A shocking new photo has emerged showing Prince Andrew, Peter Mandelson, and Jeffrey Epstein together — the first ever picture of the trio caught on camera. The image, released by the US Department of Justice, adds fresh fuel to the fire over their controversial ties.
Rare Snap Catches Royals and Epstein in Bathrobes
The previously unseen snap, believed to be taken at Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, shows the disgraced former prince and UK ambassador Peter Mandelson in bathrobes, sitting around a wooden table with Epstein, who is fully dressed. The table is littered with mugs decorated with the US flag. Typical of Epstein-related material, the photo comes with no date or context.
Close Links Under Scrutiny
The image closely matches a separate photo of Mandelson and Epstein from Epstein’s so-called “birthday book,” thought to be from 1999-2000. Mandelson referred to Epstein as his “best pal” in writings. Epstein, of course, was convicted of child sex offences in 2008.
Newly released documents highlight concerns over Mandelson and Andrew’s “particularly close” ties to Epstein, flagged during vetting for Mandelson’s ambassadorial appointment by Sir Keir Starmer. Mandelson sneaked visits to Epstein’s Manhattan pad while Epstein was behind bars for soliciting a minor.
Emails Reveal Attempts to Help Epstein
Emails exposed by the DOJ show Mandelson urging Epstein to “fight for early release,” promising “friends would stay with you and love you.” Financial records also suggest Epstein wired $75,000 to Mandelson and covered £10,000 for an osteopathy course for Mandelson’s husband, Reinaldo Avila da Silva. Mandelson claims no memory or records of receiving the money.
Andrew’s Buckingham Palace Invite and Intimate Photos
Further revelations concerning Andrew expose him inviting Epstein to Buckingham Palace shortly after Epstein’s prison release, calling it “really, really good news.” Emails show they quickly resumed talks about multi-billion-pound deals and introductions to younger women. Another photo shows the former Duke of York leaning over a young woman, her face redacted, his hand on her stomach.
The DOJ’s ongoing release of Epstein files promises more explosive revelations to come.
