PRINCE Andrew’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell is a foreign intelligence “asset” who is currently hiding in an Israeli safe house, it has been claimed.
The British socialite, who has been accused of being Jeffrey Epstein’s “madam”, is alleged to be being hidden from the FBI as it continues to investigate her friendship with the late US paedophile.
Maxwell, 58, has long been rumoured to have acted with intelligence agencies as she has held information on the world’s rich and famous.
A source claimed: “Ghislaine is protected.
“She and Jeffrey were assets of sorts for multiple foreign governments.”

SNOWFLAKE golfers are ditching wet and windy courses to play 18 holes on simulators in the comfort of their own houses.
The new breed of players are forking out up to £40,000 on the machines.
And they can create a perfect set of holes from around the world on software that lets them design a “fantasy course”.
Golf Tech Systems, of Oxfordshire, has seen sales soar in the past two years.
Boss Steve Webb said: “When we first started selling entry-level systems in 2011, they were like a Nintendo on steroids.
“But now these systems are so good that club professionals use them.” He added: “There’s a new generation of golfers who like customising and creating their own set-ups.
“They have spawned a new type of player who considers playing outdoors secondary and instead prefers to have friends over to play a round over a few beers.”
Golfer John Quinn, 64, of Hamble, Hants, who has treated himself to a £25,000 simulator at home, said: “It’s not fun playing if the rain is lashing down in your face and it is minus 2C.”
