Prince Andrew, Mandelson, Epstein Pic Raises Prosecution Stakes?

Former Prince Andrew was already in hot water because of the Epstein Files, actually him and his sidekick, Peter Mandelson. Well, a new photo of the duo with Jeffrey Epstein seems likely to have rewritten previously known history. Could it lead to more prosecutions? Read on for more details.

The ‘Bathrobe’ Photo

Mainstream media released a new photo unveiled by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) a few days ago. Sky News shared it and in their article, they noted:

The image shows Andrew and Mandelson, the UK’s former ambassador to the US, sitting in white bathrobes with the late convicted paedophile.

Why does that matter? After all, just about everyone knows the disgraced member of the royal family got involved with the former convicted trafficker.

It Matters Because Of Past Denials

Actually, if you cast your mind back, for years, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor denied he ever met Virginia Giuffre. In fact, he claimed the photos were photoshopped. Then, between him and Queen Elizabeth, they put out a settlement for the problem to go away. Which it didn’t.

More recently, a photo from the Epstein Files showed him crawling around a woman on all fours. That didn’t look particularly good for a former trade representative, the royals, or any plea of ignorance and innocence.

An Intimate Setting?

Notably, the new bathrobe pic seems way too intimate for someone who always denied close involvement with Epstein. Lord Peter Mandelson, former Prince Andrew, and Epstein looked way too relaxed and very much like besties.

And that image, recovered from a hard drive seized from Jeffrey Epstein rewrites the whole story.

At the moment, both Andrew and Peter Mandelson know exactly how it feels to sit in a cop shop and get grilled by unsmiling officers. In there, nobody cares about your fancy car, peerage or privileged life.

Instead, they want answers on alleged leaked documents that endangered the UK’s security. Right in the center of all that, in the pic, sits Epstein, and it seems it was taken circa late 1990s.

A Deeper Connection Than Expected

With Mandelson in the same picture, it seems that the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein might have been very close to the halls of British power. Remember, Mandelson was the guy who recommended Prince Andrew for his trade representative job. Plus, folks might remember him as an ambassador to the USA.

Reports out of the UK suggest the general public reached a point where, for them, enough is enough. Certainly they don’t want investigations to drag on for years to come.

Protests Increase?

Back in September last year, The New York Times reported that “British protesters projected images of President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle on Tuesday night before the president arrived for a state visit. More protests are planned for Wednesday.”

Well, right now, they might plan for even more. However, taking protests to Sandringham at Marsh Farm seems unlikely given the levels of security that King Charles put in for his brother’s protection.

Still, underlying sentiment might rise and force more calls for more legal action in a hurry.

Already, plenty of other information made Prince Andrew look bad. Not long ago we wrote an article about how Andrew wrote emails in which he used an alias: “The Invisible Man.” So, it is known that he communicated with Epstein.

Fall Guy?

As not much arrived in the way of prosecutions in the USA, some royal family vloggers like Neil Sean wonder if Andrew might take the fall for others. But to the British people, that’s not really relevant right now.

Probably, they hope for more evidence of a connection that could lead to a deeper investigation and maybe even more prosecutions. For now, it’s unknown whether the bathrobe image will do that.
