Andrew did have photo taken with Virginia Giuffre, Epstein said

Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein include one in which the late paedophile financier describes how Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor did have his photo taken with victim Virginia Giuffre.

The former duke, who was recently stripped of his titles, has previously said he didn't recall meeting Ms Giuffre and claimed an image of the pair could have been doctored.

"Total horseshit, the daily mail paid her money, they admitted it, with the statement that it took money to coax out the truth.

"Yes she was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew, as many of my employees have. "I have never misled you, this girl is a total liar, they (sic) authorities should check her australian immigration form...
