Royal Family News: Severe Setback For Prince Andrew’s Convict Friend Ghislaine Maxwell

British royal family news shows that Prince Andrew’s friend, convicted felon Ghislaine Maxwell, just experienced a humiliating setback behind bars after being sentenced for sex trafficking. Ghislaine was labeled the “pimp” for late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew’s longtime American friend. She is serving a 20-year sentence in a low security prison dubbed Club Fed in Tallahassee, Florida.

In February Andrew was stripped of his royal titles due to his out of court settlement with one of the Epstein/Maxwell’s victims.

According to the DailyMail.com, “Court documents filed in the US Virgin Islands … show that lawyers representing the convicted sex-trafficker in her bid to squeeze money out of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have withdrawn their counsel.”

In other words, Maxwell was, “fired by her lawyers for failing to pay her bills.”

Maxwell’s lawyers declared in the documents that she has failed to pay her debts despite repeated requests to make good on her legal costs.

This is the second time that Maxwell has been called out as a money cheat in recent weeks; she is being sued by her criminal defense lawyers for failure to pay a bill of more than $850,000.

In March 2020 Maxwell filed a suit against Epstein’s estate in the Virgin Islands, after he committed suicide in prison. According to the outlet, Epstein’s island was known as, “pedophile island.” In short, Maxwell’s suit claimed that Epstein promised to pay any legal bills stemming from her “employment” by him.

The alleged costs were, “in connection with any threatened, pending or completed suit [in] relation to Epstein…and his alleged victims.”

In February Prince Andrew paid millions of dollars to former Epstein/Maxwell victim Virginia Giuffre. The out of court settlement ended her lawsuit in which she alleged Andrew sexually assaulted her when she was underage. Andrew has denied the charges.

Maxwell claimed that Epstein, “promised that he would support her financially.” In 2008 he was convicted of, “procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute in Palm Beach, Florida, where he had a home.” Virginia Giuffre was one of those victims and prior to her out of court settlement with Andrew, she received money from a victim’s fund set up by Epstein.

Maxwell now has two months to find new legal representation. That may be difficult given the charges of being a serial fraudster pending against her.
