Former Prince Andrew appears in a controversial photograph in recent documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which were released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was caught in a photograph that shows him lying on the legs of five people, in the context of the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The image, which also includes a photograph of Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking, is part of a large volume of documents published by the U.S. Department of Justice, following a law that mandates transparency in the Epstein case.

These documents include hundreds of thousands of records, video recordings, and photographs, but many are censored, which has sparked criticism. Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, allegations he denies, and he paid millions of dollars to settle a civil lawsuit. The release of these documents and images has brought attention back to his relationships with Epstein and Maxwell, generating reactions from American politicians and victims.
