Aristocrat wife’s 32 f lights on the ‘Lolita Express’

THE wife of an aristocrat whose family are worth £900 million flew more than 30 times on Jeffrey Epstein ‘ Lolita Express’ private jet, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Clare Hazell, left, took 32 flights on the Boeing 727 between 1998 and 2000, including trips to the paedophile’s luxury homes in New York, Florida, the Caribbean and New Mexico between 1998 and 2000.

She became the Countess of Iveagh in 2001 when she married Edward Guinness, 4th Earl of Iveagh and a member of the famous brewing dynasty. Her contact details were listed in Epstein’s infamous ‘little black book’ under her marr i e d n a me, Cl a r e Hazell-Iveagh. According to flight logs, Epstein accompanied her on all but one of the trips. Ghislaine Maxwell, t he s oci al i t e f r i end of t he shamed US financier, was also a passenger on some of the flights. While there is no suggestion t hat t he Countess was involved in, or had any knowledge of, any criminal activity or wrongdoing, lawyers for some of Epstein’s victims are understood to have approached her as a possible witness.

In an interview, Maria F a r mer, 5 0 , who wa s employed and then abused by Epstein, recalled meeting the future countess, saying: ‘She liked having nice drinks, piles of cash and nice outfits.’

Epstein used his jet to ferry a host of famous people – including former US President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey and Prince Andrew– around the globe.

The Countess did not respond to requests for comment.
