Latest Epstein file photos appear to show former Prince Andrew on floor with female

London
 — 

Photographs appearing to show former Prince Andrew on all fours, leaning over a woman or girl lying on the floor, emerged in the latest release of Epstein files from the US Department of Justice on Friday.

The release has ramped up the political pressure on the disgraced royal, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer calling on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now known, to testify before the US Congress about his links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Epstein’s victims have to be the first priority,” Starmer told reporters during a visit to Japan Saturday, adding: “You can’t be victim-centered if you’re not prepared to do that.”

In one undated image, Mountbatten-Windsor looks directly at the camera as he crouches over the fully clothed figure, whose face has been obscured.

Another photograph shows Mountbatten-Windsor’s hand placed on the same person’s abdomen. In the background, another unidentified person props their feet up on a table, which has a stack of towels on it.

The latest Epstein documents also contain an email exchange between Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor from August 2010 in which the disgraced financier invites the royal to meet a “friend” for dinner in London.

Mountbatten-Windsor replies he would be “delighted to see her” and tells Epstein to give her his contact details.

Epstein then describes her as a 26-year-old Russian that is “clevere (sic) beautiful, trustworthy,” and confirms that she has Mountbatten-Windsor’s email.

The messages are sent two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with a minor.

More than a month later, in another set of emails, Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor make plans to meet in London. Mountbatten-Windsor suggests dinner at Buckingham Palace where they would have “lots of privacy.” Epstein writes that the pair will “need/have private time.”

It is unclear when or where the images were taken; no captions or context for the photographs was provided with the document release. Neither the photographs nor the email messages suggest any wrongdoing. CNN has attempted to contact Mountbatten-Windsor for comment.

Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied all accusations against him and insisted that he never witnessed or suspected any of the behavior of which Epstein was accused. In a now-infamous BBC interview in 2019, he said that he severed all ties with Epstein in 2010.

The Justice Department on Friday released its latest tranche of files related to the investigation into Epstein – who died by suicide in 2019 – six weeks after its Congressional deadline to do so.

The new photographs and email exchanges have cast additional scrutiny on Mountbatten-Windsor over Epstein links, which eventually led King Charles to strip his brother of his “prince” title and evict him from his Windsor mansion in an extraordinary move last year.

In November, some Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee called on Mountbatten-Windsor to travel to Washington for questioning as part of their investigation into Epstein and the late sex offender’s alleged accomplices.

In a public letter, lawmakers urged the former prince to sit for a transcribed interview, saying his testimony could shed light on Epstein’s network and provide justice for survivors.

While Mountbatten-Windsor has not publicly responded to the request and lawmakers lack the power to compel his appearance, the move signals continued transatlantic pressure for accountability.

Starmer’s call for him to testify is a change of position for the British leader, who had previously said he wouldn’t be drawn on whether Mountbatten-Windsor should comply with the Congress request.

Buckingham Palace did not offer a fresh statement when approached by CNN on Saturday. Instead, it pointed to its October 2025 statement outlining King Charles’ decision to remove Mountbatten-Windsor’s style, titles and honors.

Last month, the DOJ released another cache of Epstein files, which underlined Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with not only Epstein but Epstein’s then-girlfriend, disgraced former British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

In one email, a person identified as only “A” wrote from the British royal family’s Scottish residence in 2001, asking whether Maxwell had “found me some new inappropriate friends.” A separate set of emails appears to show Maxwell helping plan a trip to Peru for “A” that involves “girls.”
