One month later on August 10, his body was found in his New York jail cell and his death was ruled as a suicide. On July 7 last year the already-convicted sex offender was arrested at a New Jersey airport after landing in his private jet from Paris and charged with new sex-trafficking offences. Picture: NY PostĪnd now we have had another significant if starkly different anniversary: The arrest of Jeffrey Epstein. New York Post front page shows Ghislaine Maxwell and Kevin Spacey at Buckingham Palace. Then on Saturday, the public in the UK woke to a truly alarming image, namely a photo taken in 2002 showing a giddy-looking Ghislaine Maxwell and disgraced actor Kevin Spacey lounging on the Queen and Prince Philip’s thrones, a shot taken during a Buckingham Palace tour organised by Andrew. Hot on the heels of that particular bombshell came news from the US that Ghislaine Maxwell had been arrested and charged with six federal crimes, including alleged enticement of minors, sex trafficking, and perjury, plunging the embattled Prince Andrew and his mortifying friendship with a convicted sex offender back into the headlines. Last week, in court documents filed as part of Meghan’s privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail’s parent company, she claimed she was left “undefended by the institution” while pregnant and that she had been “prohibited from defending herself” against negative false press coverage. One year on from Archie’s christening, relations between Harry and Meghan and the Queen remain a hotly debated topic. For one thing, the small handful of carefully selected press who are usually present for the family walking to and from the service were barred.Īnd for another, the Queen was not present. However, unlike other royal christenings, little Archie’s was a source of some controversy and debate. The most recent tiny wee Windsor to undergo this treatment was Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Monday marked the first anniversary of his font dunking. Still, royal christenings are by and large deeply symbolic affairs which see the Lily Font and the replica Honiton christening gown hauled out of the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace attic for a tradition-laden outing. (Perhaps things might have been different if Princess Margaret was still alive …) There seems to be a lot of very cordial standing around with a certain forced solemnity and the possibility of getting a glass of champagne at the end of it all seems minimal. Of all the royal engagements a person could be invited to, a christening must be by far the dullest.
