Hidden secret in new photograph of Andrew and Mandelson with Epstein that may’t be unseen
It’s the first time Peter Mandelson, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been pictured together – but there’s another secret in the photo, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it

The newly unearthed photo of Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor alongside paedophile Jeffrey Epstein contains a hidden secret – and once you see it – you can’t unsee it.
The first thing you notice is its similarity with a previously released picture of Mandelson and Epstein, which was attached to the infamous “birthday book” for Epstein’s 50th – along with a handwritten note from the former Ambassador declaring Epstein his “best friend.”
In fact, the photos appear to have been taken in the same place, and on the same day – but from a different angle. The newly released photo shows the same chairs and table, Epstein wearing the same outfit and Mandelson in the same white robe.
The direction of the floorboards reveal this new photo is taken from a different angle, about 90 degrees anti-clockwise from the birthday book snap.
But the picture’s other hidden secret isn’t who is in it, but who took it. Close inspection of the top left of the image reveals a translucent image of a person’s shoulders, wearing brightly coloured clothing.
Just below Epstein’s face, the person’s fingers can be seen, presumably holding the camera on which the picture was captured. The reflection of the photographer suggests the picture was either taken through a window looking onto the deck – or it’s a picture of a picture, with the figure reflected in the glass of the frame.
Epstein was fond of framing and displaying photos of himself with high profile figures around his homes.
While no other evidence has yet been found of this picture on display, it would explain why a photo apparently taken around 1999 or 2000 was in the files amongst other pictures from much later, in the 2010s. It’s impossible to say for sure, but what is visible of the person’s face resembles Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s on-off girlfriend and co-conspirator, who was also friendly with both Andrew and Mandelson.
