Prince Andrew wasn't only pals with Jeffrey Epstein - Wonderwall.com can reveal he also brazenly invited the convicted predator into the most royal circle of all. On June 22, 2000, the Duke of York, then 40, hosted Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, in the sacred space of the Royal Box at Ascot on Ladies' Day. It was the same day Queen Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother were in attendance at the event - one of the late monarch's most cherished fixtures of the year.
