Jeffrey Epstein cohort Ghislaine Maxwell, speaking from her Florida jail cell, said in a recent interview she feels 'so bad' for her 'dear friend' Prince Andrew.
"I accept that this friendship could not survive my conviction," Maxwell said."He is paying such a price for the association. I consider him a dear friend. I care about him." Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in exhibit photos.
Andrew, now eighth in line to the throne following Queen Elizabeth II’s death on Sept. 8, was stripped of his honorary military roles in June amid the furor surrounding a lawsuit. The case alleged that Andrew had had sex with a 17-year-old supplied to him by Epstein. The queen also removed his honorary leadership of various charities and known patronages, and she barred him from using the title"His Royal" highness in official settings.
The jury found Maxwell guilty of recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual encounters with her and Epstein between 1994 and 2004 at the late billionaire’s mansions and estates in Manhattan, New Mexico, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. During her interview with Maxwell, Barak asked the disgraced socialite whether she would have done anything differently if she could go back.
"Meeting Epstein was the greatest mistake of my life. And obviously, if I could go back today, I would avoid meeting him," Maxwell said."I would say that that would be the greatest mistake I’ve ever made, and I would make different choices from where I would. Obviously." Epstein killed himself at 66 in his jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on a sex trafficking indictment. Maxwell’s attorneys have argued that she became a scapegoat for his crimes after his suicide.
