Photographs appearing to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling on all fours over a female lying on the ground have been included in the latest batch of Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice.
In one of the images, he is seen touching the person, who is unidentified and fully clothed, on her stomach. Another image shows him staring directly at the camera.
No context is supplied for the photos and it is unclear when and where they were taken.
The images are likely to put further pressure on Mountbatten-Windsor, who has faced years of scrutiny over his past friendship with Epstein. BBC News has approached Mountbatten-Windsor for comment. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal titles in October after increasing scrutiny over his links to the paedophile Epstein.
Separate emails released on Friday also suggest the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein invited Mountbatten-Windsor to have dinner with a 26-year-old Russian woman. The messages were exchanged in August 2010, two years after the billionaire Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor.
The newly released email exchanges and photos form part of more than three million pages of documents and 180,000 images made public on Friday.
Other pictures released show redacted images of unidentified women, and what appear to be luxury apartments, hotel rooms, and a villa with a swimming pool.
