New Epstein files: Prince Andrew photos and Buckingham Palace ‘private’ dinner invite revealed | World News
A large collection of newly released US Justice Department records has reignited the debate surrounding Prince Andrew’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The documents, spanning millions of pages, include explicit photos and emails about “private” meetings at Buckingham Palace.
The release was required by federal law to provide transparency about the government’s knowledge of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring and its influence on high-profile individuals.
Photographs of the Duke

Among the most shocking revelations are photos showing the Duke of York on all fours above an unidentified woman lying on the ground. The woman in the footage appears fully clothed, but the photos show Andrew looking directly at the camera and touching the woman’s belly in two shots.
The content of the images is still under review, but they have intensified public concern about the Prince’s behavior during his friendship with Epstein.
Russia connection
The documents also reveal a 2010 email exchange in which Epstein offered to introduce a 26-year-old Russian woman to the Prince. Addressing himself as “Duke” on August 12, 2010, Epstein wrote that he had “a friend I think you might enjoy having dinner with.”
Andrew’s responses show him asking the woman what was being said about her and whether the woman was carrying a “message” from Epstein. Although Andrew stated that he would be in Geneva during his visit to London, he stated that he would be “happy to see her”. Although Epstein shared the Prince’s email address with him, the records do not confirm whether a meeting took place.
‘Privacy’ in Buckingham Palace
Perhaps the most damaging evidence comes from Epstein and Andrew’s relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II. Records show they were planning a dinner at Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth’s official residence in London.
In a September 2010 meeting, Epstein requested “private time,” to which Andrew reportedly replied, “We could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and have a lot of privacy.” A follow-up email from the Prince invited Epstein to the Palace, stating that he “will be free from 1600 to 2000.” It’s unclear whether the dinner took place, but the invitation stands in sharp contrast to Andrew’s previous attempts to distance himself from the financier.

Epstein files allege former Prince Andrew was involved in torture and complicit in the death of a young girl.
According to the email, he “tortured” another person before “forcing” him to commit the murder.

History of denials
Prince Andrew, also known as Mountbatten-Windsor, has consistently denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
Giuffre Case: Andrew reached a multimillion-pound settlement in 2022 with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. The agreement contained no admission of guilt.
Post: Virginia Giuffre died by suicide at her home in Australia in April 2025.
Official Stance: Andrew maintained that he never witnessed or suspected the conduct that led to Epstein’s conviction.
The Duke of York was stripped of his military titles and royal roles in 2022 and has since lived a largely private life away from official royal duties.
