A few points, by way of summary:
> – **Maxwell was allowed to enter ‘at will’, to visit Prince’s apartments, ex-cop says**
– **She was was one of the Duke’s ‘most frequent visitors during the early 2000s’**
> Paul Page, who worked at Buckingham Palace from 1998 to 2004, said that Maxwell was often seen coming in and out of the Duke’s apartments.
> The duo are said to have known each other since Maxwell was at university in the UK, before she introduced the Duke to Epstein later down the line.
> He and colleagues were asked not to record Maxwell’s name in the visitor logs, a ‘highly unusual’ decision, Mr Page said.
> ‘She had access like no other individual outside the Royal Family. She was on another level,’ he said.
> Had she been denied entry, staff would be ‘screamed and shouted at’ by the Prince
Maybe they’re trying to make the case that Andrew was innocently caught up in the Epstein matter because of infatuation with Ghislaine? They have to explain the Virginia Roberts Guiffre payoff then.
Did the visits stop when she turned 16?
Sleaze government backed up by a sleaze royal family.
She’s not the first paedo with crazy amounts of access to the royals.

I understand the urge to lay into Maxwell and Andrew.
But at the time they were not under investigation and were friends.
It’s his choice who he invited home, and how often, don’t you think?
