DEAD RINGERS

Prince Andrew and paedo Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous New York meeting recreated for Netflix drama

PRINCE Andrew is “seen” on his infamous New York walkabout with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein — in scenes filmed for a Netflix show about the scandal.

Our exclusive pictures show actors — including Rufus Sewell, 55, as the Duke of York — recreating the duo’s 2010 meeting which heaped pressure on Andrew over his friendship with the late financier.

The Duke of York’s walkabout with Epstein was an uncomfortable talking point in his TV interview

The scenes were shot in central London on Friday for upcoming film Scoop, which focuses on Andrew’s disastrous 2019 Emily Maitlis Newsnight interview.

They show Andrew and Epstein, who had been released from prison after admitting prostituting minors, leaving the tycoon’s apartment before they walked together through New York’s Central Park.

And a source said: “Although it was filmed in London, it does ­recreate the famous images of the pair in New York really well.

“Both actors are dead ringers for Andrew and Epstein, and it will make uncomfortable viewing for Andrew and the Royal Family generally.”

Andrew, 63, who agreed a multi-million pound settlement with sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre, was grilled about the trip to see Epstein in the interview.

He told Maitlis — played by Gillian Anderson in Scoop — he had travelled to New York to tell Epstein their friendship was over, although he stayed for four days.

Epstein, 66, was found hanged in jail in August 2019 — a month before the interview.
