photo dump. 

The 65-year-old could be seen sporting a jumper bearing a royal coat of arms as he drove through Windsor Great Park before putting on a coat for his morning ride.

Andrew lost his prince status and Duke of York title during the fallout from the Epstein scandal earlier this year. 

The latest photo – released yesterday by the US House Oversight Committee – shows him and billionaire Bill Gates at a formal meeting, with both wearing business suits.

It emerged hours after Andrew and Sarah attended the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace for the christening of Athena, the second daughter of Princess Beatrice, 37, and her property developer husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 42.

The image of Andrew and Gates released yesterday has previously been made public by the Getty Images photo library, and includes King Charles, who has been cropped out of the US lawmakers’ version.

According to the caption, it was taken during a summit during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting focusing on malaria in London on April 18, 2018. 

Donald Trump and Bill Clinton also feature in the 19 new pictures from the Epstein estate files.

US lawmakers are currently working their way through more than 95,000 unseen images handed over from the estate of the late paedophile. 

King Charles stripped his brother of titles in late October after weeks of pressure to act over Andrew’s relationship with Epstein, who died in prison in August 2019 aged 66.

Andrew had previously said he would no longer use the title Duke of York following revelations about his friendship with the financier and renewed sexual abuse allegations by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre in her posthumous memoir.

The Mail on Sunday revealed how Andrew tried to involve the Metropolitan Police and one of Queen Elizabeth’s most senior aides in a campaign to smear Ms Giuffre, who had accused him of assaulting her as a teenager.

An email exposed how Andrew asked his taxpayer–funded police bodyguard to investigate the ‘lying’ young woman.

The prince is said to have passed on details of her date of birth and social security number, thought to have been given to him by Epstein.

He also claimed Virginia, who took her own life earlier this year, had criminal convictions, a claim which has not been backed up by any evidence or confirmed by police and has been strongly denied by her family.

An earlier email exposé proved that Andrew lied to Buckingham Palace and the British public when he claimed he had cut off all contact with his close friend in December 2010, following Epstein’s release from prison on child–sex charges.

Twelve weeks later, he emailed the sex offender financier to say they were ‘in this together’ and sickeningly expressed his wish to ‘play some more soon’.

Ms Giuffre alleged she was forced to have sex three times with Andrew, which he vehemently denies, including when she was 17 and also during an orgy, after she was trafficked by Epstein.

Andrew paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with her in 2022, though insisted he had never met her.

The former royal has lived rent-free for two decades at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. 

But following a public outcry, the disgraced royal will move into exile at Sandringham in the New Year.

Other famous names pictured in the 19 new Epstein images include President Trump, along with former US President Bill Clinton, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, actor Woody Allen, US economist Larry Summers, lawyer Alan Dershowitz and British entrepreneur Richard Branson.

There is no suggestion any of these men have done anything wrong. The estate provided the House Oversight Committee with the images as part of the lawmakers’ investigation into Epstein.

In one of the photos, Mr Trump poses with a group of unnamed women, whose faces have been obscured by censors to protect their identities.

Microsoft founder Mr Gates said in a 2021 CNN interview that Epstein joined him for ‘several dinners’, with the computer entrepreneur hoping Epstein’s contacts could help him raise money for global health causes. ‘It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there,’ Mr Gates said.

Spokespeople for Mr Gates have previously maintained that there was no business partnership or personal friendship between the pair.

These latest images are not the highly–anticipated trove of Epstein files many have been expecting after Donald Trump signed a bill ordering their release – a significant turning point in a months–long fight over the documents. The deadline for the full files is December 19.

The Democrats may be hoping this disclosure will keep the Epstein case in the news and prompt pressure to build on President Trump.

There is also a photo of Democrat former President Clinton which appears to have been signed by him. A spokesperson for Clinton has previously acknowledged that he took four trips with his staff on Epstein’s private plane in 2002 and 2003.

The new photos of Trump adviser Mr Bannon also underlines Epstein’s ties to the rich and powerful. Mr Bannon is not accused of any wrongdoing.
