"Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein in an email we are in this together after a picture of the British royal with his arm around a teenage Virginia Giuffre was first published in 2011. The email will pile further pressure on Duke of York and the royal family as he previously told the BBC he had ceased contact with the paedophile financier by that point."
"Andrew emailed Epstein on 28 February 2011, the day after the well-known photograph of the duke, Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell was made public. He told Epstein to keep in close touch and expressed a wish to play some more soon. In 2019, Andrew told the BBC's Newsnight programme that he broke off his friendship with Epstein in December 2010, after the two men were photographed together strolling in New York."
An email from Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein dated 28 February 2011 includes the line 'we are in this together' and was sent the day after a widely published photograph showing the duke with Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell. The message urges Epstein to keep in close touch and expresses a wish to 'play some more soon,' and is said to be signed 'A, HRH The Duke of York, KG.' The email appears to contradict a 2019 statement that contact ceased in December 2010. Epstein died in August 2019 while awaiting trial; his 2008 convictions included solicitation involving a minor. Portions of the email also surfaced in court documents linked to an FCA case involving Jes Staley.
