Prince Andrew, Mandelson Pictured with Epstein

0:00On March 13th, a newly released photo from Jeffrey Epstein's files shows Britain's Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson posing with a convicted sex, a fender around a table at Martha's Vineyard. The image, believed to date back to 1999 or 2000, captures Andrew and Mandelson in bath robes while Epstein is dressed, is the first known picture of the three together, with no official date or details provided. This photo echoes another one from Epstein's birthday book, released last year, featuring just Mandelson and Epstein. Both men have long-faced questions over their close ties to Epstein, who served time for child sex crimes starting in 2008 before his death. UK government documents on Mandelson's recent role as U.S. Ambassador flagged his Epstein friendship as a major reputation risk, mentioned four times.

Emails in the files were Bill Mandelson encouraging Epstein's early release and staying at his

Andrew, meanwhile, invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace right after his sentence and chatted about business deals. Both men were arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct for allegedly sharing sensitive info with Epstein during official roles. Andrew denies wrongdoing while Mandelson, now free from bail but still probed, aims to clear his name through cooperation. The scrutiny shows no signs of fading.
