A BRIDESMAID for Princess Diana has said she made a “lucky escape” after being a guest on Jeffrey Epstein’s “paedo island”.
Clemmie Hambro took two flights on the disgraced paedo’s jet – but claimed she did not suffer or witness any abuse at the hands of the financier.
According to the Daily Mail, Miss Hambro was left “completely horrified” by the revelations of Epstein’s conduct, and said her “heart breaks for all the survivors”.
Clemmie Hambro was Princess Diana’s youngest bridesmaid at her wedding with Prince Charles in July 1981.
Flight logs seen by the Mail show that she flew on Epstein’s jet after visiting his ranch in New Mexico and his Little St James island, known to locals as “Paedo island”.
Epstein’s island of Little St James lies between St Thomas and St John, two of the largest islands of the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
The 78-acre island was bought by Epstein in 1998 for an estimated $7.95million and was owned by Epstein until his death in 2019.
Miss Hambro’s first flight, from Epstein’s “New Zorro” ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico to Teterboro airport in New York, was taken on February 21, 1999 with two other women as well as Epstein himself.
‘WORK TRIP’
She said the New Mexico trip was a “work trip” to help the financier decide which art to buy for the ranch.
The second trip, meanwhile, took place on March 21 when she flew from St Thomas – used by Epstein to reach Little St James island- to Teterboro airport.
She said this trip was a “personal invitation”, adding that she “didn’t know anyone there and “didn’t really enjoy myself”.
According to the records, Epstein was present on both flights.
I was young and naive, and could not conceive of what was to unfold

Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is awaiting trial for allegedly aiding Epstein’s abuse, was also present for one of the trips.
The now married mum-of-four was a 23-year old employee at Christie’s auction house in New York when she made the trips in 1999.
Miss Hambro’s contact details were also listed in Epstein’s infamous “Little Black Book”, according to the Mail.
A statement from Miss Hambro read: “The second trip, to Little St James, was a personal invitation, which I thought would be fun to accept, but I didn’t know anyone there, didn’t really enjoy myself, and never went back. My heart breaks for all the survivors, now I know what happened on that island.
“In the course of those two trips, I was not abused, nor did I see anyone abused, or anything untoward happen, with minors or otherwise. I have been completely horrified about the revelations of his conduct since then. I was clearly very lucky, my heart goes out to those who were abused by him, and I trust they get the justice they so deserve.”
She added: “I was young and naive, and could not conceive of what was to unfold.”
Epstein bought the island of Little St James more than two decades ago, transforming it into a high-security private oasis.
The 78-acre island was bought by Epstein in 1998 for an estimated $7.95million and was owned by Epstein until his death in 2019.
Court papers allege that “prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well known prime minister and other world leaders” have visited the island before.
It is alleged that the American lawyer and academic Alan Dershowitz was seen on the island – a claim he has repeatedly denied.
