Maxwell Speaks
Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted in 2021 for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, has made a new claim.
In a recent interview with a Deputy Attorney General, she alleged that Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, once tried to “put the moves” on Epstein.
The conversation took place over two days last month inside a Florida correctional facility.
The Allegation Against Ferguson
Maxwell said the Duchess appeared eager to impress Epstein.
She claimed Ferguson flirted with him openly during a social gathering.
According to Maxwell, Epstein dismissed her advances with little interest.
The Duchess, who has faced scandals of her own, has not commented on Maxwell’s story.
Her spokesperson declined requests for a statement.
Epstein’s Circle of Influence
The claim highlights once again the powerful circle Epstein cultivated.
His homes in New York, Florida, and the Caribbean attracted celebrities, royalty, and politicians.
Ferguson’s former husband, Prince Andrew, was one of Epstein’s most controversial associates.
The Duke of York stepped back from public life after accusations of sexual misconduct.
Although he denied wrongdoing, his ties to Epstein damaged his reputation permanently.
Maxwell’s Strategy in Prison
Observers believe Maxwell is trying to rewrite her own story.
From prison, she has pushed back on her image as Epstein’s chief enabler.
She has insisted she was “a scapegoat” for the disgraced financier’s crimes.
Her lawyers continue to file appeals, arguing her trial was unfair.
By naming Ferguson, Maxwell may be drawing attention away from her own actions.
Critics say her comments are calculated attempts to shift blame.
The Ongoing Fallout
The fallout from Epstein’s world continues years after his death in 2019.
His network of friendships, donations, and deals remains under scrutiny.
New lawsuits and investigations still uncover details about his financial and social reach.
Ferguson now faces renewed interest in her past connections.
Royal watchers say the Duchess will likely ignore Maxwell’s claim rather than confront it.
Yet the story ensures her name is once again tied to the Epstein scandal.
