New Photo Emerges of Andrew and Mandelson with Epstein in Bathrobes
A previously unseen photograph has surfaced, showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson, the former UK ambassador to the US, seated in white bathrobes alongside the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This image is part of the Epstein files recently released by the US Department of Justice, marking the first known picture to feature all three individuals together.
Context and Denials of Wrongdoing
Being mentioned in the released files does not constitute evidence of any wrongdoing. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any misconduct related to his association with Epstein. In the wake of these links, he lost his royal and military titles. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in a US prison.
Lord Mandelson has also publicly denied any wrongdoing concerning his relationship with the billionaire paedophile and has issued apologies to Epstein's victims. He was dismissed from his role as US ambassador in September following the controversy.
Recent Legal Developments
Andrew was arrested and released under investigation on Thursday, 19 February, over allegations of misconduct in public office, which he strongly denies. The arrest occurred at Sandringham on suspicions that he shared sensitive information with Epstein during his tenure as a UK trade envoy.
Similarly, Lord Mandelson was questioned by police after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office at the end of last month. He was accused of passing sensitive information to Epstein while serving as business secretary from 2008 to 2010 under Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Mandelson was released on bail and has previously denied any allegations of misconduct.
This development adds to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Epstein case and its connections to high-profile figures in the UK.
