Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence. From prison, she expresses doubts about a meeting between Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre. The famous photo of Andrew, Giuffre and her could be fake.
The 20-year sentence of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-confidant Ghislaine Maxwell has given her first TV interview from prison. In the conversation, which will be broadcast on TalkTV tomorrow, Monday, the 61-year-old jumped to Prince Andrew’s side, according to “The Sun”. She couldn’t remember that the brother of King Charles III. have ever spent time with alleged abuse victim Virginia Giuffre in the US or UK.
Allegedly, there is no original of the incriminating photo.

As evidence, Maxwell claims the famous photo of the Duke of York standing next to Maxwell with his arm around Giuffre, who was then 17, may be fake: “I don’t remember them meeting and that she was even in my house. And that’s why I don’t think the picture is real.” There would be no original of the photo, only copies of copies. In addition, some experts have already spread the opinion that the illustration could have been edited with Photoshop.
Is Andrew seeking a revocation of the settlement?
But she knows that her former lover and boss, Jeffrey Epstein, has traveled with Giuffre frequently. That’s why the encounters are basically already within the realm of possibility: “It wasn’t so absurd that it couldn’t have happened.” Prince Andrew reached a settlement with Giuffre after their lawsuit. She previously claimed to have been forced to have sex with Andrew. It has recently been speculated that Prince Andrew may seek a revocation of the settlement.
The reason: In another process, Giuffre stated that she had made a mistake. She withdrew a defamation lawsuit against star attorney Alan Dershowitz after he denied allegations that she was forced to have sex with him. The 39-year-old publicly apologized and said she “maybe made a mistake” in identifying Dershowitz. She was young and in a “stressful and traumatic environment”.
