Former Prince Andrew returns to the center of the Epstein scandal after the release of an email confirming a photo with a minor

More emails suggest that Andrew maintained contact with Epstein New emails released in the trial involving Jeffrey Epstein have reignited the controversy surrounding the former Prince Andrew, brother of British King Charles III. The messages suggest that Andrew was photographed with Virginia Giuffre, who accuses him of sexual abuse when he was a minor. See the video above. The image, taken in 2001, shows Andrew hugging Virginia, who at the time was 17 years old, below the illegal age of consent in some American states. She claims to have been a victim of sex trafficking by Epstein and accuses the former prince of abuse. Virginia alleges that she had sex with Andrew three times during her adolescence. Since the case came to light, Andrew has denied the authenticity of the photo, says he never met Virginia and maintains that the photo may have been manipulated. However, newly released emails suggest that Epstein had confirmed the authenticity of the image. Another exchange of messages between Andrew Epstein and Gislaine Maxwell also suggests that the former prince was still in contact with them, months after publicly declaring that he had broken off relations. Gislaine Maxwell was Epstein’s companion and is serving time for sex trafficking. The scandal caused Andrew to lose his title of prince and must leave a mansion in the Windsor complex, England. The crisis began during the reign of Andrew’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and continues to undermine the image of the British royal family. The now former prince is an ordinary citizen, without any title or position of nobility. He is 65 years old, the younger brother of King Charles III.
