Ghislaine Maxwell's Royal Bombshell: Jailed Madame Claims Jeffrey Epstein 'Was Set Up On a Date With Princess Diana' in Explosive DOJ Interview

Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony suggests Epstein's alleged meeting with Princess Diana could have been a setup, revealed during a Justice Department interview amid her appeal efforts.

  • On Friday, the Department of Justice released transcripts and audio showing Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month that Jeffrey Epstein may have been "set up" on a date with Princess Diana.
  • Seeking a pardon, Maxwell agreed to cooperate with prosecutors last month amid public pressure and ongoing appeals in the Department of Justice's interview series.
  • Though Diana died on August 31, 1997, Maxwell suggested the meeting's timing was unclear and may have been in the early 2000s; she denied introducing Epstein to royals and said Rosa Monckton may have organized it while Sarah Ferguson 'was putting the moves' on Epstein.
  • The tapes' release is expected to reignite scrutiny of royal links to Epstein as Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, denies wrongdoing but settled a 2022 US civil case without admitting liability.
  • The DOJ's release suggests prosecutors see potential evidential value as Maxwell pursues appeals and higher court review while investigations into Epstein's high-level relationships continue.
