<\/a>Ghislaine Maxwell ‘more physically abusive than Epstein’, Giuffre told BBC<\/p>\n

The late Virginia Giuffre told the BBC that Ghislaine Maxwell could be more abusive than Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

The comments were made in previously unseen interview footage that aired last night on Panorama.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhislaine was more physically abusive in some aspects than Jeffrey Epstein even was,\u201d she told the BBC in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe almost took pleasure in the fact, knowing that you were highly uncomfortable and that you were feeling sick to your stomach and that you were going through pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021 and jailed for 20 years. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Editorial: Andrew must now answer questions from the US Congress about Jeffrey Epstein<\/p>\n

The King should be praised for doing the right thing by stripping his brother of his titles and evicting him from Royal Lodge<\/a> at Windsor. It was a strong decision, and a serious one, which is why it was not rushed.<\/p>\n

It had to be considered carefully, not least because Andrew Mountbatten Windsor<\/a>, the former prince, has not been convicted of an offence. He says he is innocent, and it is one of the most important principles of British law that he is accepted as such \u2013 unless and until he is proven otherwise.<\/p>\n

Mr Mountbatten Windsor is guilty of errors of judgement in associating with Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier<\/a> who was found dead in his cell in 2019 after being charged with conspiracy to traffic minors for sex.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Vanity Fair editor questioned inclusion of Princess Beatrice and Eugenie: report<\/p>\n

A senior editor at Vanity Fair has reportedly instructed staff to go easy on Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Post, Mark Guiducci, the magazine\u2019s global editorial director, questioned whether it was necessary to mention the Duke of York\u2019s daughters in a story about his connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

The report, citing news outlet Semafor, said Guiducci \u201cwanted to know if it was relevant to include the women in a piece about their father.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following his intervention, the article \u2013 which appeared in Vanity Fair\u2019s September issue \u2013 made only a passing reference to the princesses.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Vanity Fair told the Post: \u201cThe references to Beatrice and Eugenie in the draft are identical to what ran and still runs on VF.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Nothing was changed.\u201dGuiducci, who was previously chief creative officer at Vogue, took charge of Vanity Fair after being promoted within Cond\u00e9 Nast. <\/p>\n

Under his leadership, the magazine has adopted a more \u201cdeferential\u201d approach toward celebrities, Semafor suggested, as the publication increasingly depends on maintaining access to high-profile figures in an era of intense media competition. <\/p>\n

<\/a>ICYMI: Trump says royals suffered ‘terrible thing’ with pressure over Epstein scandal<\/p>\n

US president Donald Trump on Sunday said he “feel[s] badly” for the royal family after King Charles stripped his brother Andrew of his title as prince amid mounting pressure over the latter’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

“It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One after he was asked about Andrew’s situation.<\/p>\n

“That’s been a tragic situation and it’s too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.”<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace on Thursday announced that Charles had stripped Andrew, 65, of his title of prince and forced him out of his Windsor home, seeking to distance the royal family from him over his links to the Epstein scandal. <\/p>\n

It was one of the most dramatic moves against a member of the royal family in modern British history.<\/p>\n

Trump, a one-time friend of Epstein’s, has faced his own woes related to the disgraced financier’s downfall, with Democrats and some Republicans demanding that his administration release government files related to the Epstein case.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging he knew Epstein socially years ago, Trump has said he had a falling-out with the disgraced financier long before Epstein’s 2019 death in jail while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing multiple teenage girls. Hundreds of women have said Epstein abused them.<\/p>\n

In September, Democrats in the US House of Representatives made public a birthday note that Trump purportedly wrote to Epstein more than 20 years ago. <\/p>\n

The letter, whose authenticity the White House denies, includes the line, “May every day be another wonderful secret.” <\/p>\n

From favourite son to tabloid fodder, Andrew was stripped of his remaining titles and evicted from his royal residence after weeks of pressure to act over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

The former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, was no longer listed on the roll of the peerage, where he had previously appeared as Duke of York, another of his titles. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Andrew biographer says \u2018more damaging\u2019 material to come<\/p>\n

<\/a>COMMENT: Andrew Mountbatten Windsor hasn\u2019t reached rock bottom yet<\/p>\n

After the King\u2019s historic decision to evict his brother and strip his official titles, the former prince must contend not only with his straitened circumstances and the public shaming, but also with the fact that he has long deluded himself about always putting \u2018duty first\u2019, says Sean O\u2019Grady:<\/p>\n
