February 1, 2026: The latest release of documents from the U.S. Department of Justice’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has once again thrust Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York—into renewed public scrutiny, reigniting controversy over his long-standing association with Epstein.
Released on January 30, 2026, the extensive document trove includes more than three million pages, along with thousands of images and videos. Among the most widely circulated materials are three undated photographs that appear to show Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling on all fours over an unidentified woman lying on the floor. In at least two of the images, the man believed to be Mountbatten-Windsor is seen placing his hand on the woman’s stomach while either looking down at her or directly at the camera.
Authorities have redacted the woman’s face, reportedly to protect potential victims and privacy. She appears fully clothed in all three images. No contextual information has been provided regarding the time, location, or circumstances under which the photographs were taken, leaving their meaning and implications unclear.

The images have sparked intense media coverage and public reaction, with several outlets describing them as adding “further pressure” on the former royal, whose reputation has been clouded for years by his ties to Epstein.
Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell and has never faced criminal charges related to the case. Through his representatives, he has previously stated that his interactions with Epstein were limited and that he regrets the association.

The newly released files also include email correspondence referencing a figure identified as “The Duke.” One exchange reportedly contains an invitation for Epstein to dine at Buckingham Palace with “lots of privacy,” dated around 2010, shortly after Epstein’s release from house arrest following earlier sex offense convictions. Other communications refer to Epstein offering to introduce contacts to a “beautiful, trustworthy” 26-year-old Russian woman, though no direct link to Mountbatten-Windsor is explicitly established in those exchanges.
The revelations have prompted renewed calls for accountability. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer suggested that Mountbatten-Windsor should consider testifying before the U.S. Congress to clarify his relationship with Epstein. Buckingham Palace has declined to issue a fresh statement, though sources close to the royal family have emphasized his current status as a private citizen.
Mountbatten-Windsor’s fall from grace began several years ago amid growing public backlash over his friendship with Epstein. The controversy intensified following his widely criticized 2019 BBC interview, in which he defended his ties to Epstein and denied awareness of any criminal behavior.
In October 2025, King Charles III formally stripped his brother of all remaining royal titles, military affiliations, and public duties, reclassifying him solely as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The decision followed sustained scrutiny, including a settled civil lawsuit in the United States brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who alleged sexual abuse — claims Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied. Palace officials said the move was necessary to protect the monarchy’s integrity.
The broader Epstein document release, mandated under transparency initiatives, also names or references several high-profile figures, including Elon Musk and Bill Gates, though no allegations have been formally attached to those mentions. Nonetheless, the photographs involving Mountbatten-Windsor have dominated headlines in Britain and abroad, driving renewed public debate.
Critics argue that the images — regardless of context — underscore the inappropriateness of Mountbatten-Windsor’s continued association with Epstein long after serious red flags emerged. Supporters and legal representatives counter that no new evidence of criminal conduct has been produced and that the photographs alone do not establish wrongdoing.
As the public digests the latest disclosures, the episode underscores the enduring shadow cast by Epstein’s crimes and global network of influence. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. For Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the latest revelations extend a saga that has already cost him his royal status, public role, and reputation — with little sign of resolution.
