Royal sent email after Virginia Giuffre photo emerged but later claimed he had ceased contact with Epstein in 2010
Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein in an email “we are in this together” after a picture of the British royal with his arm around a teenage Virginia Giuffre was first published in 2011.
The email will pile further pressure on Duke of York and the royal family as he previously told the BBC he had ceased contact with the paedophile financier by that point.
Correspondence between the king’s younger brother and the convicted sex offender, published in the Mail on Sunday and the Sun on Sunday, appears to show that was not the case.
Andrew emailed Epstein on 28 February 2011, the day after the well-known photograph of the duke, Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell was made public. He told Epstein to “keep in close touch” and expressed a wish to “play some more soon”.
