Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion – dubbed the ‘House of Horrors’ – was filled with photos of the pedophile with Prince Andrew.

Bombshell court documents released last week reveal the disgraced billionaire flaunted his relationship with the Duke of York by displaying “lots of photos” of Andrew at his $18 million mansion.

Dozens of young women, some as young as 13, allege they were sexually abused and raped by Epstein at his 14,000-square-foot home at 358 El Brillo Way in Palm Beach — the hub of his global sex trafficking web.

In a previously sealed deposition, released as part of a massive document dump, Alfredo Rodriguez, who worked as Epstein’s “house manager” between August 2004 and March 2005, said he realized his boss was close to Andrew “because there were photos on which he stood together’. … many pictures’.

He suggested some of the photos may have been taken during Epstein’s visits to Britain, where he attended private royal events, including a 2000 “Dance of the Decade” party to celebrate Andrew’s 40th birthday.

Epstein and socialite Ghislaine Maxwell – who is serving 20 years in a Florida prison for child sex trafficking crimes – were also guests of the Duke of York at the Balmoral estate in Scotland in 1999.

Rodriguez said: ‘Mrs Maxwell took him to England to introduce him to the Royal Family.’

When asked by lawyers if he knew whether Maxwell, 62, had ever dated Andrew, Rodriguez replied: “I don’t know.”

The revelation that Epstein’s home was full of private photos of the prince will be disturbing for the royal family.

Only a handful of photos of the two together have been seen by the public, including one taken in December 2010 as they strolled through New York’s Central Park.

Andrew infamously told Emily Maitlis in his ‘car crash’ Newsnight interview that he had flown to the US to end his and Epstein’s 11-year friendship, saying it was ‘honourable and the right thing to do’ .

Rodriguez, who died in 2015 at the age of 60, described seeing dozens of young women walk through the door of the Florida home and described himself as “a human ATM” because he was told to carry cash at all times to pay the women who ‘massaged’ Epstein.

His statement was part of a trove of more than 1,300 documents released Friday related to a now-settled defamation case between Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre and Maxwell.

The Miami Herald successfully filed a lawsuit to make public all documents in the case, a process that began last Tuesday and is expected to last two weeks.

In another shocking revelation last week, it emerged that a ‘smoking gun’ photo of Andrew may exist.

Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein’s alleged victims, claimed that the Prince posed for a photo with a Spitting Image doll of himself while he allegedly grabbed her breast.

In a sworn witness statement, Ms. Sjoberg said she met Andrew in 2001 at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, along with his accuser Ms. Giuffre, then known as Virginia Roberts, and Maxwell.

She said: ‘Ghislaine told me to come upstairs and we went into a cupboard and took out the doll, the caricature of Prince Andrew, and brought him downstairs.

‘There was a little card on the doll that said ‘Prince Andrew’ and then I knew who he was.

“And they decided to take a picture with it, with Virginia and Andrew sitting on a couch. They put the doll on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the doll’s hand on Virginia’s chest, and Andrew put his hand on my chest, and they took a picture.”

Last night a source said: ‘If that photo emerges it will be the final nail in Andrew’s coffin.

“It can’t be good for Andrew to know that this photo with a smoking gun is out there somewhere and could be made public any day.”

While the whereabouts of the photo are unknown, it may have been seized by the FBI during a raid on Epstein’s eight-story New York home in 2019.

But a source close to Maxwell yesterday angrily denied Ms Sjoberg’s claim, saying: ‘The photo does not exist. If it existed, it would certainly have been used in the criminal case against Ghislaine. And it wasn’t. It’s another lie.’

When approached last night, Ms Sjoberg politely declined to comment on the photo.

Andrew has vehemently and repeatedly denied all claims against him. He settled a civil suit brought by Ms. Giuffre in 2022 for a reported $12 million, but admitted no wrongdoing.

The dump of documents has been ‘devastating’ for the prince, who is said by friends to be ‘totally anguished’.

Juan Alessi, Epstein’s former butler, claimed Andrew spent “weeks” at the Florida mansion and received “daily” massages, while his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, also visited.

When asked if the couple got massages, Alessi replied: ‘Prince Andrew did. I think Sarah was only there once and for a short time. I don’t think she slept there. I can not remember. But Prince Andrew, yes, Prince Andrew spent weeks with us.”

Alessi also described the “cleaning up” after Epstein and Maxwell received massages.

He said the couple’s sex toys were kept in a laundry basket in her wardrobe, adding: ‘I found things like a dildo… put on my gloves, took it out, rinsed it out and put it in the cupboard from Mrs. Maxwell.’

Witnesses have also said photos of Epstein with former US President Bill Clinton and Microsoft founder Bill Gates were on display, alongside photos of partially clothed young girls and a nude photo of Maxwell on a beach.

The Duke of York was contacted for comment.
