First known picture of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Lord Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein released

The first known image appearing to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Peter Mandelson, and Jeffrey Epstein together has been unearthed.

The undated photograph has come to light as part of the Department of Justice's Epstein-related document dump earlier this year.

In the image, first uncovered by ITV News, Andrew, King Charles III's disgraced brother, and Lord Mandelson, the former British Ambassador to the United States, appear to be sitting outside at a wooden table and have mugs with a US flag on them in front of them.

Mountbatten-Windsor and Mandelson are both wearing bathrobes in the photograph.

As per the BBC, it's the first known image of the three men together, and while no time or date has been given for the photograph, ITV News reports it was taken during a meeting in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.

The image allegedly bears a resemblance to one previously discovered of Lord Mandelson, which could be seen in Epstein’s 'birthday book'.

The reported birthday book image of Lord Mandelson, which also shows him in a bathrobe, is accompanied by a message in which he describes the disgraced financier as his 'best pal'.

Andrew, who was stripped of his Duke of York and Prince title last year, and Mandelson have both separately been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and have since been released under investigation.

Both men also feature a number of times in the Epstein files.

Images of Mandelson receiving a foot massage and others of him standing in his underwear have also been published by the US Department of Justice.

Meanwhile, pictures of Mountbatten-Windsor also appeared in the DOJ's latest tranche of documents, which were released in January.

The images appear to show the royal kneeling on all fours over a woman, whose face has been redacted, lying on the ground.

It's important to note that being pictured in the files doesn't automatically indicate wrongdoing and both Andrew and Lord Mandelson have denied any wrongdoing over their association with Epstein.

The picture has only just been reported on due to the sheer quantity of documents that were released on 30 January.
