Prince Andrew 'has kept in constant touch with Jeffrey Epstein 'pimp' Ghislaine Maxwell via phone and email'

Prince Andrew has kept in constant contact with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, it has been claimed today. 
The Duke of York, 59, invited Maxwell, 57, to Buckingham Palace in June, just a month before Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges. 
But a source has now claimed the pair have been in touch by phone and email throughout the scandal over the prince's links to the convicted sex offender. 
They claim there is an 'unswerving loyalty' between the pair, who both deny any wrongdoing despite their close relationships with Epstein.

·          
Ms Maxwell, the 57-year-old daughter of late media tycoon Robert Maxwell, is accused of being Epstein's 'madam' who procured young girls for him to have sex with, a claim she denies  
The source told the Sun: 'They have remained constantly in touch by phone and email. The Duke has an unswerving loyalty to Ghislaine and she is also very loyal to him.
'Ghislaine will do anything to protect the Duke and the feeling is mutual. They both share the same view they have done nothing wrong.'
There is no indication of how the source knows about Andrew and Maxwell's communications. 
In his car crash Newsnight interview Andrew claimed he had not spoken about Epstein when he was last in contact with Maxwell because he 'wasn't in the news'.

He was arrested and later killed himself in his prison cell while still on sex trafficking charges. 
Andrew and Maxwell, daughter of the late media mogul Robert Maxwell, met each other while she was at university.
The Duke claims he met Epstein through Maxwell, who was in a romantic relationship with him, in 1999. 
She stayed silent after his death but newly released court papers reveal she admits recruiting women to 'massage' Epstein at least once a day. 
The socialite denies procuring young women for Epstein to have sex with. 
There has been mounting pressure on her and Andrew to come clean about their relationships with the paedophile and to assist US authorities in their investigations. 
Andrew's attempts to clear his name with an interview with the BBC backfired to such an extent he was forced to step down from royal duties.  
Maxwell has still not given any interviews but she gave a video statement to a New York court in a libel action brought by Virginia Roberts, who claims to have been Epstein's 'sex slave' and had sex with Prince Andrew three times.
In it she said: 'My job included hiring many people. There were six homes.
'I hired assistants, architects, decorators, cooks, cleaners, gardeners, pool people, pilots. I hired all sorts of people.'

Maxwell (pictured right in 2001) has still not given any interviews but she gave a video statement to a New York court in a libel action brought by Virginia Roberts (aged 17 centre), who claims to have been Epstein's 'sex slave' and had sex with Prince Andrew (left in 2001) three times 
'A very small part of my job was to find adult professional massage therapists for Jeffrey.
'From time to time I would visit professional spas. I would receive a massage and if it was good I would ask them if they did home visits.'
In her evidence, Maxwell admitted knowing Ms Roberts, who is now 36 and goes by her married name Guiffre, was just 17 years old when she began giving massages to Epstein at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. 
She also claims to have slept with Andrew, 59, three times, including once in London in 2001 when she was just 17. 
In his disastrous interview he denied ever meeting her and claimed a photo of them together was doctored. 
Ms Guiffre Roberts will give a tell-all interview to BBC Panorama tomorrow night in a programme that will also probe Maxwell's involvement in Epstein's criminal activity.  
Andrew said he would answer questions if asked to do so by the FBI in their investigation of Epstein and his estate. 

A Buckingham Palace spokesman did not wish to comment when approached by MailOnline.   

Never Waste a Good Crisis: Labour Pushes Monarchy Abolition in Wake of Woke Royals

There should be a referendum on the future of the monarchy in the wake of the Woke Royals developments, a contender in the race to replace Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said, as anti-monarchists scrabble to capitalise on the Royal family’s woes.
The comments came from leadership contender Clive Lewis, who said at his campaign launch Friday that he wanted the public to have a discussion about what a “modern state” looks like, and whether there would be a place for the monarchy in it.
Responding to questions from the floor, Mr Lewis expressed sympathy for Prince Harry and Meghan, who this week dropped a proverbial bombshell on the Queen and nation by announcing they would be withdrawing from UK public life to pursue their own goals in North America. Mr Lewis also repeated claims made by others that Meghan Markle had suffered from racism in the United Kingdom and that this could be a contributing factor to her departure.
The would-be Labour leader — and hence a candidate to be the next leader of the United Kingdom, an office that serves the monarch as her Prime Minister, Lewis said: “I think a lot of people would like to see the monarchy scaled-down… so why not have a referendum in this country on the future of the Royal family? We’re a democracy.
“I’d rather see us as citizens than subjects in the 21st century. Let’s talk about what a modern state looks like, and what the role of the Royal family would be, if it had one.”

Abolishing the monarchy has long been a pet project of the hard-left in Britain. Present Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been an outspoken supporter of abolition for decades — described as a lifelong republican, he has previously supported moves in Parliament to remove the Queen and has refused to sing the national anthem given its pro-monarchy themes.
Yet these are positions he has been silent on since becoming Labour leader in 2015, the matter proving too controversial for even the newly hard-left Labour party to speak about in public in a nation where support for the Queen and the institution remains high.
In bad news for would-be Labour leader Clive Lewis who appears to have decided not to let the crisis go to waste in using the present news cycle to float his anti-monarchy ideas, repeated and frequent polling in the UK shows sustained support and popularity for the Queen and monarchy. 2018 surveys found just 16 per cent of Britons said there should be no monarchs in future after Queen Elizabeth II dies, and seven-in-ten supported having a monarchy in future.
The figures suggest that should a referendum go ahead, the British people would vote overwhelmingly in favour of the Queen, and that a policy of questioning the monarchy under Clive Lewis could go down as well with voters as Jeremy Corbyn’s policy on Brexit did in recent UK elections.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
BEHIND THE THRONE   
by Adrian Tinniswood (Cape £25, 384pp)
Until Meghan Markle opened and shut a car door the other week, shocking the world, no member of the Royal Family in history had achieved such a dramatic feat unassisted.
They employ, says Adrian Tinniswood, armies of servants to ‘smooth their path through life’. They are entitled ‘by virtue of their position’ to a ‘cocoon of support to make their lives a little easier’.
Until recently, they did not cook, dress themselves, pour their own drinks, or make their beds.
Tinniswood tells us there even used to be a ‘groom of the stool’, who supervised the Sovereign’s bowel movements, and had ‘the right to attend the king at all times’, standing there presumably with the Andrex on a silver platter.
The post was discontinued by Queen Victoria in 1837. The royal latrine, by the way, was a wooden box covered in monogrammed velvet, with a padded seat and pewter pan.

During an economy drive, when Victoria was advised she perhaps needn’t employ 13 porters whose sole job was to replenish her coal scuttle, ‘she commanded that toilet paper should give way to newspaper squares in the castle lavatories at Windsor’.
What is revealed by this history of regal domesticity is that, in many respects, nothing has altered. Palace life still operates on an absurdly grand scale, cut off from the rest of struggling humanity.
Indeed, our own queen has always refused permission for the documentary The Royal Family, made in 1969, to be re-broadcast, as she ‘thought the film made her family look too ordinary’. The monarchy must only be extraordinary.
Today’s household contains 1,200 employees, who at Buckingham Palace enjoy a staff gym, pool, fitness facilities and (news to me — I’d love to be a fly on the wall) a counselling service. Queen Victoria had only 921 salaried retainers.
Additionally, in the 19th century, there were dozens of doctors, apothecaries and surgeons on permanent call — but none correctly diagnosed Albert’s renal failure and typhus fever.
George V, who has always been considered puritanical when compared with his father Edward VII, was looked after by 120 clerks and secretaries, 80 cleaners and maids, and when he went on holiday to Eastbourne was accompanied by a skeleton staff of only 45. When he visited India, there were three cows in his entourage to provide fresh milk. George III kept an orchestra of 22 at Windsor, led by a blind organist and a deaf conductor. Victoria’s band comprised 25 military musicians, who played behind a screen during meals.
Victoria’s court also contained a Hereditary Grand Falconer, at a salary of £1,200, yet there were no falcons, and a Master of the Tennis Courts, yet there was ‘no tennis court attached to the royal household’. The Alice in Wonderland atmosphere — the protocols so eccentric none dared question them (when Albert, and later Prince Philip, attempted to modernise the court they met with much resistance) — went back to Queen Elizabeth I, Gloriana herself.

Adrian claims the role of royalty demands magnificence and estimates the daily running of the Tudor royals was around £112 (£32,000 today) (Pictured: Princes Charles and Edward)
She travelled in state about her realm, staying in her innumerable castles and the mansions of her nobles, accompanied by a personal retinue of 350 grooms, pages, yeomen, ushers, conjurers, jesters and entertainers, who between them consumed 600,000 gallons of beer a year.
‘The role demands magnificence, and magnificence costs money,’ says Tinniswood, who estimates the daily Tudor running costs at £112 (£32,000 today). Bills were picked up by the aristocracy: when the queen stayed three nights in Middlesex, in 1602, she required 24 lobsters and 624 chickens. Four hundred teams of horses in gold-plated harnesses carried the royal luggage.
A few centuries later, it was similar. Queen Victoria owned 187 carriages, replaced by Edward VII with motor cars. He so adored speed, by the way, his mechanics were expected to adjust the tyres, check the brakes and examine the carburettor while the vehicle was actually in motion. Delays made him cross.
A platoon of ladies-in-waiting sorted out Queen Elizabeth I’s robes, jewels and wigs. Her laundry was kept separate — dealt with by a special washerwoman. There were food tasters to check for poison.

Victoria had eight Ladies of the Bedchamber, and the present monarch has a rota of ladies-in-waiting to keep her company and hang on to the flowers proffered at walkabouts by members of the public.
‘Everything’, says Tinniswood, ‘was meticulously organised’ — whether at the renaissance court or the present-day one — in order to micro-manage the Royal Family’s contact with the outside world.
Cabinet ministers even had to be present at regal births, to ensure babies weren’t switched. It was only after Princess Margaret was born at Glamis Castle that this stopped.
Extravagance and spectacle always meant waste, for example all those unnecessary courses at banquets. There was a lot of pilfering: silver plate, candles, coal, furniture and even window panes went missing.
The household was also inefficiently run. One department laid the fires, for example, and quite another one applied the match.
They were often not on speaking terms — in more modern times, the Queen Mother’s chauffeur regularly sulked. ‘Have the car ready at 8.45 prompt, ready to leave,’ barked an equerry. ‘No,’ said the chauffeur.

BEHIND THE THRONE by Adrian Tinniswood (Cape £25, 384pp)
Sir Alastair Aird, the Queen Mother’s Man Friday, intervened: ‘You can’t speak like that to the chauffeur, he is a very emotional person. You have to approach it in a very nice conversational way.’
It is the Man Fridays — the private secretaries and press secretaries — who do most to burnish the public image of monarchy.
The likes of Henry Ponsonby, Tommy Lascelles, Richard Colville, Michael Adeane, and so forth (mocked in the TV series The Crown as ‘the moustaches’), are the descendants of 17th-century Elizabethan viziers and chamberlains. These men (always men — always ex-military and public-school) draft reports, write letters and speeches, examine Foreign Office dispatches, double-check travel arrangements, represent royalty at funerals, and bear the brunt of the sovereign’s moods.
Confidentiality is at a premium. The Royal Family requires their employees never to blab — ‘utterly oyster’, in the Queen Mother’s phrase. When Crawfie, the nanny, published an innocuous memoir, she was banished to Aberdeen. ‘The Royal Family did not send flowers’ when she died.
Tinniswood wraps up his study with the Coronation in 1953. There were 11,651 members of the Armed Forces lining the processional route. As there were no Portaloos, ‘the maximum use must be made of the latrines in camp beforehand,’ soldiers were advised. No monogrammed velvet thunderboxes for them.
