Lady Victoria Hervey has revealed how she once left Jeffrey Epstein’s New York apartment because she was being ‘watched by hidden cameras’.
The aristocrat, who once dated Prince Andrew, claimed she was offered a place to stay by the convicted paedophile but ‘cut the trip short as I felt I was being watched’.
Lady Hervey met Epstein through his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who suggested staying at the apartment after she was offered modelling work abroad.
The flat was ‘close’ to Epstein’s Manhattan mansion where Prince Andrew stayed and where it is alleged that the disgraced tycoon sex trafficked numerous underage girls.
She revealed how she was pulled into the disgraced pair’s exclusive inner circle after briefly dating their mutual friend, the Duke of York, in 1999.

The burgeoning friendship even saw Lady Hervey invited to an intimate dinner of 14 people hosted by Epstein, including guests such as Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew.
A year later, she stayed by herself at one of Epstein’s luxury Manhattan flats at the behest of Maxwell while pursuing her modelling and fashion career.
At the time she was unaware of his predilection for young girls but said she still found the experience ‘uncomfortable’ amid concerns she was being spied on.
She denied suggestions that she was ‘too old’ at 23 to be a victim of Epstein, instead claiming that her ex-boyfriend’s friendship with Maxwell may have ‘protected’ her.
Speaking to Good Morning Britain today, she said: ‘I actually didn’t come across any of the other girls staying at the apartments but I felt uncomfortable staying there.
‘I cut my trip short and felt I was being watched, there were hidden cameras and I left after about 10 days and moved in with a friend of mine.

‘But even before I knew anything that’s come since out, I felt it.’
The former ‘it girl’ was opened up on her friendship with Maxwell, claiming she had not seen her in over a year and doubted she would ever be seen in public again.
She said: ‘I haven’t seen her since September last year at a friend’s baby shower. I don’t think anyone is going to find her.
‘She’s gone far away. She’s a bit like a James Bond character. She’s quite a unique person and I don’t believe anyone is going to find her.
‘I don’t think we will ever see her again, it’s going to be like Robert Maxwell continued; she will continue that family mystery.’
