Andrew Windsor Scandal: New Photo Shows Ex-Prince Sprawled on Five Women

A tuxedo-clad man sprawled across the laps of five women while a smiling Ghislaine Maxwell hovers nearby — this is the jarring central image of the latest document dump that has once again cast a shadow over the royal family. The black-and-white photograph, which captures a carefree Andrew Windsor in his younger years, is just one piece of a massive cache of evidence released by the US Department of Justice as the investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein saga reaches a new climax.

The image, set against a backdrop of an ornate wooden fireplace, shows the 65-year-old Andrew seemingly revelling in the attention of five elegantly dressed women whose faces have been redacted by officials. Looking down at the scene with a visible grin is Maxwell, 63, the former socialite and convicted sex trafficker. This previously unseen glimpse into their shared social circle surfaced following a congressional mandate requiring the Justice Department to release all unclassified files related to the Epstein prosecution by Friday, Dec. 19.

New Epstein Files Shed Light on Andrew Windsor's Network

The release of these documents reinforces the long-standing narrative of the deep-seated connections between Andrew and Maxwell. Despite the former prince's years-long efforts to distance himself from the disgraced financier's inner circle, these visual records reveal a distinct tale of closeness and familiarity. This latest photo joins the infamous 2001 snapshot of Andrew with Maxwell and a young Virginia Giuffre — a picture that became a cornerstone of the civil sexual abuse lawsuit brought against him.

Although Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied all allegations of sexual misconduct, the legal pressure eventually led to a massive, undisclosed settlement with Giuffre in 2022. The fallout, however, has only intensified recently. In her posthumous memoir, The Right to be Heard, released this past October, Giuffre provided a scathing account of Andrew's behaviour, alleging that the 'entitled' former royal 'believed having sex with me was his birthright'. These disturbing claims appear to have been the final straw for the British monarch; on Oct. 30, King Charles III took the dramatic step of stripping his brother of all remaining royal titles and honours.

The documents also shed light on the physical settings where these associations took place. The formal attire and 'black-tie' nature of the newly released photo suggest an environment of extreme wealth and exclusivity — the very world that Maxwell navigated to procure young women for Epstein and his powerful associates.

Candid Images Revive Sarah Ferguson's Epstein Connections

Former Prince Andrew is not the only royal featured in this latest evidence release. His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, also appears in several photographs that further complicate her historical ties to the Epstein estate. In one image, the 66-year-old is seen on a shopping trip, posing beside a woman whose identity remains unknown. Another shows the former Duchess of York conversing on a sofa while an unidentified individual takes notes.

Like her former husband, Ferguson was stripped of her title, The Duchess of York, following the internal royal review of her ties to the convicted paedophile. Her involvement has long been a point of contention, particularly regarding a $20,000 loan she accepted from Epstein in 2011 to help settle her debts. At the time, she described the transaction as a 'gigantic error of judgement' and told the Evening Standard, 'I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children'.

However, the Jeffrey Epstein files include a leaked email from Ferguson to Epstein that seems to contradict her public contrition. In the correspondence, she referred to the financier as a 'steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family'. She also reportedly 'humbly apologised' to Epstein for associating him with the abuse of minors during her media interviews. These revelations continue to fuel the public's demand for transparency as the full extent of the Epstein network's influence is laid bare.
