New blow to the British royal family. The Daily Mail, which was the first to publish the famous photograph, considers that these new revelations are a new blow to the royal family and could force Prince Andrew to testify in a US court, as requested by Democratic lawmakers in that country. The publication emphasizes that the strategy of the British royal household has been to gradually move Andrew out of the public eye, hoping that his alleged crimes would be forgotten, but at this moment, this may no longer be sufficient. On October 30, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his prince title (he can no longer sign as 'His Royal Highness') and asked him to leave the mansion he occupies within the crown estate. From now on, he will have to sign as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and will move before the end of the year to a property provided by his brother, the King. The new emails from the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that have been emerging in recent hours confirm that the famous photograph in which the former Prince Andrew is seen holding the then minor Virginia Giuffre by the waist is real, contrary to what Andrew has repeatedly argued. British media are echoing these messages today, particularly those the American millionaire exchanged with a journalist in 2011, in which he wrote: 'Yes, she was on my plane, and yes, she has that photograph taken with Andrew, as many of my employees do.' An image taken in Manhattan. In her posthumous autobiography, Giuffre—who includes the image in the book—recalls that it was she who asked someone to take that photograph with the disposable camera she was carrying to have a memento of her prestigious friendships. In it, she is being held by the waist by Andrew as both look at the camera, with British aristocrat Ghislaine Maxwell in the background, in whose apartment in Manhattan the photo was taken. In a 2019 interview, Andrew stated that he had no recollection of that photograph and suggested it might have been forged, a claim his entourage repeated in the years that followed. In another of the emails, this one apparently written by Andrew, he seems to respond to Giuffre's accusations and writes to Epstein: 'Please ensure that every statement or legal document makes it clear that I am NOT involved and that I knew NOTHING about these accusations.'
