Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker, has been questioned extensively by the US Justice Department about her knowledge of Prince Andrew's relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Newly released transcripts of her interviews reveal that Maxwell insisted she did not introduce the two, instead claiming that Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, was the one who fostered the friendship.
Maxwell also denied the long-standing allegation that Prince Andrew had sex with Virginia Giuffre in her London home, claiming it was logistically and physically impossible and that she was not even in London at the time of the alleged incident.
The Duke of York has consistently and strenuously denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
This news is of paramount interest to a UK audience due to the direct involvement of a senior member of the Royal Family and the ongoing scrutiny surrounding his past associations.
Maxwell also maintained in the transcripts that the infamous photo of herself, Andrew, and Giuffre was 'a fake photo.'
