Jeffrey Epstein Insisted Andrew Took Infamous Photo With Virginia Giuffre Despite Royal's Claims It's Fake

"(Florida Southern District Court/U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals) (Press Association via AP Images) Jeffrey Epstein privately acknowledged that British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor did have his photo taken with Virginia Giuffre, according to newly released emails that appear to shed fresh light on the infamous picture the former prince has long insisted may have been faked. The correspondence, disclosed in a vast tranche of documents released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, includes a 2011 email in which Epstein downplays Giuffre's credibility while conceding a photograph was taken of her and Andrew."

"Speaking to a journalist at the time, Epstein wrote at the time: The girl has fled the country with an outstanding arrest warrant. The da (sic) after she accused others, said in writing that she has no credibility, she was never 15 years old working for me, her story made it seem like she first worked for trump at that age and was met by ghislaine maxwell. He continued: Total horsesh*t, the daily mail paid her money, they admitted it, with the statement that it took money to coax out the truth. Yes she was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have, he added."

"Another exchange appears to show Epstein forwarding a media inquiry to someone listed as The Duke, believed to be Andrew. Epstein quips: Im not sure how to respond, the only person she didn't have sex with was Elvis."

Newly released emails reveal Jeffrey Epstein privately acknowledged that Prince Andrew had his photograph taken with Virginia Giuffre. The emails were part of a large document release tied to Republicans on the House Oversight Committee and include a 2011 message in which Epstein sought to undermine Giuffre's credibility. Epstein asserted that Giuffre had been paid by a newspaper and conceded she had been on his plane and photographed with Andrew. Prince Andrew has repeatedly said he has no memory of meeting Giuffre and has questioned the image's authenticity. Giuffre alleged trafficking and sexual encounters and died earlier this year by suicide.
