She is convicted of trafficking minors for abuse and he is facing trial for sexual abuse. Details now released shed new light on Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell’s relationship. Friends claim that the two should even have been a couple.
Things are getting darker for the Queen’s son, Prince Andrew. In a new TV documentary, two independent sources say there may have been more than friendship between the Duke of York and Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand man.
Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of five counts in court in late December and was the late Jeffrey Epstein’s closest confidant. His circle of acquaintances also included Prince Andrew, who has also attended events hosted by Epstein in the past and is currently being sued by Virginia Roberts Giuffre for sexual abuse in this connection.
Prince Andrew and Maxwell were very familiar with each other
In the upcoming TV documentary “Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Pedophile” on British TV channel ITV with host Ranvir Singh, which will be broadcast on Tuesday January 18th, two men comment on the relationship between Maxwell and the prince. This appears to have been narrower in the past than was previously known. Euan Rellie, a British investment banker who lives in New York and studied with Maxwell at Oxford, was a regular at the well-known Epstein parties. Rellie describes that the chemistry between Maxwell and the prince was strikingly intimate and cordial. He does not rule out that more than friendship could have happened between the two in the past.
Ghislaine Maxwell had unlimited palace access
A second man, a former palace security employee named Paul Page, is also questioned by moderator Singh about the relationship between the two. He adds: “I and a colleague were wondering if there was a more intimate bond between Maxwell and Prince Andrew. Maxwell went in and out of the palace.” Rellie also supports this thesis, because Ghislaine Maxwell also described the friendly constellation in such a way that Prince Andrew was her friend, not primarily Jeffrey’s.
In a 2019 interview, Prince Andrew himself may have hinted at the relationship, as he explained that he too had visited Ghislaine Maxwell’s home in Belgravia, London.
