The latest batch of new Epstein documents revealed images of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie apparently sent to the infamous pedophile by their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The daughters of the disgraced former Prince were captured in personal family photographs shared with the convicted child sex trafficker when they were in their early twenties. Eugenie was aged 21-22, while her sister Beatrice was 23-24 when the pictures were exchanged in festive emails between 2011 and 2012, following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Surprisingly, these photos were sent up to two years after Andrew publicly stated in a widely-watched BBC interview that he had severed ties with Epstein.
The initial photo depicted the siblings posing in the snow, with Eugenie wrapped in fur and a brown scarf, and Beatrice wearing earmuffs and a silver Christmas hat. This picture was sent as part of a greeting card on December 21, 2011, via an email from Andrew’s “HRH The Duke of York” account. Subsequent images were included in another card sent in 2012, featuring Beatrice and Eugenie alongside Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
In the photos, Beatrice is seen climbing Mont Blanc in the Alps, while Eugenie is shown participating in a charity bike ride in London. These events coincided with the year the card was dispatched, with Andrew depicted abseiling the Shard and Ms. Ferguson pictured during her visit to the frozen Great Slave Lake in Canada.
The card included a Christmas message seemingly signed by Andrew, conveying warm wishes for joy and happiness during the holiday season and the upcoming year.
It is important to note that being part of Epstein’s files does not imply any wrongdoing, and Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently refuted any allegations. Beatrice and Eugenie have distanced themselves from their parents as they navigate through the ongoing scandal.
The siblings were also mentioned in an email inviting Epstein to Andrew’s 50th birthday celebration a couple of years prior to the photo exchanges. The email, dated 2010, revealed that the Duchess of York, Ms. Ferguson, extended the invitation to Epstein for the event at St James’s Palace in February that year.
Epstein declined the invitation with a brief response stating, “Not able,” after Andrew’s representatives inquired about his attendance.
