Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein ‘we’re in this together’ in 2011 email

Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein in an email “we are in this together” after a picture of the British royal with his arm around a teenage Virginia Giuffre was first published in 2011.

The email will pile further pressure on the Duke of York and the royal family because he previously told the BBC he had ceased contact with the convicted child sex offender by that point.

Correspondence between the king’s younger brother and Epstein, published in the Mail on Sunday and the Sun on Sunday, appears to show that was not the case.
