Photographs that appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on all fours over a woman lying on the ground are included in the Epstein files recently released by the US Department of Justice. The pictures come as an added source of humiliation for Andrew, who lost his royal title last year, meaning he can no longer refer to himself as “the prince” or “the Duke of York”.
New emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein proposed a dinner between Mountbatten-Windsor and a Russian woman in 2010, raising concerns about Andrew’s past. (Reuters)In one of the images released Friday, Andrew appears to rest his hand on the woman’s stomach. In a different image, the former prince looks directly into the camera. All three pictures show Andrew barefoot, wearing jeans and a white polo shirt. However, the woman’s identity is not yet known.
Last month, another set of Epstein documents released by US authorities showed Andrew leaning on the laps of five women at Sandringham, a royal estate in Norfolk.

Mountbatten-Windsor and the Russian WomanAlso, separate emails released Friday claimed late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein invited Mountbatten-Windsor to dine with a 26-year-old Russian woman.
The messages were exchanged in August 2010, two years after Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
The released messages and images are expected to intensify the investigation into Mountbatten-Windsor, who has endured years of scrutiny over her previous association with Epstein.
Although Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, it remains unclear when and where the images were captured.

The new documents also reveal that Epstein talked about introducing a Russian woman to Andrew. In a 2010 email addressed to “The Duke,” Epstein described the 26-year-old as “smart and beautiful.”
In the correspondence, Epstein informed Andrew that he had a “friend with whom I think you might enjoy dinner”. The convicted sex offender noted that the Russian woman would be in London from August 20 to 24.
In response, Andrew asked what Epstein had communicated to him about him and whether he would have any “messages” on his behalf.
However, the records do not make clear whether Andrew and the Russian woman ever met. A few weeks later, the two discussed the possibility of a dinner at Buckingham Palace, according to records. The conversation took place after Epstein was released from house arrest as part of his sentence after being convicted of child sex crimes.
