Epstein's pedo island masseuse recalls Prince Andrew joking about mosquito bite on 'royal a**' during massage

A retired masseuse has reportedly claimed she gave a number of massages -- all of a non-sexual nature -- to Prince Andrew during her time working on Jeffrey Epstein’s Little St. James island in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Heidi Windel, who is now 75, also recalled an episode when a thrill-seeking Ghislaine Maxwell had barely managed to land a helicopter on the Caribbean island despite having no pilot's license. During an interview with journalist Graydon Carter’s digital newsweekly, Air Mail, published Saturday morning, Windel said she "could see the whites" of the eyes of those who watched Maxwell fly the chopper.

The former masseuse remembered how Prince Andrew once quipped about a mosquito bite he'd received on his "royal arse" during one of the massage sessions. “When the massage was over he got very chatty and had me in stitches talking about the errant mosquito that had evaded its net the night before and bitten his ‘royal arse,’” Windel told the publication.

According to Windel, Epstein's madam and alleged enabler Maxwell carried herself with an air of invincibility and was always on the island with the billionaire pedophile. She told Air Mail how she once watched on nervously as Maxwell piloted a helicopter on the island without a license. “I’m watching in absolute horror a helicopter coming in from Tortola flying incredibly low — they’re not supposed to fly that low!” Windel said.

“I was waiting for the helicopter to graze the tops of the many sailboats anchored in St. Thomas’s Christmas Cove,” she continued, adding that the helicopter was endangering the boats as it wobbled barely “40 feet from their [mast]heads.”

After landing the chopper on the Little St. James helipad, the British media heiress disembarked from the cockpit in splits. “She popped out and came bopping up the road, giggling, and commenting on her navigation skills," Windell recalled. “At that point, I lost it. I was so angry, I let her have it with both barrels.”

58-year-old Maxwell continues to be held without bail or bond at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, facing charges that she conspired with Epstein and procured women, often underage, for him to sexually abuse. Speculation was rife of underage girls on the hedge fund honcho's notorious Caribbean getaway, according to Windel, who told Air Mail she somehow evaded signing an NDA. Epstein, who died under extremely suspicious circumstances in prison last summer, was accused of forcing young women, often underage, into participating in sex orgies at the US Virgin Islands property.

The pedophile financier would allegedly host his famous and notable friends on the island on a number of occasions, including Prince Andrew. The royal, however, has denied the claim outright. Epstein has also flown some of the most powerful people to the island on his private jet, including former President Bill Clinton. One of the planes was dubbed the "Lolita Express" after the young unsuspecting women who were often aboard. Another plane of Epstein's is now on the market for sale for a reported $16.9 million. Yesterday, it emerged that real-estate mogul Donald Trump joked to reporters in 2015 that they should ask Prince Andrew what went on at the "absolute cesspool" of an island, saying "he'll tell you all about it."
