DoJ Releases Photos of Former Prince Andrew, Peter Mandelson in Bathrobes With Jeffrey Epstein
Key Takeaways
- U.S. Department of Justice released the photograph among previously published Epstein case documents.
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson appear in bathrobes seated beside Jeffrey Epstein.
- Image is believed taken circa 1999–2000 at Epstein's Martha's Vineyard villa.
Photo appears in DOJ files
The U.S. Department of Justice’s extensive release of Epstein-related files contains, for the first time, a photograph showing former Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor), Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein together.
“Based on facts observed and directly verified by our journalists or by informed sources”
Multiple outlets report this is the first known image of the three men appearing in the DOJ documents, a revelation first published by ITV and circulated widely in international media.

The published documents are part of the millions of items made public by the Department of Justice earlier this year.
Photo details and dating
The image depicts the men in bathrobes, seated outdoors around a wooden table with mugs bearing the American flag, and is widely reported to have been taken at Jeffrey Epstein’s property on Martha’s Vineyard.
News organisations including ITV and Newsweek place the likely date around 1999–2000, before Epstein’s later convictions, although the photo itself is undated in the released files.

Arrests and fallout
The release has intensified legal and political fallout in Britain: both Andrew and Mandelson were arrested in February on suspicion of passing sensitive information to Epstein, and the disclosures have previously prompted resignations and dismissals.
“London, England — A photograph showing Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III of the United Kingdom, and former Labour minister Peter Mandelson, both in bathrobes alongside the American pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was made public Friday by British broadcaster ITV News”
British authorities and political institutions have already taken action—Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and given notice to leave his Windsor residence, while Mandelson was recalled from his ambassadorial post and later resigned from the House of Lords—actions widely reported alongside the image’s publication.
Additional files and evidence
The wider document trove contains multiple other images and materials tying both men repeatedly to Epstein: files include photos of Andrew in intimate poses with women and of Mandelson in compromising states, plus earlier material in Epstein’s private books and emails suggesting a close relationship.
Journalists have also highlighted emails and briefings that appear to show sensitive government material being shared with Epstein, while some reporting points to financial transactions from Epstein to Mandelson.

Denials and inquiries
Both men and their representatives have publicly denied criminal wrongdoing even as investigations continue, and media coverage notes the broader international fallout from the DOJ release, which has prompted arrests, resignations and renewed scrutiny of public figures tied to Epstein.
“United States — For the first time, a photo shows Epstein, former Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson together A photograph, one of the millions of documents released on January 30 by the U”
Reporting emphasises that appearing in the released files does not by itself prove criminality, while police inquiries and parliamentary scrutiny are ongoing.
