Disturbing new photos released as part of the latest batch of Epstein files appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crouched on all fours over a woman.
The three pictures show a man believed to be the disgraced former duke looming over the woman, who is lying sprawled on the floor.
He stares directly into the camera in another and places his hand on her abdomen in the third.
The photos show him wearing a white polo shirt and jeans. Someone else can be seen sitting with their feet up in a leopard-print chair behind them.
The pictures have no captions, and it is unknown when or where they were taken, nor who took them.

The documents were released as part of the US Department of Justice’s ‘Epstein files’.
Elsewhere in the document dump, screenshots and scans appear to show the former prince exchanged emails with Jeffrey Epstein about a ‘beautiful’ Russian woman and invited him to Buckingham Palace.
Andrew previously claimed to have cut contact with Epstein after an investigation was launched in 2006, only getting back in touch to end their relationship in person in late 2010.
But in an August 2010 exchange, two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution, for which he served 13 months in a jail work-release program, the financier writes: ‘I have a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with.’
In response, ‘The Duke’ replies: “Of course. I am in Geneva until the morning of 22nd but would be delighted to see her. Will she be bringing a message from you? Please give her my contact details to get in touch.”
‘A.’
In response to a redacted email, ‘The Duke’ says: ‘Great. Any other information you might know about her that might be useful to know? Like what have you told her about me and have you given her my email as well?’
Epstein then writes: ‘She 26, russian, clevere beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email.’
The email account labelled ‘The Duke’ replies: ‘That was quick! How are you? Good to be free?’
Epstein says: ‘(redacted).. great to be free of many things.’
The paedophile financier was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan, New York, in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
His death was ruled a suicide.
Andrew has faced allegations, which he strenuously denies, that he sexually assaulted a teenage Virginia Giuffre after she was trafficked by Epstein.
He paid millions to Ms Giuffre, a woman he has claimed never to have met, to settle a civil sexual assault claim in 2022.
Andrew stepped down from royal duties in 2019 after an interview on BBC Newsnight, but the publication of Ms Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, and the US government’s release of documents from Epstein’s estate, brought more scrutiny over his relationship with the financier.
It led to the King officially stripping his disgraced brother of both his HRH style and his prince title last year.
