Epstein files: Andrew pictured on all fours over woman in grim new photos | Royal | News
Pictures in the recently released Epstein files show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor standing on all fours over a woman lying on the ground. No explanation was given and no date was given. Two images appear that show a man touching a woman’s belly, while the other captures the man looking directly at the camera.
The appearance of his picture or name in the Epstein files does not imply any wrongdoing. The former Duke of York has repeatedly and vehemently denied any wrongdoing regarding his relationship with the convicted sex offender.
In a 2019 statement, he said that during his “limited time” with Jeffrey Epstein, he did not see or suspect “any conduct of the type that would later lead to his arrest and conviction.”
According to newly released files, Andrew was also involved in an email exchange with Epstein about a “beautiful girl” and invited the pedophile to Buckingham Palace.
In an August 2010 conversation, two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation of a minor, Epstein appears to have told an account called “The Duke” that he had “a friend I think you would enjoy having dinner with” and announced the dates he would be in London.
The 26-year-old Russian said she was “beautiful, reliable and yes, she has your email.” The email suggests that “The Duke” invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace and promised “plenty of privacy.”
The emails appear to be signed “A” and the signature reads “HRH Duke of York KG”. The email exchange does not indicate any wrongdoing.
In another message, Epstein sent a birthday message on February 19, 2011. He added: “This year should be great.”
However, Epstein turned down an invitation to attend Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s 50th birthday celebration at St James’s Palace.
A February 8, 2010 email sent by Andrew’s deputy private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, delivered the invitation to the event to Epstein.
The meeting was planned to be held on the evening of February 26, 2010 and was planned to include drinks followed by dinner at the palace. Thirsk made a statement about his “secret mischief”, stating that the dress code was “suits and cocktail dresses”.
When someone later asked if Epstein planned to attend, he simply said “no way.”
