Newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files have again implicated Britain's ex-Prince Andrew in the Epstein scandal. The documents, disclosed by the US Justice Department, include photographs of Andrew in compromising positions and reveal Epstein's 2010 proposal for Andrew to meet a Russian woman. Andrew has long faced scrutiny for his association with Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex crime charges. Despite repeatedly denying any wrongdoing, Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2019 and was later stripped of his royal titles and honors by King Charles in October following renewed accusations. The surfacing of these new files has reignited public attention on Andrew's connection to the disgraced financier.
