Mar 13th 2026
A newly unearthed photograph from the US Department of Justice Epstein files shows Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson sitting with Jeffrey Epstein, with no date or location provided and both men now under investigation.
- The newly released Epstein files include the first known photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson with Jeffrey Epstein.
- The image shows the three men in bathrobes with US flag mugs and is believed to have been taken on Martha’s Vineyard, though no date or location are confirmed.
- A similar photo of Mandelson appears in Epstein’s 2003 50th birthday book where Mandelson called Epstein "my best pal".
- Both men appear multiple times across the Epstein files in other images that have circulated publicly.
- There is no suggestion that appearing in the documents implies wrongdoing.
- Both Mountbatten-Windsor and Mandelson were arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office and have been released under investigation.
- Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of titles and asked to vacate a royal residence, while Mandelson was sacked as ambassador to Washington and resigned from the House of Lords.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer apologised for appointing Mandelson after 147 pages of Mandelson-related documents were released by the UK government.
