Ghislaine is the key link - her father was Robert Maxwell who was a key member of the British establishment and owned a significant part of the UK media. She probably had a fair degree of access to the Royals. I see Epstein as a more peripheral figure in whatever exactly was going on here - someone who was expendable.
With the queen herself? Probably not - I give it a 15% chance. Hanging out at Balmoral - which is a huge estate used by the entire Royal Family and many of the queens distant relatives in the nobility? I can see Ghislaine having visited there several times - probably her first as a young girl with her father. Its probably how she first came to know Prince Andrew. I can see them having gotten permission to visit on a weekend or visiting Andrew or some of the other obscure royals there with Epstein.
From what I understand the queen was quite particular about her private company when not on duty. I really don't see Epstein as someone she would spend time with. The queens favourite Primeministers for example were Harold Wilson and John Major because they were very different characters from those she was used to meeting. Her favourite family members were apparently Zara Tindal and Sophie the countess of Wessex.
Someone who I do wonder might have spent time with Epstein - the Duke of Edinburgh. Before him - probably before Ghislaine was born my guess is Lord Mountbatten was familiar with Robert Maxwell. There are a lot of stories about Lord Mountbatten being a sexual deviant - he was Charles favourite uncle. He was also the Royal Families "patriarch" to some extent when George VI died. When Mountbatten was assassinated the Duke of Edinburgh took over as family patriarch. If Diana was assassinated or was going to be for whatever exact reason it would have been him who gave the order.
I want to know this too

Thank you for your response. Although it really kind of makes me sick to my stomach. Have a good day, fren!
