Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein reveal that he acknowledged a controversial photograph featuring Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre was indeed real.
In one email from 2011, Epstein wrote: “Yes she [Giuffre] was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have.”
That admission stands in sharp contrast to Prince Andrew’s earlier public statement, in which he claimed he had “absolutely no memory” of that photograph ever being taken and suggested it may have been doctored.
The disclosure deepens the ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s network and raises fresh questions about the credibility of previous denials by the former royal. It also fuels debate about how much has yet to emerge from the trove of documents released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee.
Key Takeaways:
- Epstein’s 2011 email contradicts Prince Andrew’s long‑held denials.
- The photo has been central to legal and public‑relations battles for years.
- The new documents may lead to further investigation and public pressure.
- While the email doesn’t act as direct legal proof of wrongdoing by the prince, it significantly undermines his credibility.
Conclusion:
The emails underscore how powerful figures connected to Epstein continue to face fallout years later. Prince Andrew, stripped of many royal duties, now confronts new evidence that may reshape public perception — regardless of legal outcomes.
