In her first interview since being convicted of sex-trafficking charges, Ghislaine Maxwell said she feels bad for her “dear friend” Prince Andrew. According to The Sun, she looked “shaken” when told that Prince Andrew’s lawyers claimed the pair weren’t close. I accept that this friendship could not survive my conviction. He is paying such a price for the association. I consider him a dear friend. I care about him, Ghislaine Maxwell. Earlier this year Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in the US for sex-trafficking girls for Jeffrey Epstein. These are charges that she continues to deny. When asked whether she thinks she could be friends with Prince Andrew once she’s released she said she does not “have any expectation”.
