US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

An image that appears to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has emerged.

It is the first known image of the three men together, and has been released as part of the Epstein files by the US Department of Justice.

In the photo, which ITV News said was taken in Martha’s Vineyard, the former prince, Andrew, and former UK ambassador to the US Lord Mandelson can be seen wearing white bathrobes, while convicted sex offender Epstein is in a dark shirt and white trousers.

The trio are sat around a wooden deck table, with mugs decorated with the US flag lined up in front of them.

No time or location is given for the photograph.

There is no suggestion that appearing in the documents implies any wrongdoing.

Both men have been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over their connections to the paedophile and have both since been released under investigation.

Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

Lord Mandelson has repeatedly let it be known that he believes he has not acted criminally. He has long argued that he accepted Epstein and his lawyer’s version of events and only discovered the truth after his death in 2019.
