These latest pictures released from the Epstein files are both puzzling and embarrassing.<\/p>\n

They appear to show the then Prince Andrew<\/a><\/strong> on all fours, over a woman who’s lying on the floor.<\/p>\n

We have no idea who she is, or where and when the photos were taken – and Andrew has strongly denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Epstein files – latest updates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

But once again we’re learning how close he was to Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong><\/a>. Exposing emails reveal more about their relationship, and how Andrew continued contact after Epstein was convicted as a sex offender.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but there are also several more emails showing the two men stayed in touch after Andrew claimed he’d cut off all ties.<\/p>\n

Far from their friendship ending, Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson<\/strong><\/a> were being helped financially by Epstein.<\/p>\n

There are emails from 2011 detailing discussions about a payment to a former member of Fergie’s staff, with Epstein describing her finances as an “incredible mess”.<\/p>\n

It is clear though, he was welcomed into the family fold, given rare access to very personal parts of their gilded royal life.<\/p>\n

All of this was going on while Andrew was the Duke of York, and an international trade envoy for the UK – his work funded by the public purse.<\/p>\n

Of course, that’s all changed. He is now disgraced and no longer a working royal<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He was seen in Windsor earlier on Saturday but hasn’t commented on the latest files, and neither has his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing either from the King, who was out showing support for early morning runners in Sandringham<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
