14. Katherine Keating is connected to Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell too

Sydney Morning Herald, August 23, 2019:

Katherine was revealed as the "mystery brunette" bidding farewell to the Duke of York, Prince Andrew in 2010 outside the front door of Epstein's New York home.

While there is no suggestion she was involved in Epstein's criminal activities, why a woman, then aged in her mid-20s, was visiting the Duke of York at the home of a renowned child sex offender - who at that point had recently finished serving a 13-month prison sentence for procuring an underage girl for sex - remains unanswered.
...
Following that relationship, Keating started dating Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini, the son of the late Vogue Italia editor-and-chief Franca Sozzani. The Carrozzinis are fabulously wealthy and well-connected in their own right. Francesco is listed as Keating's co-executive producer on a glowing 2014 Huffington Post interview she did with Epstein's former lover Ghislaine Maxwell.
...
She and Keating had clearly grown close, with Keating among intimate groups invited to cocktail parties at Maxwell's New York home, by which point Keating was firmly in Epstein's personal orbit.

The "glowing" interview - "brownnosing" is more accurate:

Ghislaine Maxwell is a British philanthropist and the founder of the TerraMar Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a global community that will advocate for the world's oceans and high seas. ...

It's all like that. Talk about greenwashing. Never heard of "TerraMar"? It seems to have been a sham:

Tax documents for US organization the TerraMar Project consistently list Ghislaine Maxwell as the organization's President. The TerraMar Project's address was in New York City for Form 990 tax filings from 2012 through 2015, with later filings showing a Woburn, Massachusetts address for 2016 and 2017.[11] The New York Times reported that TerraMar gave out no money in grants between 2012 and 2017 and that it was described as having unusually high accounting and legal fees for an organization of its size.[8]

Questions were also raised about what TerraMar entailed beyond the high profile appearance by Maxwell at the United Nations and on the TED stage.[9] In 2017, an executive at a maritime firm made multiple requests for project funding to TerraMar's development director Brian Yuratsis that were ultimately denied despite Yuratsis professing interest in having TerraMar sponsor the project.[9][12][13] The maritime executive who made the requests stated that "My impression was that TerraMar as a whole was pretty hollow", and that "It seemed like Brian was the entire organization."[9]
