A picture of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying across row of women with Ghislaine Maxwell has been released as part of the Epstein files.
Documents relating to disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were published on the the U.S Department of Justice’s website on Friday.
In one of the images, of which there are thousands, the former Prince – donning a black suit and bow tie – can be seen sprawled across the laps of five women, whose faces have been hidden.
Convicted sex trafficker Ms Maxwell is also stood above him, next to another woman whose face is also hidden.
It is not currently clear when or where the picture was taken – as no context has been provided with many of the images released.
Other pictures released on Friday also show Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson posing for a photograph with someone on the street and talking to a woman while sat on a sofa.
In both images she appears to be wearing the same outfit, although it is unclear if the photographs were taken on the same day.
Former president Bill Clinton also appeared numerous times in files, with one image showing him relaxing in a hot tub and swimming with Maxwell in a swimming pool in another.
Michael Jackson was seen in another image smiling alongside Epstein, as well as with actor Kevin Spacey.

The trove of documents, including court records, footage and images, was uploaded on Friday night to the US Department of Justice website, which held users in a queue as it experienced an ‘extremely high volume of search requests’.
The data dump came after US deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said ‘several hundred thousand’ documents from the so-called ‘Epstein files’ would be released ahead of a legal deadline but the need to protect the sex offender’s victims meant thousands more would be released over the coming weeks.
The US Department of Justice are legally obligated to make all files related to the investigation into Epstein public by midnight on Friday following the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
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.
US President Donald Trump signed the legislation last month to ensure the release of the files, despite previously resisting disclosure and claiming the issue was a ‘Democrat hoax’.
Speaking ahead of the release, Mr Blanche told Fox News: ‘I expect that we’re going to release several hundred thousand documents today.
‘And those documents will come in in all different forms, photographs and other materials associated with, with all of the investigations into Mr Epstein.’

Explaining why there may be a delay in releasing all the files, Mr Blanche told the broadcaster: ‘What we’re doing is we are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their story, to the extent it needs to be protected, is completely protected.
‘And so I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks.
‘So today, several hundred thousand and then over the next couple (of) weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more.’
