Newly released documents from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) have shed new light on the highly scrutinized past of Prince Andrew, a former British royal. A series of photographs appears to show the prince crouched over a woman who is lying on the floor, sparking renewed questions about his involvement with late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The images, part of over three million documents, videos, and photos made public by the DOJ, have reignited speculation that Prince Andrew was involved in wrongdoing. The prince has consistently denied any wrongdoing but has already lost his royal titles.
According to reports, the three photographs show a man believed to be Prince Andrew leaning over a woman who is sprawled flat on her back with her arms outstretched. He is barefoot and wearing jeans and a white polo shirt, while another unidentified person appears seated in a leopard-print chair in the background.
There is no indication of wrongdoing in the circumstances surrounding the pictures. However, officials have released no details about the situation, fueling further speculation. The DOJ has confirmed that tens of thousands of items remain under review.
The release comes as part of a massive public disclosure of Epstein-related evidence, with over 3.5 million pages released so far. The DOJ stated that reviewers were instructed to limit redactions to protect victims and their families, while notable individuals and politicians were not redacted.
Email exchanges between Epstein and Prince Andrew from 2010 have also reappeared in the newly published files, including messages proposing introducing him to a "beautiful, trustworthy" 26-year-old Russian woman. Other exchanges suggest that Prince Andrew offered Epstein "lots of privacy" at Buckingham Palace.
The latest development marks another chapter in the ongoing saga surrounding Prince Andrew's involvement with Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking minors. The prince has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing but faces mounting public scrutiny and media attention.
As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen whether Prince Andrew will ultimately face charges or consequences for his alleged actions. One thing is certain β his reputation has already suffered significantly, and he will likely continue to face intense scrutiny in the days and weeks ahead.
