Another day, another trouble mounts for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as he grapples with the fallout from his scandalous ties to Jeffrey Epstein. With new photos from Epstein's estate released by House Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee, the former Prince is reportedly 'stressed' about his potential appearance in the images. According to royal expert Ian Pelham Turner, Mountbatten-Windsor has to undergo an 'excruciating' wait, aware that Epstein allegedly photographed himself with his high-profile clients to blackmail them later.

As reported by the Associated Press, the newly released photos include Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Mountbatten-Windsor, along with other high-profile celebrities. The images were among 95,000 others that the House Oversight Committee had received after issuing a subpoena for the same. Weighing in, Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital, "It's a drip-feeding of imagery, leaving many wondering what's coming next, while Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, try to show resolve and rebuild their lives…Each revelation could be another nail in the coffin for the royal dynasty." He added, "Andrew is enduring an excruciating waiting game, unsure what revelations may emerge and fearful he'll be fed to the lions."

While none of the images show Epstein's alleged clients engaged in illegal activity, they cast those pictured in a negative light, given the disgraced financier's alleged sex crimes. As for Mountbatten-Windsor, he has appeared once so far, seen conversing with Microsoft Founder Bill Gates alongside King Charles. The image was a cropped section of a picture originally taken by a Getty Images photographer in 2018, which showed the King and the former Prince speaking with Gates at a London summit. The exact number of photos featuring Mountbatten-Windsor has not been publicly quantified by major news outlets.

As tensions mount, British broadcaster Helena Chard claimed that the family is bracing for "an avalanche of new findings, further linking Andrew to Epstein." She added, "Andrew is said to be stressed… Close family members are monitoring Andrew's mental health… Allegedly, Epstein made it his mission to document material on all high-profile contacts, hoping to launch smear campaigns." Meanwhile, Pelham Turner shared that the anticipation of possible upcoming photos of his disgraced brother with Epstein is a 'continuing nightmare' for the King.

Interestingly, the House Oversight Committee clarified to PEOPLE that Mountbatten-Windsor's photo with Gates "arrived that way from the estate." Epstein himself was notably absent from the image. However, according to the outlet, some evidence did include a screenshot of a March 2011 email sent by Epstein to an individual listed as 'The Duke,' widely believed to be the disgraced royal. Representatives for Buckingham Palace, Mountbatten-Windsor, Clinton, and Gates did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
