A photo of the creepy lookalike puppet that then-Prince Andrew is accused of using to grope sex accuser Virginia Giuffre has been unveiled in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files.

The doll — fashioned in the now-disgraced royal’s likeness from satirical British TV show “Spitting Image” — was spotted in the background of a snap of his sex-trafficking pal Ghislaine Maxwell inside Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse.

The existence of the puppet first emerged nearly a decade ago when Giuffre, Epstein’s most prominent victim, alleged in court papers that the then-prince had used it to grab her breasts when she was just 17.

The claim surfaced again in her posthumous memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” which was published in October — months after Giuffre died by suicide.

“When Andrew cupped my breast with a doll made in his image, I only giggled away,” she wrote, adding that she had to pretend she was entertained by the “lewd gestures.”

Giuffre had alleged for years that she was trafficked and forced to have sex with Andrew three times as a teen at Maxwell’s London home, Epstein’s New York townhouse, and his private Caribbean island, Little St. James.

The accusations — and his disastrous attempts to address them — led to him losing all his royal duties and titles. He now goes by the commoner name of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Andrew has long vehemently denied Giuffre’s claims, but reached a settlement thought to have been worth $12 million to drop a civil lawsuit before her death.
