A newly uncovered email has reignited scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The message, reportedly sent the day after the now-infamous 2011 photograph of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre was published, appears to show the prince expressing solidarity with Epstein, writing, “We are in this together.”.
It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it.”
He signed off with, “A, HRH The Duke of York, KG,” referencing his knighthood in the Order of the Garter.
If authentic, the email undermines Andrew’s 2019 BBC Newsnight interview claim that he had severed ties with Epstein months earlier.
Epstein, convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution, was already a notorious figure by that time.
The image, reportedly taken at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London home, has since become one of the most recognizable symbols of the scandal. »
