PRINCE ANDREW could be called into give evidence against Ghislaine Maxwell, according to US lawyer Lisa Bloom.

British socialite Maxwell was denied bail on Tuesday, and was reportedly in tears as she fears spending the rest of her life in jail following sex trafficking charges.

Yet, the Queen’s son could be forced to speak as part of the case.

Lisa Bloom said on Lorraine: “Certainly he could, he is not above the law, no one is above the law.

“People from the US testify in cases in the UK and vice versa all the time.

“He previously said, ‘I wasn’t all that close with Jeffrey Epstein, really my friend was Ghislaine Maxwell,’ well she is the one front and centre now, so all the more reason for him to talk to the investigators.”

Judge Nathan set a trial date for July 12 2021, and the government proposed blocking out three weeks for the trial.

The British socialite, 58, has been charged with six counts of sex trafficking and perjury in relation to her relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
