Photo: suppliedA right royal ruckus is going on in Britain over a copy of a photo taken by Arrowtown photographer Michael Thomas. As scandal swirls around Prince Andrew, BBC TV this week aired a programme during which it talked to Thomas about a photo of Andrew with American Virginia Roberts, then 17, allegedly forced to have sex with the royal in 2001. Andrew, the Queen’s second son, last month implied in a TV interview the original photo may have been doctored. Thomas snapped a copy of that photo, now in FBI hands, when on assignment in Australia for Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper in 2011. The photo of Andrew and Giuffre was taken in the London house of Epstein’s then girlfriend, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
