A masseuse claims she performed non-sexual massages on Britain’s Prince Andrew at the late Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean hideaway.
Heidi Windel, who said she worked for Epstein as a masseuse, said Andrew had her in tears from laughing about a mosquito that had bit his rear end.
“When the massage was over, he got very chatty and had me in stitches talking about the errant mosquito that had evaded its net the night before and bitten his ‘royal arse,’” Windel told Air Mail.
Andrew, who is being sought after by the Southern District of New York for testimony as part of its investigation into Epstein, has denied allegations that he slept with underage women procured by Epstein via his right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Windel, now 75, also dished on Maxwell, saying she was always on Epstein’s Little Saint James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands and carried herself around the property with “an air of invincibility.”
Windel recounted a day when she witnessed Maxwell struggling to control a helicopter on the island.
“I’m watching in absolute horror a helicopter coming in from Tortola flying incredibly low — they’re not supposed to fly that low!” Windel said. “I was waiting for the helicopter to graze the tops of the many sailboats anchored in St. Thomas’s Christmas Cove.”
Windel, who claims she walked away from Epstein without having to sign a non-disclosure agreement, said she flew into a rage and told Maxwell she had almost killed people boating on the ocean below.
Maxwell, 58, was arrested this month on charges of conspiring with Epstein to recruit, groom, and sexually abuse underage girls as well as perjury in depositions. Maxwell pleaded not guilty last week and was denied bail by a judge. Her trial date has been set for July 2021.
Epstein, a 66-year-old wealthy financier and convicted sex offender, was arrested last July on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges for allegedly abusing girls as young as 14. He was found dead in his Manhattan prison cell in August 2019, which the New York City medical examiner determined to be a suicide.
