Overview
- ITV published an undated photo from the DOJ’s Epstein files on March 13 showing Jeffrey Epstein with Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor and Peter Mandelson on Martha’s Vineyard, likely from 1999–2000.
- The image is part of a vast January release by the U.S. Department of Justice containing millions of pages plus extensive photos and videos now being reviewed by journalists.
- Both Andrew and Mandelson were recently detained and released in UK probes connected to Epstein; each denies wrongdoing as inquiries continue.
- The associations have already carried consequences, with Andrew stripped of royal titles and Mandelson removed as UK ambassador to Washington last year.
- Context from prior cases includes Virginia Giuffre’s 2021 civil suit accusing Andrew of sexual abuse when she was a minor, and officials note material in the DOJ files does not by itself prove criminal conduct.
