Former Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III of the United Kingdom, is on the floor and touching his body, causing a stir.

According to British media such as the BBC and the Guardian on the 31st (local time), the Epstein file, which was additionally released by the U.S. Department of Justice the day before, included photos of former Prince Andrew with a woman lying on the indoor floor.

In one photo, Andrew was seen touching the woman’s belly lying on the floor with his hands, while in others, he was seen staring at the camera with his arms on each side of the woman lying down or looking into the woman’s face with his hands on her side.

The BBC said the background in the photos appears to match the New York mansion of Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire American sex offender.

Major British media, including the BBC, the Guardian, and the Daily Mail, placed these photos as major articles in the online version, showing great interest.

Additional data showing that former Prince Andrew and Epstein were very close were also released this time.

According to the New York Times (NYT), Epstein introduced a 26-year-old Russian woman in an email to Prince Andrew in 2010, saying, “I have a friend who I think would be great to enjoy dinner with.” Epstein described a woman named “Irena” as “smart, beautiful and trustworthy.”

“I would be happy to meet the woman,” Andrew replied, “and what did you tell her about me?” Did I pass on my email address to her as well?”

Andrew was also found to have tried to help Epstein by offering to arbitrate the settlement payment when he tried to fire an employee suspected of reporting secret stories about him to the media in 2011.

Former Prince Andrew, the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the younger brother of the current King Charles III, has been suspected of having forced sexual intercourse when Virginia Giuffre, an American woman who was employed by Jeffrey Epstein (who died in 2019), was 17 years old.

In addition, he, who has been embroiled in various scandals, was eventually deprived of most of his titles as a prince, the Duke of York, and other medals from the royal family at the end of last year. Since then, British media have referred to former Prince Andrew as ‘Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’ after the family name of the British royal family.
