a child and placed on the sex offenders

register.

The emergence of the video came af-

ter prosecutors in the US said they

were continuing their investigations

into Epstein’s crimes and their atten-

tion had turned to his associates.

The source said that they had gone

public with the footage to try and en-

courage other victims to come forward.

The Duke is braced for the release of

further court documents in the coming

weeks after being named in documents

relating to Ghislaine Maxwell, the Brit-

ish socialite alleged to have “acted as a

madam” for her lover Epstein.

She has repeatedly denied the

claims.

Buckingham Palace repeated their

“emphatic denial” of allegations against

the Duke made by Virginia Roberts,

one of Epstein’s victims.

A spokesman for the Palace said:

“Any suggestion of impropriety with

under-age minors is categorically un-

true.”

The Duke is currently on holiday in

Spain with his former wife Sarah,

Duchess of York.

Duke of York pictured inside Epstein’s NY mansion

By Hayley Dixon

PEERING out from behind the 15ft-

high solid oak door, the Duke of York is

seen to catch himself and check if any-

one is watching as he waves goodbye to

an attractive brunette.

And it may be little surprise that he

was concerned that someone might

spot him in the doorway of the £63 mil-

lion Manhattan mansion, as it belonged

to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

A video of the encounter emerged as

the Duke faced a growing list of ques-

tions over this association with the fi-

nancier who died in prison in an

apparent suicide earlier this month.

The Duke is seen in the video emerg-

ing in the imposing doorway of the

New York building which Epstein’s vic-

tims have dubbed the “House of Hor-

rors” to chat for a few seconds and then

wave goodbye to an unnamed woman.

Before he closes the door he peers

around it, apparently to see if anyone is

watching.

Less than an hour earlier, Epstein

had left the house in a thick fur-lined

coat in the company of a young blonde

woman who was wearing a thin jumper

and appeared to be shivering.

Witnesses told The Mail on Sunday

that the woman entering and leaving

the house while the Duke was inside

“looked very young indeed”.

The footage is from December 2010

when the Duke, then the UK’s special

representative for trade, stayed with

Epstein in his New York home.

Previously, pictures have emerged

from the same trip of the pair walking

together in Central Park.

The corridor in which the Duke

stood to wave goodbye to the woman is

said to contain a number of bizarre

items, including a painting of Bill

Clinton, the former US president,

wearing the dress that Monica Lewin-

sky was famously wearing when she

performed a sex act on him, and a chan-

delier with a life-size female doll hang-

ing from it.

Two years before the video was shot,

Epstein had been convicted of sex with

Beach town recalls

reclusive ‘G’ Maxwell

By Rozina Sabur

in Manchester-by-the-Sea,

Massachusetts

GHISLAINE MAXWELL’S

sister has been spotted pack-

ing up bags near the secluded

beachfront mansion the Brit-

ish socialite had been staying

in after her former boyfriend

Jeffrey Epstein was rear-

rested on child sex trafficking

charges.

Ghislaine, 57, was thought

to have been staying at the

property owned by Scott

Borgerson, in Manchester-

by-the-sea, Massachusetts,

for some time but has not

been seen in the area for sev-

eral weeks.

However The Daily Tele-

graph observed Christine

Maxwell, her older sister,

packing a number of bags a

few miles from the property

on Saturday with the help of a

friend. Approached by this

newspaper, Christine, who

had been staying at a hotel in

the area, declined to com-

ment on the allegations sur-

rounding her sister.

The 69-year-old and her

husband, the physicist Roger

Malina, are thought to be liv-

ing in Dallas, Texas, where he

teaches at the University of

Texas. Christine is a doctoral

candidate in philosophy at

the university, according to

their website.

According to locals

in Manchester-by-the-Sea,

Ghislaine went by “G” rather

than her full first name, and

was often spotted taking a

Vizsla dog for walks, but oth-

erwise largely kept to herself.

According to a neighbour,

she had not been seen in the

well-heeled New England

town for several weeks. Mr

Borgerson, a tech CEO, dis-

tanced himself from Ghis-

laine this week, telling

reporters that she was not at

his home and that he did not

know where she was.

Ghislaine, the British

daughter of the late newspa-

per tycoon Robert Maxwell,

has found herself at the cen-

tre of the Epstein scandal af-

ter the financier hanged

himself in his jail cell on Aug

10. He was awaiting trial in
    New York on new charges of
    sex trafficking underage
    girls. William Barr, the US at-
    torney general, has warned
    that “any co-conspirators
    should not rest easy” and
    lawyers for Epstein’s accus-
    ers are said to be keen to
    speak to Ghislaine as the con-
    spiracy case into Epstein’s
    network continues.
    The socialite’s current
    whereabouts are unknown.
    Ghislaine has never been
    charged with any crime, and
    has always denied any
    wrongdoing in connection
    with Epstein’s sexual abuses.
    Court documents un-
    sealed on Aug 9 revealed she
    was accused of playing a key
    role in procuring young girls
    for Epstein.
