Andrew has been pictured for the first time since newly released Epstein files pictures appear to show a man resembling him on all fours over a woman lying on the floor
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been pictured this morning, hours after new bombshell images were unearthed in the Epstein files. The former Duke of York, 65 grimaced as he was snapped driving on The Long Walk in Windsor before later being seen waving while riding his horse on the grounds.
It comes just hours after the release of a string of images that show a man, who bears a striking resemblance to Andrew, hovering over a woman lying on the floor.
These images were among the estimated three million documents and pictures released by US authorities on Friday, January 30. In the photos, the man is seen leaning over the woman as she lies on her back on the floor, with his left hand resting on her stomach. He’s dressed in a white polo shirt and jeans, and appears to be barefoot.
The exact time and location of these images remain uncertain. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently refuted all allegations levelled against him.
It has come to light that Jeffrey Epstein proposed arranging a dinner for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor with a “beautiful” young Russian woman shortly after Epstein was released from prison.
In an exchange between the two, the former Prince asked Epstein if it felt “good to be free?” to which Epstein responded, saying it was “great to be free of many things.”
Emails dating back to early August 2010 reveal Epstein suggesting to Andrew: “I have a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with. Her name is Irina she will be London 20-24”.
Andrew expressed his delight at the prospect of meeting her, asking Epstein: “Will she be bringing a message from you?”.
Later in their conversation, Epstein describes Irina as “26, Russian, clever beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email.”
At the time, Andrew was 50 years old. Whether this proposed lunch ever occurred remains unclear.
Certain portions of the correspondence remain censored, but Andrew can be seen voicing his frustration to Epstein: “So many opportunities that I am frustratingly not allowed to participate in. And so many that are obvious but can’t get anyone to fire on.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the late Virginia Giuffre, amongst the most prominent of Epstein’s accusers, has criticised the extensive redactions in this most recent document dump.
The statement declares: “This latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files is being sold as transparency, but what it actually does is expose survivors.
“As survivors, we should never be the ones named, scrutinized, and retraumatized while Epstein’s enablers continue to benefit from secrecy.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reached a financial agreement with Giuffre, whom he maintains he has never encountered, to resolve a civil sexual assault case in 2022.
Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York, in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.
Andrew stepped down from royal duties in 2019 after an interview on BBC Newsnight, but the publication of Ms Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, and the US government’s release of documents from Epstein’s estate, brought more scrutiny over his relationship with the financier.
It led to the King officially stripping his disgraced brother of both his HRH style and his prince title last year.
