Ghislaine Maxwell says she feels bad for ‘dear friend’ Prince Andrew

Ghislaine Maxwell has spoken from a US prison cell about how she feels "so bad" for her "dear friend" Prince Andrew.

In her first lengthy interview since her conviction on sex-trafficking charges last year, Maxwell said she still cared about the Duke of York, who has been stripped of royal duties over his relationship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking to the Israeli-American documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak, Maxwell said: "I feel so bad for him. I follow what is happening to him.''

According to the Sun on Sunday, which published the interview, Maxwell looked "shaken" when told that the prince's lawyers had claimed the pair were never close.

She replied: "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."

The remarks will cause fresh embarrassment for Andrew as he has repeatedly tried to distance himself from the disgraced socialite.

Maxwell, 60, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June for procuring teenage girls for Epstein to abuse from 1994 to 2004. She continues to deny the charges.
