Photos and emails involving Prince Andrew have emerged in a newly released tranche of millions of documents linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, adding fresh scrutiny to the British royal’s past association with the late financier.
The files, published by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday, include undated photographs that appear to show Andrew crouched over an unidentified woman, as well as email exchanges suggesting Epstein was invited to dine at Buckingham Palace in 2010—two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. It remains unclear whether the meeting took place.
Additional documents show discussions about arranging dinners with young women introduced by Epstein and exchanges involving Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in sex trafficking. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and previously settled a civil lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre without admitting liability.
The latest disclosure is part of a massive release of more than three million records following pressure on Donald Trump, who is mentioned thousands of times in the files, to make all Epstein-related documents public. None of the individuals named in the newly released material have been charged with new criminal offences.
