A widely circulated photograph, taken in March 2001, shows a smiling Prince Andrew with his arm around Virginia Roberts—then 17 years old—while Ghislaine Maxwell looks on, reportedly at Maxwell’s London home. The image has become one of the most enduring pieces of visual evidence connected to Roberts’ allegations that she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and abused by the Duke. It has been cited repeatedly in media coverage and legal proceedings, including the civil lawsuit Roberts filed against Andrew, which was settled in 2022. The photograph’s significance lies in the fact that it appears to capture all three key figures together in a casual, domestic setting—an unspoken counter to denials of familiarity.
In the years since, Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their apologists have treated the photo less like an inconvenient truth and more like a PR problem to be spun out of existence. Andrew’s legal team has floated unsubstantiated claims of “fake” proportions and “mystery” alterations without ever producing credible forensic evidence. Maxwell, speaking from prison, has parroted the same line, conveniently claiming she has “only ever seen photocopies,” as if that alone discredits the image. Their supporters—whether in royal circles or among Epstein’s old network—have amplified these talking points in a transparent attempt to gaslight the public into questioning their own eyes. It’s a tactic ripped straight from the crisis-management playbook: attack the evidence, cast doubt, and hope the scandal rots in ambiguity. But without proof, these denials look less like reasoned skepticism and more like the desperate flailing of people cornered by a single, stubborn photograph that refuses to go away.
