In the wake of her 2021 conviction for sex-trafficking and related charges, Maxwell has repeatedly denied wrongdoing — including rejecting allegations linking her to certain abuses. For example, in interviews and during recent meetings with investigators she has dismissed claims of sexual encounters involving Prince Andrew and one of her accusers as “fabricated.” Most notably, she described a notorious photo said to show Andrew with the accuser as “a fake,” claimed she never introduced Andrew to her former associate Jeffrey Epstein, and argued certain alleged crimes “could not have happened.” These denials, and her continued refusal to accept guilty responsibility, make clear that she has not publicly acknowledged remorse for the trafficking, exploitation, and suffering tied to her conviction.
Yet in her first in-prison interview since the verdict, Maxwell expressed that she “felt so bad” for Prince Andrew, calling him a “dear friend” she cares about — even while acknowledging that their connection “could not survive” after her conviction. She spoke of him as “paying such a price for the association,” portraying him as someone suffering consequences because of his ties to her and Epstein. Her sympathy for Andrew — while simultaneously rejecting responsibility for her own role — sent a jarring message: she was willing to voice pity for a powerful man whose public standing was damaged, but not willing to extend empathy or accountability to the victims of her crimes.
