Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ex-girlfriend makes bizarre claim over Epstein photo

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ex-girlfriend has made a bizarre claim about what he was doing whilst leaning over a woman on the floor in a photo in the Epstein files.

The images were released by the US Department of Justice, along with three million other pages of documents relating to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which were made available to the public.

Some photos show the former Duke of York and Prince wearing a white polo shirt and jeans as he leans over a woman, whose face has been redacted, on the floor, and touches her stomach.

Andrew has appeared in the documents relating to the criminal financier multiple times; however, this doesn't suggest any wrongdoing.

And now his former partner has come forward with her own explanation of what could be going on in this specific photograph.

Speaking of the image, Lady Victoria Hervey, who dated the disgraced royal briefly back in 1999, after his divorce from Sarah Ferguson, suggested that he was in the middle of a 'CPR training course'.

She discussed her strange theory on Dan Wootton's Outspoken podcast and was questioned by the host.

"Even after the publication of pages of the Epstein files, you are still saying that you don't believe Virginia Giuffre and Andrew even had consensual sex. You still believe that photo is a fake?" Wootton asked.

Hervey affirmed: "Absolutely," which prompted Wootton to bring up the photo in question ask: "What's going on here then?"

In response, she brought up Wootton's own experiences after he was accused of tricking a colleague into sending intimate images.

The Met Police investigated the claims, but no arrests were made and the force said it would not be taking any further action.

"You were falsely accused and you jump the gun on this, you just went there for clicks," Hervey argued.

She added: "I messaged Leah, who's Ghislaine [Maxwell]'s lawyer. It was an EMT course. Ghislaine is a trained emergency medical technician."

Wootton then asked whether Hervey believes Andrew is giving CPR in the photo, to which she said: "Yeah, it's part of the course.

"The girl was an assistant of Jeffrey's and she was overage as well."

The odd comments come after Hervey outlandishly suggested anyone who wasn't named in the Epstein files was a 'loser'.

Previously speaking on LBC, she said: "He [Epstein] knew everybody who was very powerful. So, like if you were on the scene and you were powerful, like to be honest... Like, if you're not in those files, it would be an insult because it just means that you were a bit of a loser."

The host, journalist Tom Swarbrick, said: "Right, so the people who aren't in the files are losers?" to which Victoria laughed and replied: "Yes!"
