First picture emerges of Andrew, Epstein and Mandelson together

First picture emerges of Andrew, Epstein and Mandelson together

A previously unseen photograph has surfaced, capturing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Peter Mandelson, and paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in a shared moment.

The image depicts the former prince, accompanied by Mandelson, the former UK ambassador to the United States, both clad in bathrobes. Epstein is seen seated with them at a table, and this is thought to be the first documented instance of all three individuals being together in a single frame.

The photograph’s timeframe remains unspecified, though ITV News suggests it was captured in Martha’s Vineyard. It bears resemblance to other images in Epstein’s ‘birthday book,’ which also featured Mandelson in a bathrobe alongside the financier.

Government files reveal Epstein ties

The US Department of Justice has disclosed three million pages of documents as part of the Epstein investigation, encompassing 180,000 visual records. Similarly, the UK government has made tens of thousands of files available, detailing Mandelson’s connections to Epstein.

In a section labeled ‘Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein,’ the report stated: ‘… Epstein seemed to ‘maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and Lord Peter Mandelson, a high-ranking British government official.’

Mandelson was awarded £75,000 as a severance payment when Sir Keir Starmer replaced him, though he sought a significantly higher amount. He had previously contested his full work contract as US Ambassador, which would have exceeded £500,000, before being dismissed.

Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones informed parliament that the due diligence report on Lord Mandelson ‘did not uncover the full scope’ of his association with Epstein. One note warned: ‘If anything goes wrong, you could be more exposed as the individual is connected to you personally.’

Jonathan Powell, the former NSA, observed that Mandelson’s appointment process was ‘strangely expedited’ and ‘unusual.’
