Did Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell Date in the Past?
Did Prince Andrew have a more intimate relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell?
Prince Andrew has been suffering media and public scrutiny due to his relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein and recently convicted Maxwell. Their friendship has been known for a long time, but it turns out the Duke of York had a flirty relationship with the socialite.
Epstein's ex-maid on his Caribbean island, Little St. James, broke her silence in the Channel 4 documentary "Ghislaine Maxwell: Making of a Monster" and said that the royal and Maxwell were "something more."
Island manager Miles Alexander and his wife, housekeeping manager Cathy, began working for Epstein in 1999.
According to the couple, Prince Andrew visited the island thrice - the first was by himself and the remaining two were with Maxwell.
Cathy revealed that Prince Andrew and Maxwell would swim together and ride jet skis. The duke also treated the mansion as his home, so he would open the kitchen and ask the maid what they could eat.
She added that the duo was flirty during those times, sparking rumors that they might be in a relationship.
The ex-maid's comments resonated with what investment banker Euan Rellie said.
OK Magazine said Rellie met Maxwell at college, and she thought that Prince Andrew and the woman were more than friends.
"She described Andrew as being her friend, not Jeffrey's. I got the sense that Prince Andrew and Ghislaine had probably been girlfriend and boyfriend in the past. They had an easy warmth around each other," she said, according to The Telegraph.
Rellie added that she sensed how Prince Andrew and Maxwell became girlfriend and boyfriend in the past.

Aside from Rellie and Cathy, former palace guard Paul Page revealed in the ITV documentary, "Ghislaine, Prince Andrew, and the Pedophile" that the duke had a relationship with Maxwell.
"From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace at will, we realized - suspected - that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew," Page said. "A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day. She kept coming in and out, in and out."
The US Department of Justice also released the never-before-seen photographs of Epstein and Maxwell taking their time off at Queen Elizabeth II's Balmoral Estate in Scotland.
The new claims came after a federal judge sentenced the socialite to 20 years in prison after finding her guilty of trafficking girls for Epstein.
