Several sources suggest that this photograph was taken in the saloon room at Sandringham, a royal estate owned by the King and Queen in Norfolk.

Sandringham gained notoriety following Prince Andrew’s 2019 interview with BBC Newsnight, where he described it as the site of a “straightforward shooting weekend.”

Buckingham Palace has opted not to comment on the image in question.

Prince Andrew has consistently maintained his innocence.

This year, he was stripped of his official titles due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein.

There is also an image of Maxwell standing outside 10 Downing Street in London.

Some of the most consequential records expected about Epstein are nowhere to be found in the DOJ’s initial disclosures, which span tens of thousands of pages.

The records, required to be released under a recent law passed by Congress, hardly reference several powerful figures long associated with Epstein, including Andrew, renewing questions about who was scrutinised, who was not, and how much the disclosures truly advance public accountability.

Federal prosecutors in New York brought sex trafficking charges against Epstein in 2019, but he killed himself in jail after his arrest.

Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking.

One of Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Giuffre, accused Epstein of arranging for her to have sexual encounters with men, including the prince.

Marina Lacerda, one of the women who says she survived sexual assault by Epstein, beginning when she was 14, said she wanted to see greater transparency from the DOJ and expressed frustration over redactions and the incomplete release.

“Just put out the files,” she said. “And stop redacting names that don’t need to be redacted.”

Multiple photographs show former President Bill Clinton

Many of the most discussed photos from the files show former Democratic president Bill Clinton.

Clinton has acknowledged that he travelled on Epstein’s private jet but said through a spokesperson he had no knowledge of the late financier’s crimes.

Some of the photos show Clinton on a private plane, including one with a woman seated next to him with her arm around him.

Her face is redacted from the photo.

Another photo shows him in a pool with British socialite Maxwell, who has been convicted of luring young girls to Epstein so he could molest them, and with another person whose face is redacted.

One shows Clinton with the late pop star Michael Jackson, singer Diana Ross and a woman whose face is redacted.

And another shows Clinton in a hot tub with a woman whose face is redacted.

The DOJ did not explain how those photos were related to the criminal investigation.

Nevertheless, senior White House aides quickly called attention to them on X.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, wrote “Oh my!” and added a shocked face emoji in response to the photo of Clinton in the hot tub.

Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in an X post that “this isn’t about Bill Clinton” and accused the White House of trying to protect others.

“There are two types of people here,” he wrote. “The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after. We’re in the first.”

Clinton has never been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, and the mere inclusion of someone’s name or images in files from the investigation does not imply otherwise.
