\n Photographs appear to show former Prince Andrew<\/a> on all fours leaning over a woman or girl lying on the floor, in the latest release of Epstein files<\/a> from the US Department of Justice on Friday.\n <\/p>\n \n In one undated image, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor looks directly at the camera as he crouches over the fully clothed figure, whose face has been obscured.\n <\/p>\n \n Another photograph shows Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s hand placed on the same person\u2019s abdomen. In the background, another unidentified person props their feet up on a table, which has a stack of towels on it.\n <\/p>\n \n The latest Epstein documents also contain an email exchange between convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor in August 2010 in which the disgraced financier invites the royal to meet a \u201cfriend\u201d for dinner in London.\n <\/p>\n \n Mountbatten-Windsor replies he would be \u201cdelighted to see her\u201d and tells Epstein to give her his contact details.\n <\/p>\n \n Epstein then describes her as a 26-year-old Russian that is \u201cclevere (sic) beautiful, trustworthy,\u201d and confirms that she has Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s email.\n <\/p>\n \n The messages are sent two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with a minor.\n <\/p>\n \n More than a month later, in another set of emails, Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor make plans to meet in London. Mountbatten-Windsor suggests dinner at Buckingham Palace where they would have \u201clots of privacy.\u201d Epstein writes that the pair will \u201cneed\/have private time.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n It is unclear when or where the images were taken; no captions or context for the photographs was provided with the document release. Neither the photographs nor the email messages suggest any wrongdoing. CNN has attempted to contact Mountbatten-Windsor for comment.\n <\/p>\n \n Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied all accusations against him and insisted that he never witnessed or suspected<\/a> any of the behavior of which Epstein was accused. In a now-infamous BBC interview in 2019, he said that he severed all ties with Epstein in 2010.\n <\/p>\n \n The Justice Department on Friday released its latest tranche of files<\/a> related to the investigation into Epstein, six weeks after its Congressional deadline to do so.\n <\/p>\n \n The new photographs and email exchanges are likely to cast additional scrutiny on Mountbatten-Windsor over Epstein links, which eventually led King Charles to strip his brother<\/a> of his \u201cprince\u201d title and evict him from his Windsor mansion in an extraordinary move last year.\n <\/p>\n \n Buckingham Palace did not offer a fresh statement when approached by CNN on Saturday. Instead, it pointed to its October 2025 statement<\/a> outlining King Charles\u2019 decision to remove Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s style, titles and honors.\n <\/p>\n \n Last month, the DOJ released another cache of Epstein files, which underlined Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s relationship with not only Epstein but Epstein\u2019s then-girlfriend, disgraced former British socialite\u202fGhislaine Maxwell<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n
