Ghislaine Maxwell will NEVER sell out Prince Andrew says confidante Laura Goldman as she claims the royal and the socialite had a fling - and the Duke is urged to go to the FBI
Pressure mounted on
Prince Andrew to speak to the FBI before
Ghislaine Maxwell starts ‘naming names’.
Maxwell faces up to 35 years in prison for child sex charges after officers swooped on her US bolthole on Thursday.
It comes as a close confidante of Maxwell says she will 'never sell out' Prince Andrew as part of any plea deal with investigators after she was arrested on child sex charges.
Laura Goldman, who has known Maxwell for several years, told
The Telegraph she would 'never' offer information about alleged links between Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein.
'The only way she can walk is if she gives someone up, but that definitely won’t be Andrew,' Ms Goldman told the publication.
'She is so appreciative that when she first came to New York, the Duke helped to launch her into high society. She always talks about what a true friend he is. She doesn’t see any reason to speak about him to the authorities.'
Ms Goldman suggested Maxwell would be more likely to discuss Epstein's dealings with former US President Bill Clinton and his successor Donald Trump. No allegations have been made about either man.
There is concern among royal circles over what implications Ms Maxwell’s arrest in New Hampshire on Thursday could have for the Duke, 60, who was reportedly introduced to the billionaire paedophile by her in 1999.
Tonight, a new photograph emerged of the socialite sitting in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace alongside actor Kevin Spacey in 2002, years before police began investigating Epstein's links to sex trafficking and abuse.
Yesterday one former associate of her late paedophile boyfriend
Jeffrey Epstein predicted she would co-operate fully with the authorities in a bid to reduce any future jail time, adding: ‘There’s a lot of people very worried. She knows everything.’
