Jeffrey Epstein led two different lives - sex offender and celebrity networker - and he did that in the UK as well as the US.
The newly released Epstein documents reveal, in particular, how the paedophile financier ascended into the highest levels of British society.
This photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sprawled across the lap of several women, whose identities have been protected, speaks to his close relationship with Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed for child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with Epstein. But the furnishings are even more revealing.
Epstein files - latest updates
Sky News matched the fireplace in this photo with the one in Sandringham, the estate where the royals tend to spend Christmas - (Andrew is not invited this year).
Andrew has vigorously denied any accusations against him.
Also included in the latest release are Epstein's flight records. They provide some useful corroborating evidence.
On 9 March 2001, his plane landed at "EGGW" - Luton Airport - with JE, GM and VR on board - Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Roberts, better known by her married name of Virginia Giuffre and perhaps Epstein's most famous accuser.
The next day is when this photo was alleged to have been taken, in London, of Giuffre and Andrew.
Other photos show Maxwell on the steps of Downing Street - and power was as much a draw as celebrity.
On 15 May 2002, the flight records show Epstein again arriving at Luton.
The next day is when he met Tony Blair, prime minister at the time. This was before Epstein's first arrest and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing.

The meeting was arranged by Peter Mandelson, who lost his job as ambassador to the US because of his Epstein connections, and who features prominently in the files.
The UK was a draw for Epstein's wider circle too - Maxwell here is pictured touring the Churchill War Rooms with Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey. Neither are accused of wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
And the other grim life that Epstein led, of sex trafficking, also had British links.
Another document released in the files, from 2019, shows witness testimony from Maxwell's trial. In it, a victim is mentioned who is "17 years old" and who grew up "in England". She would later be taken to Epstein's private Caribbean island.
