Andrew Windsor’s ex-girlfriend claims Jeffrey Epstein is alive and insists ‘he’s in Israel’

Lady Victoria Hervey, the ex-girlfriend of Prince Andrew, has claimed that Jeffrey Epstein is not dead and that he was involved in an elaborate plot to escape prison

Andrew Windsor’s former flame has made the extraordinary claim that Jeffrey Epstein is still breathing, suggesting the disgraced financier orchestrated an elaborate scheme to break free from jail and scarper to another nation.

Lady Victoria Hervey has maintained that Epstein could remain alive and kicking after being swapped out via a “trip van”. During a chat with LBC’s Tom Swarbrick, Andrew’s ex dropped the bombshell revelation completely out of nowhere.

Lady Hervey declared: “I don’t even think Jeffrey Epstein’s dead anymore, to be honest.”

When challenged on her startling claim, she maintained she didn’t buy into the official story that he had taken his own life, instead suggesting he had done a runner to Israel, reports the Express. Epstein’s demise in 2019 and the baffling events that followed have remained fertile ground for online conspiracy theorists.

Prison officers claimed they discovered Epstein lifeless in his cell at 6:30am. at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York City, suspended from the side of his bunk whilst awaiting trial on sex trafficking allegations.

Almost instantly, whispers of a cover-up sparked widespread doubt; nevertheless, Attorney General William Barr branded Epstein’s death as “a perfect storm of screw-ups”, leading to several senior prison officials getting the chop.

Numerous online conspiracy theories trace back to an anonymous posting on 4Chan prior to Epstein’s death being made public.

The individual – purporting to be a prison officer – claimed the corpses were swapped and that Epstein had been whisked away in a “trip van”. While the theory lingered on the outskirts for the past six years, the release of the vast Epstein files seemed to validate the idea that the poster was indeed a guard.

Lady Hervey took note of one particular email, stating: “I think, just, I’d seen one of those emails, one of the ones that ended up in the files, and I think that the prison guard needs to be interviewed. The one that said he saw the bodies being switched out.”

She then reiterated her belief that Epstein could be hiding out in Israel.

Lady Hervey herself is mentioned 23 times in the Epstein files, a fact she wears as a badge of honour, branding anyone not featured in the files as a “bit of a loser”.

Lady Hervey continued: “He knew everybody that was very powerful. So, like, if you were on the scene and you were powerful, to be honest, if you’re not in those files, it would be an insult because it just means that you were a bit of a loser.”
