Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor marks his 66th birthday this week, but there will be no sense of celebration surrounding the milestone as the Epstein scandal continues to cast a long shadow over his life, according to a royal commentator.
The former prince marks his birthday on February 19 at a time of renewed global scrutiny over his links to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Last month, the US Department of Justice released more than three million files connected to Epstein and his crimes.
Among them were images that appeared to show Andrew kneeling on all fours over an unidentified woman lying on the ground. The files, however, provided no context for the pictures.
Emails included in the release have also suggested that Andrew allegedly shared confidential information with Epstein during his time as trade envoy in 2010 and 2011.
Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Being named or pictured within the files does not in itself indicate wrongdoing.
