Jeffrey Epstein appeared to confirm an infamous photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with his arm around Virginia Giuffre is real in leaked emails released by the US Congress last night.

The tranche of 23,000 files shed new light on the former Duke of York’s association with the convicted paedophile.

Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, claimed she had been forced to have sex with Andrew under Maxwell’s orders in London in March 2001 when she was aged 17.

The claim is a further blow to Mountbatten-Windsor, who previously suggested there may be doubt as to the authenticity of the photograph, including in his 2019 BBC Newsnight interview.

The emails also reveal Andrew told Epstein and Maxwell, “I can’t take any more of this”, during investigations into his alleged abuse.
