The ice is getting thinner for Prince Andrew. Now photos have come to light again that do not put the British royal in a good light.
New York – Slowly but surely, the noose around Prince Andrew’s (61) neck is tightening. After the abuse scandal in which he is said to be involved, there are new negative headlines almost every day, as reported by 24royal.de *. The American Virginia Guiffre (38) accuses the son of Queen Elizabeth II (95) of having repeatedly abused her as a minor 20 years ago. For this reason, the 38-year-old reported him in court in New York.
Prince Andrew: New photos appeared – is it really tight for him now?
However, while he vehemently denies knowing her * or even having had a relationship with her, an image that has been floating around in the media for a long time seems to speak a different language. Prince Andrew can be seen with the young woman*, hugging each other and smiling at the camera. The photographer is said to be none other than the late media mogul Jeffrey Epstein (66, † 2019). The woman standing next to the couple in the picture is his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell (60).
Epstein was finally charged in 2019 with running a ring for the sexual exploitation of minors. The British prince is said to have been one of his closest friends and customers. But during the preparations for the trial, Epstein is said to have hanged himself in his cell.
Prince Andrew: Irritating party pictures are not well received
Since the abuse scandal became public, the Duke of York has repeatedly tried to defend himself against the allegations. Without success. He has fallen out of favor with the British people and his own family, even being considered the most unpopular royal*. But Andrew has now announced through his lawyers that he would like to face a jury trial in New York*.
Now, however, he has to take another severe blow*: New images have appeared that could play badly in his hands during the process.
On it you can see Prince Andrew* with a pretty blonde, how they let it rip at a party*. The photos are said to have been taken at a celebration of a Libyan millionaire in Saint Tropez in 2007. According to the English daily newspaper “Evening Standard”, the young woman is the American It-Girl Chris Von Aspen, who was 27 at the time.
Prince Andrew: Will the new pictures be his undoing?
The prince and Von Aspen are said to have spent a boozy and wild night, and he is said to have “fallen for” his dance partner. That evening he followed her everywhere, it is said, both rocked together on the dance floor until the wee hours.
In one picture you can even see how the young woman pretends to want to lick the then 45-year-old, in another she pretends to bite his neck. The Queen’s son doesn’t seem to mind, on the contrary. He looks absolutely delighted and poses for the camera with a big grin.
But now Prince Andrew will certainly no longer feel like laughing at these recordings in his current spicy situation *. After all, they could be further evidence for the prosecution of the British royal’s self-indulgence. *24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA .
