Andrew Windsor and Peter Mandelson snapped alongside Jeffrey Epstein in newly surfaced photograph
Velieved to be the first known photograph showing the three scandal-hit men together, Andrew Windsor and Peter Mandelson seem to appear alongside the disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in a newly surfaced image.
Andrew Windsor and Peter Mandelson seem to appear alongside the disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in a newly surfaced photograph.
Discovered in the files released by the United States Department of Justice earlier this year, the image is believed to be the first known photograph showing the three scandal-hit men together.
The photograph shows Andrew, 66, Peter, aged 72, and Jeffrey – who died in 2019 aged 66 in his jail cell while awaiting trial – sitting around a wooden table on decking outside while wearing casual clothing.
Andrew and Peter appear to be wearing white bathrobes, while Epstein is dressed in a shirt and jumper.
The picture is understood to have been taken between 1999 and 2000 at Martha’s Vineyard in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, before Epstein was imprisoned for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
According to ITV, the image formed part of a dossier of thousands of files relating to Epstein released earlier this year. Both Andrew and Peter had previously been photographed separately with the sex trafficker, but images showing the three together had not surfaced until the document release.
The image bears a resemblance to another photograph previously uncovered showing Peter sitting alongside Epstein while wearing a similar white robe.
That earlier picture was discovered in a file labelled “Epstein birthday book”.
The extent of the relationship between Epstein, Peter and Andrew came under renewed scrutiny when the Department of Justice released millions more documents connected to the convicted paedophile financier in January.
Following the release of the files, Peter was dismissed from his role as US ambassador.
Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and removed from his country residence.
The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office on his 66th birthday in February.
He was questioned in custody for nearly 12 hours before being released under investigation later the same day from Aylsham Police Station.
Police previously said they were reviewing claims Andrew allegedly shared sensitive information with Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.
After the arrest, officers carried out raids at royal residences in Windsor and Norfolk.
Documents contained in the Epstein files also appear to show Peter passing confidential information to Epstein while he was business secretary.
