BILL Clinton and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were “like brothers” and “loved” socialising with Prince Andrew, the royal’s former girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey has claimed.
During the ex-President’s first three years in office, records show the disgraced financier visited the White House at least 17 times while Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times.
Prince Andrew‘s ex-girlfriend Lady Victoria, 44 – who first met Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell 20 years ago – has now given an insight into the pair’s friendship, claiming they were “super close” and acted “like brothers”.
Speaking on ITV’s documentary Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile, the socialite said: “Clinton was definitely very close to Jeffrey.
“I don’t know if you saw the paintings that were in Jeffrey Epstein’s house? One of them being a portrait of Bill Clinton wearing the dress that Monica Lewinsky wore when they had the affair.
“So yeah, he was super close to Jeffrey Epstein. They were like brothers, you know, and he was close to Ghislaine as well.”
According to a new report, lawyers for paedo Epstein tried to cover up his links to former US President Clinton when his wife Hillary was running for the Oval Office in 2016.
Clinton has always denied being close with Epstein or having any knowledge of his crimes.
But Epstein’s notorious “little black book” of contacts contained no fewer than 21 telephone numbers for Clinton and several email addresses.
And in the documentary, Lady Victoria – who socialised with Epstein, Maxwell and Andrew in the early 2000s – also claimed Epstein and Clinton were pally with Prince Andrew as they “loved” that he is the Queen’s son.

When questioned by presenter Ranvir Singh about why she thought they liked being around the Duke of York, Lady Victoria said: “Prince Andrew was the son of the Queen of England. Americans love that. Jeffery loved that. Bill Clinton loved that.”
Andrew’s spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by The Celeb Report Online.
Meanwhile, Ranvir was captured calling Andrew’s phone number after finding it in Epstein’s infamous “black book”. He was listed in the document several times, with 16 numbers in total next to his name.
It comes as Andrew faces scrutiny over his relationship with Maxwell and the tangled web connecting the Duke to Epstein’s shady world.
Furious viewers blasted Andrew after his close friendship with Maxwell was exposed in the bombshell ITV documentary – as it was revealed she used to visit the embattled royal several times a day and was free to come and go as she pleased.
A pal has even claimed Andrew may have dated Maxwell as the pair were said to have had an “easy warmth” around each other.
New York-based Brit investment banker Euan Rellie suspected the pair “had probably been girlfriend and boyfriend” in the past.
After the new doc aired on Tuesday evening, Andrew’s Twitter account appeared to have been quietly deleted.
ROYAL HEADACHE
The Duke of York – who has now lost his royal and military titles – is fighting a sex abuse case filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre as a “private citizen”.
Virginia claims she was enticed by the Duke of York’s pal Maxwell and lured into paedo Epstein’s sick sexual pyramid scheme.
She alleges she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three occasions – in London, New York and on Epstein’s island Little St James.
But Andrew has always vehemently denied all allegations.
Last month, Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking and grooming girls for Epstein to abuse.
The 60-year-old was accused of “serving up” girls for the multi-millionaire, her former lover, with the pair described as “partners in crime”.
Maxwell showed little emotion as a jury of six women and six men convicted her on five out of six counts of grooming girls for Epstein’s paedophile ring.
She now faces spending the rest of her life behind bars – with a likelihood of up to 65 years in prison.
Epstein was found dead in prison in 2019. He was being held without bail on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.
