If this sounds like a relatively minor instalment in what has now been years of disgrace, starting in 2011 with the Mail on Sunday’s first publication of a photo of Andrew with Giuffre, note that it was Andrew’s habit to sign even his most intimate correspondence “A, HRH the Duke of York, KG.” That was how he signed his email to Jeffrey Epstein, anyway, the one that was sent on 28 February 2011. It was the day after that famous photo was published, and 12 weeks after Andrew claims to have cut all contact with the sex trafficker. “It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it,” the email read – the Mail on Sunday verified his email address and Epstein’s – concluding, even more nauseatingly, “Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”
