The British royal family has been dragged once again into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as a photograph emerged showing the late financier's alleged accomplice posing on a throne at Buckingham Palace.
The image of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell sitting alongside "House of Cards" star Kevin Spacey, who has also faced allegations of sexual misconduct, apparently at the Queen's London residence in 2002, was published by the UK-based Daily Telegraph newspaper on Saturday.
CNN could not confirm why Maxwell and Spacey were at the palace. The paper reported the pair had been invited into the throne room by Prince Andrew, who has come under public pressure to explain his relationship with Epstein and allegations by one of his accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Giuffre has alleged that she was forced into sexual encounters with the prince and other men while she was underage. They all have denied the allegations.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the photograph. A spokesperson for Prince Andrew also declined to comment.
