“Prince Andrew may have had an intimate relationship with Maxwell”: New documentary reveals accounts of people close to Maxwell and Prince Andrew
In a shocking turn of events, reports alleging Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein's former lover Ghislaine Maxwell to have shared an intimate relationship are set to be revealed in the new documentary Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile.
The documentary, which will air on Tuesday on the UK's ITV channel, will feature people close to the former socialite and the Duke of York, including former royal protection officer Paul Page who claimed that Maxwell became a regular visitor at the Palace in 2001 — the year the two personalities were photographed with Virginia Giuffre, Andrew's accuser, at Maxwell's London mansion.

Page said: “From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace at will, we realised — suspected — that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew.”
“A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day. She kept coming in and out, in and out.”
Page's claim was backed by Euan Rellie, a banker and former close friend of Maxwell before the socialite and her group got disgraced.
“I got the sense that Prince Andrew and Ghislaine had probably been girlfriend and boyfriend in the past,” he said.
“They had an easy warmth around each other.”
Rellie also claimed that the media heiress invited him to a dinner party in Epstein's New York townhouse, saying that the party was "for my friend Prince Andrew".
Rellie said: “She described Andrew as being her friend, not Jeffrey’s.”
Elsewhere in the preview of the documentary, ITV's Ranvir Singh, who will be hosting and narrating the documentary, called the cellphone number found among a number of contacts in Epstein's infamous "little black book".
“Hello … I think this might be Prince Andrew,” the reporter said after hearing a voicemail message.
Singh looked shocked as she turned to her crew and said, “I mean, that sounded like Prince Andrew’s voice.”
“We found your number in the little black book and we’d like to have a chat with you,” the TV presenter said, assuming that she's talking to the royal.
The documentary also reveals the details of Andrew's alleged ill behaviour towards the palace maids.
Page said that the royal is known for having 50 or 60 stuffed toys” on his bed at the palace.
“If those bears weren’t put back in the right order by the maids, he would shout and scream and become very abusive,” Page claimed.

ITV said that the Duke of York declined to comment.
Andrew has continuously denied the sexual abuse allegations towards him and on Thursday, his titles were stripped of him, meaning he will have to defend himself in court as a private citizen.
