Both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were at Royal Lodge for Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday
Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein were all hosted at Royal Lodge by Prince Andrew, it has been revealed.
The 30-bedroom mansion has been at the centre of headlines surrounding Andrew and Sarah Ferguson recently, after it was discovered the third-born son of Queen Elizabeth II and the late Duke of Edinburgh had been paying “peppercorn rent” since moving into the lodge in 2003.
Sarah and Andrew have both relinquished their titles in recent weeks following backlash over their respective alleged links with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, it has been reported Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein all attended the 18th birthday party of Princess Beatrice in 2003.

This occurred two months after a US arrest warrant for Epstein had been issued regarding the sexual assault of a minor, the Express said.
It is understood the trio visited the Royal Lodge ahead of the party, with the lavish event itself taking place in the state rooms of Windsor Castle and involved a champagne reception and banquet.
During Andrew’s memorable 2019 Newsnight interview he was asked about the invitation.

He said: “Certainly I wasn’t aware when the invitation was issued what was going on in the United States and I wasn’t aware until the media picked up on it because he never said anything about it.”
Andrew and Sarah have since faced calls to move out of Royal Lodge, with it claimed the pair are now requesting two houses in exchange for leaving the property.
The prince is said to be asking for Harry and Meghan’s ex-residence, Frogmore Cottage, while Sarah is allegedly looking to move in to Adelaide Cottage after the future King and Queen move out next month.
