Prince Andrew and Buckingham Palace may keep on denying that he had sex with then 17-year-old Virginia Roberts, the alleged sex slave of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. However, at least he can't deny that he knows her, based on a photo of them together in the mansion of Epstein.

On Thursday, Daily Mail published other damming photos of the Duke of York, showing him vacationing on a yacht in Thailand with topless women. The photo, taken in 2001, has gone viral and is being shared in social media sites.

Not surprisingly, the Duke of York was with his friend, Epstein, who paid for the £2,300-a-week resort in Phuket, in that trip.

The article quotes a former acquaintance of the prince as describing him as a male who appreciates the female breast and buttocks. But he more than likes looking at them, the royal also allegedly has broken "the bounds of social acceptance" when he remarked about the female physical attributes that caused a pregnant women to be shocked and ashen-faced.

Prince Andrew and Epstein regularly went on holidays together, often accompanied by pretty and sexy women, ranging from blue-blooded ladies to underage girls like Roberts then.

The prince's friendship with Epstein wouldn't really be a big issue had not Roberts - who recently got an offer from an adult entertainment company to star in a porn movie for $500,000 - filed the lawsuit in 2008, which to this day haunts the financier in his private island in the Caribbean and Prince Andrew, who has Buckingham running to his defense.
