Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein 'we're in this together' in 2011 email

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 the Duke of York and the royal family because he previously told the BBC he had ceased contact with the convicted child sex offender by that point.

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”.

In 2019, Andrew told the BBC’s Newsnight programme that he broke off his friendship with Epstein in December 2010, after the two men were photographed together strolling in New York.

If there's any justice, Prince Andrew is finished as a public-facing royal.

He's no longer a working royal, but he isn't low profile enough.
