Recently released photographs, which appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor posing with a girl on his lap, were taken during the former Duke of York’s infamous trip to the US in 2010, where he met with Jeffrey Epstein, it has emerged.

As exclusively revealed by The Mirror, the two low-quality images, which were released by the US Department of Justice, are thought to have been taken at the convicted sex offender’s home on the same trip that Andrew travelled to New York. In his infamous Newsnight interview, the King’s brother claimed the trip across the pond was to end his relationship with Epstein following his conviction for child sex offences.

In one image, the man who resembles Andrew can be seen posing for a photograph with a young woman on his lap – the second known victim of the sex offender – whose face has been redacted. In a second photograph, another woman is seen standing over the man believed to be Andrew. There is no confirmation that the man is the former Duke, and Andrew continues to deny all allegations made against him.
