The Duke of York’s relationship with Epstein has been in the spotlight in recent years, though he vehemently denies any wrongdoing.
Previously during the trial, Andrew was named as a passenger aboard Epstein’s private planes by the paedophile’s former pilot, Lawrence Visoski.
He was name-dropped alongside Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Chris Tucker, Kevin Spacey and others.
The Duke of York declined to comment on the picture.
Maxwell is alleged to have “served up” girls for former lover Epstein to abuse and also allegedly participated in some of the attacks – which she denies.
Also released were creepy pictures showing Maxwell giving Epstein a foot massage.
Two of the photos released show her massaging Epstein’s feet while they are on his private plane, nicknamed the ‘Lolita Express’.
Another image shows Maxwell with her arms wrapped around him in an intimate embrace.
There are also pictures of the pair with their arms around each other on holiday and her kissing him.
Maxwell’s trial has been told her and Epstein had been in a relationship but remained “the best of friends” after they split.
Prosecutors have described them as being “partners in crime” in the abuse of girls.
The images were found on CDs in Epstein’s Manhattan mansion during an FBI raid in 2019 following his arrest on sex trafficking charges.
The jury has also been shown pictures of the pair kissing and her naked on the beach, which were seized by cops from his Palm Beach mansion in 2005.
The court also heard that FBI agents found a Word document, created using the name ‘Gmax’, which has been linked to Maxwell, that described the defendant’s intimate relationship with Epstein.
It read: “Jeffrey and Ghislaine have been together, a couple, for the last 11 years.
“They are, contrary to what many people think, rarely apart. I almost always see them together.”
It continued: “Ghislaine is highly intelligent and great company with a ready smile and an infectious laugh, will always put one at one’s ease and always makes one feel welcome.
“Jeffrey and Ghislaine share many mutual interests and they have a lot of fun together. Jeffrey and Ghislaine compliment each other really well and I can’t imagine one without the other.
“On top of being partners, they are also the best of friends.”
It come as the third of Maxwell’s accusers to testify at her trial said she was 14 when she met Virginia through a boyfriend.
Known as Carolyn to protect her identity, she said she was introduced to Epstein and told to massage him in order to make money – and when she went to his house, she was greeted by Maxwell.
She told the court she was then taken to a massage room and the paedophile and Virginia Roberts were also there.
“After 45 minutes of massaging his back, Epstein turned over, and Epstein and Virginia started having sex,” she said.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre – as she’s now known – has claimed she had sex with Prince Andrew in a toilet when she was 17, after he had allegedly plied her with vodka in a posh London club.
The royal has vehemently denied the accusations against him, branding them “false” and “without foundation”.
She also claimed she saw a photo of the socialite naked and pregnant at Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion.
Maxwell is not known to have ever had children and no further details were given about the alleged pregnancy in court yesterday.
Under cross-examination she said she did not know if the images had been altered digitally.
Other pictures shown in court were seized during a raid on Epstein’s property in Palm, Beach Florida – which Maxwell was in charge of running, the court heard.
The jury has been told Maxwell and Epstein had been in a relationship but remained “the best of friends” after they split.
Other images, including one that appears to be a nude picture of Maxwell, were shown to the jury on Monday.
Another showed the socialite kissing Epstein while a second showed her giving the millionaire a foot rub.
The cache of digital photos found on CDs also includes images of two of Maxwell’s accusers.
They are depicted in various states of undress, prosecutors say.
Convicted sex offender Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial for further sex trafficking charges in August 2019.
Maxwell was arrested suddenly in July 2020 – and has been held in prison ever since as she was deemed a flight risk.
