A photograph of Britain's former prince Andrew and veteran politician Peter Mandelson sitting in bathrobes alongside late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was unearthed Friday, March 13, in previously published documents.

The image is believed to be the first known photograph of the two men with Epstein. They are both currently engulfed in scandal in the UK over their ties to their mutual friend.

The undated photograph, first reported by ITV News, shows King Charles III's disgraced brother and Britain's former ambassador to Washington sitting barefoot outside on a wooden deck. They appear to have mugs with a US flag on them on a wooden table in front of them. Epstein is wearing a dark shirt and light trousers.

ITV said the picture was taken on Martha's Vineyard, an island in the northeastern US state of Massachusetts, and was believed to have been snapped between 1999 and 2000, before Epstein was sentenced to prison. It was included as part of millions of documents released by the US justice department earlier this year.
