If you aren’t within the Epstein information, you’re a ‘loser’, claims Andrew Windsor’s ex

Lady Victoria Hervey has made controversial claims about the Jeffrey Epstein files in an interview, saying people not included were ‘losers’

Lady Victoria Hervey has made a bizarre assertion as her former partner, the disgraced Royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, continues to be entangled in the Jeffrey Epstein controversy. The 49-year-old socialite was romantically linked to the ex-Prince during the late 1990s.

Speaking to LBC’s Tom Swarbrick, she has revealed her thoughts on the Epstein documents. While others express alarm about the files – or attempt to separate themselves from the controversy – Lady Hervey calmly acknowledged her inclusion within them.

The documents, which have been recently disclosed by the US Department of Justice, concern the convicted paedophile Epstein. Throughout the files, Andrew’s name appears a staggering 173 times.

Two freshly released photographs show Andrew kneeling beside a fully-clothed woman whose face has been obscured. One picture depicts Andrew placing his hand on the anonymous woman’s abdomen, reports the Mirror.

In a remarkable statement, Lady Hervey has suggested that individuals were “losers” if they didn’t feature in the Epstein files. She informed the astounded host: “He [Epstein] knew everybody who was very powerful.

“So, like if you were on the scene and you were powerful, like to be honest… Like, if you’re not in those files, it would be an insult because it just means that you were a bit of a loser.”

Flabbergasted, Tom then questioned: “Right, so the people who aren’t in the files are losers?” Treating the matter light-heartedly, Victoria chuckled and responded: “Yes!” He continued to challenge her presence in the documents. She confessed: “Well, of course I am. Because it’s any journalist who wrote about it..”

Seeking clarification on her remarks, the host responded: “That’s an astonishing attitude, isn’t it? You’re the loser because you’re not in this. I find that jaw-dropping.”

Mounting pressure continues for Andrew to provide testimony in the US regarding his connections with Epstein. The disgraced Royal has repeatedly refuted any misconduct.

He has also strongly rejected all accusations levelled against him. Fresh revelations show that Epstein received an invitation to Andrew’s private 50th birthday celebration from Sarah Ferguson just after his prison release for child sex crimes.

The newly disclosed papers expose how the former spouse of the discredited ex-Duke of York dispatched an invitation to the paedophile financier in February 2010.

The invitation was issued on behalf of Sarah and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, based on files released by American investigators. The milestone celebration was scheduled to take place at St James’s Palace.

Nevertheless, Epstein failed to show up. A year before, Epstein had been freed from prison following his sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

The documents reveal the invitation stated: “Beatrice, Eugenie and I would love to invite you to celebrate the 50 years of Papa/Andrew. It will be on February 26th 2010, from 7.30pm for Drinks and for 8.30pm for Dinner, at St. James’s Palace, London. It will be suits and cocktail dresses, and you know me, mysterious mischief. so bring your presents. your presence and your humour!”.
