Lady Victoria Hervey's Controversial Epstein Files Remark Stuns LBC Presenter
Lady Victoria Hervey, the former partner of Prince Andrew, has left an LBC presenter utterly astonished with a brazen comment concerning the recently unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents. The 49-year-old socialite, who dated the disgraced royal in the late 1990s, made the shocking assertion during an interview with Tom Swarbrick on LBC.
'Losers' Not in Epstein Files, Claims Hervey
While many individuals express grave concerns or attempt to distance themselves from the Epstein files, Lady Hervey casually admitted her own inclusion. In a jaw-dropping statement, she declared that people were effectively 'losers' if their names did not appear in the documents. She elaborated to a stunned Swarbrick, '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.'
When Swarbrick sought clarification, asking, 'Right, so the people who aren't in the files are losers?' Hervey laughed and confirmed, 'Yes!' She further explained her presence in the files was due to journalists writing about the scandal, a point Swarbrick found 'astonishing' and 'jaw-dropping'.
Prince Andrew's Extensive Mention in Released Documents
The files, released by the US Department of Justice, pertain to the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and have thrust Prince Andrew back into the spotlight. Andrew's name appears a staggering 173 times within the documents. Recently released images depict the former prince kneeling over a woman, whose face is redacted, with his hand on her stomach. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing and all allegations made against him.
Pressure is mounting for Andrew to provide testimony in the United States regarding his connections to Epstein. The documents also reveal a controversial invitation extended to Epstein by Sarah Ferguson, Andrew's ex-wife. Shortly after Epstein's release from prison for child sex offences, Ferguson, on behalf of herself and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, invited him to Andrew's 50th birthday party at St James's Palace in February 2010. Epstein did not attend the event.
The invitation, which described the occasion as involving 'mysterious mischief', has raised further questions about the royal family's associations. This occurred merely a year after Epstein completed a jail sentence for soliciting prostitution of a minor.
