Pictures included in the latest released batch of Epstein files appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on all fours over a woman lying on the floor. No explanation is offered and no date is given. Two images appear to a show a man touching a woman’s stomach, with other capturing him looking straight into the camera.
Being pictured or named in the Epstein files doesn’t imply any wrongdoing. The former Duke of York has repeatedly and vehemently denied any wrongdoing over his association with the convicted sex offender.

In a statement in 2019, he said that during the “limited time” he spent with Jeffrey Epstein, he never saw or suspected “any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction”.
Andrew was also part of an email exchange with Epstein about a “beautiful girl” and invited the pedophile to Buckingham Palace, the newlyreleased files suggest.
In one exchange in August 2010, two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor, Epstein appears to have told an account named “The Duke” he had “a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with” and disclosed the dates she would be in London.
He said she’s 26, Russian, “beautiful, trustworthy and yes, she has your email”. The email suggests the “Duke” invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace and promised “lots of privacy”.
The emails appeared to have been signed “A”, with a signature that appears to read “HRH Duke of York KG”. The email exchange does not indicate any wrongdoing.
In another exchange, 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.
An email from February 8, 2010, sent by Amanda Thirsk, Andrew’s deputy private secretary, extended the invitation to Epstein for the event.
The gathering was scheduled for the evening of February 26, 2010, and was to include drinks followed by dinner at the palace. Thirsk noted the dress code as “suits and cocktail dresses”, adding a remark about her “mysterious mischief”.
When someone later followed up to ask whether Epstein planned to attend, he replied briefly that he was “not able”.
