Newly released photos are showing former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in a compromising position.

In new files released by the U.S. Department of Justice in relation to the investigation of convicted sex offender and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the former Prince Andrew is seen kneeling on all fours over an unidentified woman on the ground.

In the latest photos, released Jan. 30 and shared online, King Charles III's brother is bending over and touching the waist of a fully clothed woman's stomach while she is on the floor. In a second photograph, Andrew is on his hands and knees, crouching over the woman, whose face has been redacted.

The DOJ did not provide additional information on the photos, including when and where they were taken. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, while announcing the release of the files at a press conference at the department in Washington, D.C., Jan. 30, acknowledged the release would include redactions.

Britain's former Prince Andrew kneels over a female in images released by the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 30, 2026 as part of a new trove of documents from its investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Emails among the 3 million pages of newly released materials showed Andrew allegedly maintained regular contact with disgraced financier Epstein for more than two years after he was found guilty of sex crimes.

Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting a federal sex-trafficking trial, rubbed shoulders with some of the world's richest and most powerful people, including former President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump. Both men have denied any wrongdoing, and neither has been charged.

After the photos were released, United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles in October, to comply with U.S. lawmakers if they request he testify about his relationship to Epstein.

"Anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information in whatever form they are asked to do that," Starmer told reporters on Jan. 31 while answering questions about Andrew, adding "you can't be victim-centered if you're not prepared to do that."

Starmer said whether the former royal should apologize is "a matter for Andrew," according to multiple media outlets.

Andrew stripped of royal title in October

Andrew, who was stripped of his royal title in October and pushed out of his home at Royal Lodge after reports of his association with Epstein, has appeared in multiple pages and images within the files the U.S. government has released about Epstein since last fall. He was ousted as a senior royal three years prior.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a prominent Epstein accuser, alleged she was sexually abused by the former royal multiple times as a 17-year-old.

In 2022, Andrew made an undisclosed payment to settle a lawsuit brought in the United States by Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, months before the publication of her memoir in October. Andrew, 65, has always denied Giuffre's account.

In November 2025, several U.S. lawmakers intensified their calls for Andrew to appear before a congressional committee investigation into Epstein. The disgraced financier died by suicide while in custody awaiting trial in 2019.
