AI Summary

medium article 2 min

A newly released email, purportedly from Ghislaine Maxwell to Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, appears to corroborate the authenticity of a photograph showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with Virginia Giuffre. The email references a photo taken in London in 2001, where Giuffre allegedly met Prince Andrew. Giuffre, who accused Mountbatten-Windsor of sexual assault when she was a minor, claimed the photo was taken around the time of the alleged abuse, allegations Mountbatten-Windsor denies. He previously questioned the photo's authenticity and settled a civil suit with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability. Giuffre's family believes the email vindicates her claims. The Metropolitan Police previously declined to launch a full criminal investigation into the allegations.
