Lord Mandelson’s sick ‘incest’ joke with Jeffrey Epstein uncovered in new emails

After the latest drop of the Epstein files, pressure is building on Lord Mandelson — especially after making a horrific joke about Princess Beatrice to the convicted paedophile

Disturbing new details of Lord Peter Mandelson’s time with Jeffrey Epstein have been exposed in the latest batch of the Epstein files. In one sickening conversation, Lord Mandelson appears to joke about marrying Princess Beatrice, to which Jeffrey brands it “incest”.

Another three million documents are now in the public domain after the US government released the largest wave of information yet on Friday (January 30). People are still combing through the finer details of the documents, with more and more revelations coming to light.

Now, it has been revealed that Lord Mandelson had had a much deeper relationship with the convicted paedophile than was first thought. Lord Mandelson says he regrets ever knowing Epstein, but has questioned the legitimacy over some of the documents referring to him.

But in another discovery, leaked emails between Epstein and Lord Mandelson appear to show the pair joking about getting romantically involved in the royal family, according to the Daily Mail. An email chain dated October 5, 2009, allegedly shows the pair discussing the potential for him to cosy up with the royals.

In one email, Epstein suggested that Lord Mandelson “marry Princess Beatrice”, adding that “the Queen would have a queen as a grandson”. Lord Mandelson, then an MP, seems to reply: “Remember, I am already her Lord President,” to which Epstein fires back: “Does that make it incest, how exciting.”

Further concerns about Lord Mandelson’s relationship with the convicted paedophile were raised after a photo of the pair on a yacht was also found in the latest slew of documents. The exact location of where the pair were has not yet been determined.

In a previous statement, Lord Mandelson said he was “wrong” to be so close to the disgraced socialite and financier, adding it was not right to continue to be friends with him after his conviction. “I apologise unequivocally for doing so to the women and girls who suffered,” he added.

Coming under increasing pressure from politicians and people alike, Lord Mandelson officially resigned from the Labour Party on Sunday (February 1) after he was named in the latest wave of revelations to come from the Epstein files. This included the now-infamous photo of him stood in his pants chatting to a woman wearing a white dressing gown.

It was later confirmed on Monday (February 2) that this photo was taken at an apartment in Paris owned by Epstein, dubbed the “House of Sin”. This was corroborated through matching the metal balcony of the apartment with the one seen in the photo, according to forensic experts.

The Parisienne apartment, however, was also involved in scandal, as Epstein is reported to have raped underage girls within the home. Following his death in 2019, police in France had searched the apartment as part of their investigation into alleged child sex trafficking.

Eventually, the apartment would be sold for just over £8million on the market, after the asking price had to be cut drastically. Lord Mandelson has yet to release another statement following the latest claims.
