Another photograph shows Mountbatten-Windsor’s hand placed on the same person’s abdomen.
In the background, another unidentified person props their feet up on a table, which has a stack of towels on it.
Mountbatten-Windsor replies he would be “delighted to see her” and tells Epstein to give her his contact details.
Epstein then describes her as a 26-year-old Russian that is “clevere (sic) beautiful, trustworthy,” and confirms that she has Mountbatten-Windsor’s email.
The messages are sent two years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with a minor.
More than a month later, in another set of emails, Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor make plans to meet in London.
Mountbatten-Windsor suggests dinner at Buckingham Palace, where they would have “lots of privacy”.
Epstein writes that the pair will “need/have private time”.
It is unclear when or where the images were taken; no captions or context for the photographs were provided with the document release.
Neither the photographs nor the email messages suggest any wrongdoing.
CNN has attempted to contact Mountbatten-Windsor for comment.
Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied all accusations against him and insisted that he never witnessed or suspected any of the behaviour of which Epstein was accused.
In a now-infamous BBC interview in 2019, he said that he severed all ties with Epstein in 2010.
The new photographs and email exchanges are likely to cast additional scrutiny on Mountbatten-Windsor over Epstein links, which eventually led King Charles to strip his brother of his “prince” title and evict him from his Windsor mansion in an extraordinary move last year.
Buckingham Palace did not offer a fresh statement when approached by CNN.
Last month, the DOJ released another cache of Epstein files, which underlined Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with not only Epstein but Epstein’s then-girlfriend, disgraced former British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
In one email, a person identified as only “A” wrote from the British royal family’s Scottish residence in 2001, asking whether Maxwell had “found me some new inappropriate friends.”
A separate set of emails appears to show Maxwell helping plan a trip to Peru for “A” that involves “girls.”
