DOJ-Released Picture Shows Disgraced Former Prince Andrew With Trafficking Victim in His Lap, as His Daughter Eugenie Has To Resign From Charity Over Relentless Epstein Scandal

Another week, another ‘Randy Andy’ scandal.

By now, having lost all his British royal perks, titles, and honors, having been arrested, currently under investigation, one could imagine that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, exiled in a Sandringham farm, couldn’t care less if yet another compromising picture of him has been released by the US DOJ.

But, in fact, it’s the compounding effect this has on his investigation, and also the consequences being faced by his daughters.

The undated images, small and low resolution, are among the 180,000 photographs released by the DOJ under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

They’re more of a blur, these new photos, but they keep the spotlight on Andrew after a slew of compromising photos and documents destroyed whatever was left of his life.

In the meantime, people around Andrew are also suffering grave reputational damage.

His daughter, Princess Eugenie, had to resign from her role in an anti-slavery charity, as the relentless fallout from the Epstein documents continues.

Page Six reported:

“[She] served for seven years as a patron of Anti-Slavery International.

On Sunday, the princess, 35, stepped away from her role at the world’s oldest human rights organization, the Observer reported.

The charity said in a statement to the outlet, ‘After seven years, our patronage from HRH Princess Eugenie of York has come to an end. We thank the Princess very much for her support for Anti-Slavery International. We hope that she continues to work to end slavery for good and deliver freedom for everyone’.”

Andrew accused of watching as girl ‘tortured with electrical shocks’ by Ghislaine Maxwell

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of watching a young girl, aged between six and eight years old, being subjected to electric shock torture.

The former prince, recently ousted from Royal Lodge, is alleged to have watched a woman being restrained on a table and “tortured with electrical shocks” by Ghislaine Maxwell. It’s thought these accusations surfaced in the Epstein files, with an FBI report from July 2020 detailing allegations of sexual abuse involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in Surrey during the mid-1990s.

The claim, reportedly originating from an anonymous tip-off, also suggests that other men observed the girl’s torture alongside Andrew. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently refuted any wrongdoing and charges against him.

This allegation, which emerged in the Epstein files released just weeks ago, asserts that the electric shocks were administered at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, Berkshire, reports the Express.

Surrey Police are encouraging individuals to share any information regarding non-recent human trafficking and sexual assault claims following separate allegations pertinent to that county. The force has confirmed that this appeal is unrelated to the electric shock torture allegations that appeared in the Epstein Files.

The force revealed it became aware of a redacted report alleging historic human trafficking and sexual assaults on a minor in Virginia Water village between 1994 and 1996.

Surrey Police confirmed they have found no evidence of the allegations being reported to them. A Surrey Police spokesperson stated: “After reviewing our systems using the limited information available to us, we found no evidence of these allegations being reported to Surrey Police.”

The dossier of allegations that have tumbled out of the Epstein files and led to Andrew’s dramatic downfall

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest for misconduct in public office follows a vast slew of allegations that have tumbled out of the explosive Epstein files.

The then Prince Andrew was handed the prestigious role of UK’s trade envoy in 2001 in a bid to provide him with a new lease of life after the end of his 22-year Royal Navy career.

For more than a decade, the former duke travelled the world seemingly unfettered – developing questionable friendships and lavishing taxpayers’ money on his luxury overseas sojourns along the way.

His penchant for taking long haul trips – often via desirable destinations including ski slopes and top golfing locations – earned him the nickname Air Miles Andy.

He was eventually forced to step down from his globe-trotting duties in July 2011, following months of public outcry over his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Now mounting claims suggest he may have exploited his position for something for more sinister than mere travel perks.

Andrew is arrested and held in custody on his birthday after dramatic police raid on his home at Sandringham amid probe into Epstein files

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has today been arrested on his 66th birthday and is in custody after a raid on his new Sandringham home.

Thames Valley Police held the eighth in line to the British throne on suspicion of misconduct in public office this morning.

The Daily Mail was the first to reveal plain-clothes police, carried in six unmarked vehicles, had arrived at Wood Farm, where Andrew now lives, at 8am this morning. 

A convoy including at least two royal Land Rovers linked to Andrew was photographed leaving the estate less than an hour later. His arrest was confirmed at 10.08am.

For the past ten days, detectives have been probing his conduct as a trade envoy for the UK after emails in the Epstein Files suggested he shared confidential information with his paedophile friend, including reports of his official visits and potential investment opportunities.

A Thames Valley spokesman said today: ‘We have today arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office’.

The force said its officers are searching an address in Norfolk – believed to be Wood Farm, where Andrew is exiled – and an address in Berkshire, likely to be Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived for more than 20 years until this month.

‘The man remains in police custody at this time’, the spokesman said – but the force would not confirm where Andrew, who is celebrating his birthday today, had been taken. 

Norfolk Police said it is ‘supporting’ the Thames Valley investigation but did not say if one of its stations was being used by detectives to interview Andrew.

Thames Valley Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said: ‘Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office.

‘It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence.

‘We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.’

How DID Beatrice afford her 20s jet-set lifestyle? Princess went on 17 holidays a year while earning £19,500 – now a royal expert says questions must be asked about how her jaunts were funded amid Epstein revelations

Before she settled into life as a married mother-of-two, Princess Beatrice was known for her constant luxury holidays, and now questions are being asked about who paid the bills for the jet-setting lifestyle that defined her 20s.

The eldest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, now 37, juggles her duties as a royal with her job as chief executive of BY-EQ – the tech advisory firm she founded in 2022 – and motherhood.

But a decade ago, Beatrice – caught in the crossfire between the Epstein Files and her parents’ association with the paedophile – was known for taking lavish holidays worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

In 2015, Beatrice booked time off for 17 holidays as she hit the slopes in Verbier, partied in St Tropez and Ibiza, and lounged on yachts with some of the world’s most rich and famous.

While her endless holidaying drew scrutiny at the time, questions of how Beatrice could afford these trips were largely left unanswered.

‘Her salary at Sony at the time was £19,500, which would not go far, while her lifestyle was obviously ridiculously excessive,’ said royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.

‘It now seems clear that their father’s dodgy business deals when Special Trade Envoy and their mother’s alleged financial dependence on Jeffrey Epstein, could have been pivotal to her life of luxury,’ he added.

‘Beatrice was able to live it up,’ Mr Fitzwilliams said, ‘but now we wonder at whose expense?’

Andrew ‘flew girl to UK on Epstein’s Lolita jet and took her to Buckingham Palace’: Pressure mounts to launch sex trafficking probe into ex-prince over 90 flights carrying girls from around the world

Police are today being urged to launch a sex trafficking probe into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor amid claims a woman was flown in on Jeffrey Epstein‘s ‘Lolita Express’ and smuggled into Buckingham Palace using the codename ‘Mrs Windsor’.

The paedophile’s Boeing 727–100 private jet, which he used to host orgies and traffic girls, landed around 90 times in the UK – including after his conviction for child sex offences in 2008, the Epstein Files reveal. 

Stansted, Britain’s fourth busiest airport, was allegedly used as a hub to transfer victims from one Epstein plane to another. 

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called it ‘by far the biggest scandal of all’ and urged Scotland Yard to begin a criminal investigation into the former Duke of York beyond misconduct in public office and breach of the Official Secrets Act.

‘The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew. I have been told privately that the investigations related to the former Prince Andrew did not properly check vital evidence of flights’, he said.

Today it was claimed that least one Epstein victim was flown into Britain on board and then taken to Andrew at Buckingham Palace. 

The disgraced former Duke of York allegedly told aides: ‘Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly, please let her in and show her up’.

Sources have claimed that other women would be whisked in to see him at his late mother and father’s London home using the same coded requests and with no security clearance.

Andrew ‘shared confidential information with Epstein as trade envoy’

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein from his official work as trade envoy in Asia, according to information in the latest release of the Epstein files.

Emails in the files show the former prince passing on secret details of investment opportunities to the convicted paedophile following his visits to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam in 2010 and 2011.

This was after Epstein was first convicted for soliciting a prostitute and procuring a child for prostitution in 2008, for which he was jailed for 18 months.

Trade envoys are legally bound to confidentiality over sensitive, commercial or political information from their visits abroad.

Emails suggest Andrew had told Epstein of his official upcoming trips to Singapore, Vietnam, Shenzhen in China and Hong Kong on October 7, 2010. He was then accompanied by business associates of Epstein on these visits, the BBC reported.

After the trip, he forwarded official reports of the visits to Epstein on November 30, five minutes after he had been sent them by his then special adviser Amit Patel.

In further emails from the files dated Christmas Eve 2010, it appears he sent Epstein a confidential briefing on investment opportunities in the reconstruction of Helmand Province, Afghanistan, which was being managed by the British armed forces and funded by UK government money.

The messages contradict Andrew’s claim that he broke off his friendship with the paedophile in December 2010, which he asserted in his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview in 2019.

Former Prince Andrew’s NINE-DAY Visit to Epstein’s NY Townhouse in 2010 Revealed in Its ‘Sordid Truth’

Andrew lied to the BBC and the British public about his stay at the late pedophile’s house.

To Emily Maitlis, in his ‘train crash’ BBC interview, Andrew said he visited Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 solely to ‘honorably’ tell him their friendship was over.

That was far from the truth.

Girls coming ‘after school’ and ‘$5,000 cash floats’ – his visit to Epstein’s New York mansion is finally revealed.

Daily Mail reported:

“He suggested he had stayed ‘four days’, but in truth Andrew enjoyed the pedophile’s hospitality for nine days, with the scheming financier organizing a dizzying timetable of meetings and parties – starting with a ‘facial’ cosmetic treat, the Daily Mail’s analysis of the latest cache of emails reveals. Epstein even told Andrew he had arranged ‘a car and driver for your use for the week’.”

Andrew’s ex-girlfriend insists she ‘doesn’t believe Jeffrey Epstein is dead’ and that paedophile is alive in ‘Israel’

Lady Victoria Hervey told LBC’s Tom Swarbrick that she believes it’s a “possibility” that Epstein could be alive somewhere.

“I don’t even think Jeffrey Epstein’s dead anymore, to be honest,” she told Tom, who pressed the former socialite on her suggestion – and to clarify her point.

“No, I don’t,” she insisted, doubling down on her assertion that the convicted paedophile was alive – and possibly in Israel.

The paedophile’s death in 2019 has long been the source of conspiracy theories online, with many believing that he didn’t die by suicide.

Andrew continues to maintain his innocence and has long denied any of the allegations against him.

An anonymous post shared on 4Chan shortly before Epstein’s death was publicly announced claimed that he had been “switched out” and implied that he had been taken away by a “trip van”. The poster said that they were a guard at the prison.

The former prince’s ex-girlfriend refers to an email released in the latest tranche of Epstein files that names the poster and confirms that it was a prison guard.

Lady Hervey told Tom Swarbrick: “I think, just, I’d seen one of those emails, one of the ones that ended up in the files, and I think that prison guard needs to be interviewed. The one that he said he saw the bodies being switched out.”

When pressed by Tom Swarbrick on where he could be, she said: “Israel”.

Lady Hervey is named in the Epstein files 23 times.

She told Tom Swarbrick that if you weren’t named in the Epstein files, then that would be an “insult” and you were “a bit of a loser”.

Police probing claims ‘second Epstein victim was jetted to the UK for sex with then-Prince Andrew’

Police are ‘assessing’ allegations that a second woman was sent to the UK by Jeffrey Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

In a statement, Thames Valley Police said: ‘We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes.

‘We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures.’

‘We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward.

‘At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.’

The unnamed woman says she was taken to Buckingham Palace for tea afterwards.

The woman says she was in her 20s when, at Epstein’s request, she spent a night with Andrew at his Royal Lodge home in 2010.

The claims mark the first time an Epstein accuser has alleged a sexual encounter at a royal residence.

Her US lawyer, Brad Edwards, previously told the Daily Mail: ‘She was severely exploited by Jeffrey Epstein. An extension of that was the exploitation of her by Prince Andrew.

‘She’s a strong person. She wants to believe in justice but it’s very difficult in light of what she knows.

‘We need some cooperation and we need somebody with a conscience and a real desire to make things right.’

Mr Edwards previously sued Andrew on behalf of Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she had sex with the former Duke of York in London, New York and on Epstein’s Caribbean island.

The now ex-prince settled for a reported £12million before the case went to trial but without admitting liability. He has vehemently denied the allegations.

Andrew’s relationship with Epstein has been thrown under the spotlight once more after over three million documents linked to the paedophile financier were published by the US Department of Justice on Friday.

The King’s brother features a number of times in the documents, including images apparently showing him crouch over an unidentified woman in what appears to be Epstein’s New York mansion.

The former prince and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson appear in email exchanges with Epstein, with Andrew appearing to invite him to Buckingham Palace, and Sarah apparently saying: ‘I am at your service. Just marry me.’

Epstein also appears to introduce Andrew to a woman described by the paedophile as ’26, Russian, clevere (sic) beautiful, trustworthy’, while in the same month, Andrew also apparently tells Epstein: ‘Wish I was still a pet in your family.’
