Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been pictured leaving Royal Lodge following the release of three million documents from the Epstein files.

The former prince appears to have been photographed on all fours over a woman in the files, with the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, calling for Andrew to testify to the US Congress.


The former Duke of York was seen driving his Range Rover out of Royal Lodge, which he is set to vacate in the near future.

Andrew was taking a solo drive as he took a spin past joggers in Windsor.

One of the front headlights appeared to be out on the former prince's car as he left the Grade-II listed mansion.

Last month, Andrew paid a visit to his new home in secret as he had his curtains measured.

Removal vans have been seen emptying out Royal Lodge, and work is in full swing to prepare him for his big move to Marsh Farm.

Developments have been moving quickly around Andrew's new home, which now has extra security and is surrounded by six-foot fences.

A friend said: "It was the first time he's seen his new house and he is resigned to the fact that this is his future.

"He's come to the conclusion that he has to get on with the rest of his life and accepts he has to make the best of it," they told the Sun.

The former Duke of York was ordered to leave Royal Lodge by King Charles after he was stripped of his titles following his connections to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In the latest batch of documents, one file shows an alleged email exchange between Epstein and Andrew in April 2010, in which Epstein tells the former prince he has "a friend who I think you might enjoy having dinner with".

The pair disclosed dates she would be in London, the files appear to show.

He said she is 26, Russian, "beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email".

Andrew allegedly responded: "Of course. I am in Geneva until the morning of 22nd but would be delighted to see her."

He continued: "Will she be bringing a message from you? Please give her my contact details to get in touch."

The email is signed off with: "A - HRH The Duke of York KG."

A separate email appears to show Andrew inviting Epstein to Buckingham Palace in September 2010, with the former Duke of York allegedly emailing him: "I am just departing Scotland, should be down by 18:00. I'll ring you when I get down if you can give me a number to ring.

"Alternatively, we could have dinner at Buckingham Palace and lots of privacy. A."

Epstein appeared to respond: "Already in London, what time would you like me and [redacted]. We will also need/have private time."

Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and just being named in the files does not suggest any misconduct.
