Overview
- A black‑and‑white photo released in the U.S. Justice Department’s Epstein estate records shows Andrew with Ghislaine Maxwell in a room British media identify as Sandringham’s living room.
- Reporters matched the fireplace, clock, vases and humanoid candelabra in the image to known features of the royal residence to support the identification.
- Other DOJ photos depict Andrew with Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell at Balmoral on a hunt and at the Ascot races in 2000.
- The Mail on Sunday claims the Sandringham photo dates to a December 2000 party for Maxwell’s 39th birthday, a detail not independently verified but potentially at odds with Andrew’s BBC interview account.
- Metropolitan Police said firearms-licensing officers visited a Windsor address on November 19 and a man in his 60s voluntarily surrendered a firearms and shotgun certificate, a development reported in connection with Andrew without further official detail.
