WORLD EXCLUSIVE – Ghislaine Maxwell’s Belgravia bonk pad – where Prince Andrew allegedly shockingly had it off with Virginia Roberts in the bath in 2001 – is relisted for £2.6 million just months after it sold for £1.75 million in April 2021; we share the first ever seen photos of that famous tub and ask: “Does its presence add value?”
Everybody in the world has now seen the infamous snapshot of Prince Andrew with his chubby fingers wrapped around the waist of his alleged victim Virginia Roberts at the Belgravia home of Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001. Nobody has ever discredited that photograph and nobody has proven that the bathtub in the bathroom that adjoined the first floor landing where they were snapped was anything other than a full-sized 5-foot-6-inches long.
Everyone in the world has also seen the floorplan of the first floor of Miss Maxwell’s former London home, but now, today, The Steeple Times can exclusively share an image of that very bathtub in which the lady now known as Virginia Giuffre claims the Duke of York supposedly had sexual relations with her on 10th March 2001. That still unrenovated home, 44 Kinnerton Street, is now on the market for the sum of £2.6 million – a sum £850,000 higher than it sold for less than a year ago.
Whilst everybody in the world now knows that the now convicted mucky madam daughter of the pension pot plunderer Robert Maxwell faked a photo of herself at an In-N-Out burger joint in August 2019, photographs of the now somewhat tired bathroom in London, SW1 prove it to be a space where two people could easily have cavorted. In sharing them, they show Prince Andrew’s porky pies for exactly what they are. Two people could very easily have fitted into that rotten tub.
Offered by an exotically named firm of real estate hawkers who go by the name of Wellbelove Quested, the 1,573 square foot, three-storey former home of the mucky madam Miss Maxwell is marketed as “charming” and having “plenty of potential.” It is described as “requiring updating,” but unsurprisingly no mention is made as to its tawdry past. A photograph of the very bath where ‘Randy Andy’ allegedly bonked on that fateful night bizarrely features in the marketing material, but somewhat more carefully imagery of the landing area has been left out.
Asked by The Steeple Times for comment, a leading local estate agent – whom wished to remain off the record – remarked:
“Any previous sale at either £1.45 million or £1.75 million seems suspiciously low. At £1,653 per square foot today, it sounds about right in terms of an asking price, although some buyers might be deterred by The Nags Head being so close.”
“As for the activity that may have gone on inside there, I am of the view it adds a bit of interest to the marketing, but neither adds to nor detracts from the value.”
“Equally, now I see these pictures, it looks to me that Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Roberts were all standing in the doorway of the front bedroom of the first floor that day. It begs the question: ‘Why?’”
Contacted earlier in the day by a reader of The Steeple Times who alerted us to the sale subsequently, Andrew Quested of Wellbelove Quested somewhat lackadaisically opined in response via email:
“My clients made a good purchase. I think you will find a lot of properties have a past resident that is not always good… I do understand your thoughts [about the links to Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and the Duke of York], but these things pass.”
Occasional contributor to The Steeple Times Jack Hine, however, took a different view. When approached Friday, the Hove, Sussex and Belgravia, London based dealer in vintage memorabilia stated:
“That bath, whatever it’s murky heritage, has royal pedigree and it’s got a grimy, unrestored appearance. ‘Where there’s muck, there’s bloody brass,’ I say.”
“There’s always going to be ghouls out there with a desire for such, so I advise whoever buys 44 Kinnerton Street to most certainly not to put what could become one of the most costly bathtubs in history ever in the skip.”
“Prince Andrew’s antics in this tub may well cost him well north of £10 million and I’d suggest that the new owner of this house will get tens of thousands for that tawdry tub. I’d definitely put in a bid.”

And finally… Some other images of the ‘Mucky Madam’s’ crib
Terrific I’ve wanted to see the place!! No, not cozy in the least. Looks airless in those rooms. Makes one want to cross the street to the exhausting clutter of the Nags Head..and drink and stay late..oh, but that nice big tub is perfect for a willowy teenage girl and a plump prince to get to know one another …she said he politely thanked her for the lovely time. YIKES.
I don’t think this is the same property as this belongs to a German family Schneidelbaum who are from Stuttgart near where I live. I suspect you have the wrong property
Clearly, you have not read the article. The building was confirmed to be 44 Kinnerton Street by the estate currently marketing it.
You ignore the floor plan you pillock. You ignore the address. You ignore the estate agent Andrew Quested. Are you thick or just a Ghislaine Maxwell, Brian Basham and Jay Beecher plant?
Deranged bloke with dodgy name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are not someone I’d want to share a Castlemaine tinny with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT come Down Under!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need locking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are mistaken. You have the wrong address. I suggest you speak to the Germans who own the property. They will confirm this. I often think you may jump into articles without establishing the correct facts
You clearly do not understand the facts of the matter. The house for sale was the one-time home of Ghislaine Maxwell and this was confirmed by the estate agent currently selling it: 44 Kinnerton Street. Do keep up.
And what does cheynecapital.com, your email domain have in this game? Why are you so keen to attack our articles, Mr von Mossop?
This methinks, is Otto Von Fergie trying to discredit your article Matthew, what an idiot.
I will be calling Cheyne Capital too. There is no evidence on their website of this man. He is playing games. Is this Jay Beecher? Is this Brian Basham? Is this Ross Gow? Which one of you is it? Come out, come out from wherever you are hiding.
Otto von dodgy bloke —— You clearly have never learnt to read!
Otto – Are you really thick or are you just a mate of Randy Andy?
Brilliant work by Steeple Times!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT send this filthy bint Maxwell Down Under!!!!!!!!! We do not need her or scum like her!!!!!!!!!!!! As for this house, burn it to the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only way to rid the nation of this stain on humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT save the bath either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Burn, baby, burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s the wrong house you will be burning
I suggest you may be wise to go and see the house and you will see with your own eyes it belongs to a family who have the largest bakery business in Stuttgart.
Journalism doesn’t work when you make mistakes with your fact checking
Do you deny that Ghislaine Maxwell owned 44 Kinnerton Street between 1997 and 2021?
Check with the estate agent. You will find I am correct. It’s owned by the same family since 2003; the Schneidelbaums. I know this as I’ve stayed in the house
Did you have sex in the very same bathtub Otto von Bonkshit or did you head down Mossop Street and do some shagging in the loos at The Admiral Cod? You are clearly a twat.
Now the plot thickens.
Pray tell Otto Von Fergie
I would love to know when you stayed
there, and under what circumstances.
You will be telling us next that your a close
friend of plain citizen, Randy Andy, and he’s
Just a misunderstood, non sweating pizza lover.
Let’s have some actual facts from you, instead of just inuendo.
And journalism also doesn’t work when you try and discredit the facts, that are plainly there for everybody to see, even a moron like you.
That is not a nice way to talk about a fellow subscriber. I am just pointing out the facts
You talk crap. I shall be calling Cheyne Capital on Monday morning to enquire as to whether you work there. You are most likely Jay Beecher or another bogtrotter. Now bog off.
I am only pointing out facts. Your ignorance is there for all to see. You are all such a lynch mob of fascists
As a longstanding supporter of this esteemed publication, how very dare you Otto Von Mossop. You are a newbie here and I’ve never noticed you until the Ghislaine Maxwell stories popped up. You are not one of us and you are not welcome. Go away.
I have come to the view reading these comments that if somebody said to Otto that something was blue, he would insist that it was red. If others confirmed that it was blue, he’d say that it was red. Otto is somebody who just does not listen to reason. There is no point debating with him as he is obstinate and clearly incapable of accepting a clear truth.
I will be report you to the Press Complaints Commision, you are misleading the readers.
I agree with you Otto, it doesn’t look to me to be the same house as didn’t she have a red front door. This is the issue with the press. They never get anything right, the Daily Mail has it right and they never published this …….
Oh dear, oh dear. Mr Von Mossop or whatever he is called is now using multiple pseudonyms to post comments to support his fallacy.
If you want to do such whatever you are called (Otto Vom Mossop / Hamish Bassington-Bosworth / Swami Nemi Chandra Jain / associate of the Maxwells), you might try doing it from different IP addresses.
The one you are using, 213.205.240.147, for the Von Mossop, Chandra Jain and Bassington-Bosworth identities has been noted.
Ive no idea who Otto is but he makes some excellent points. A good press proprietor knows when to admit his errors. I suggest you start to pen a retraction. If not this publication is nothing more than a twitter feed
I regularly eat at Salloos on the corner. Best lamb chops in London ! I will ask them next time I’m in there as they know everything going on in the area
Von Mossop is a definitely a troll. Probably a mate of mucky madam Maxwell or one her PR peddlers.
Von Mossop probably actually lives in Peterborough on an estate full of houses that look like those on Brookside Close. He probably isn’t actually an employee of Cheyne Capital at all. The public should be told his real name.
My real name is Otto Von Mossop. Are you now being rascist towards my name ?
I agree Salloos is an excellent restaurant.
You must try their Curried fish too
Why are you trying to have a conversation with yourself? Do go and play with your curried fish elsewhere. Thanks.
Why are you being so nasty to your readers. It seems like you will alienate all of your support. Apologies to Otto or we will all leave and not read this anymore
You are very welcome to cease reading and commenting with your fake names. In fact, please do just such. We do not need your “support” as it amounts to zilch, zero and nothing whilst our genuine readers are wonderful and remain welcomed always.
The person posing as multiple identities thinks himself very funny. Sex trafficking of young women is not funny. Ghislaine Maxwell is not funny. None of it is funny. Prince Andrew’s alleged abuse and the confirmed abuse committed by his friends Maxwell and Epstein is not funny. Funny in the head Von Mossop or whatever his name is should stick his unfunny head up his very own arse. That might actually be funny.
There was no abuse. No rape, nothing at all. The girls were prostitutes and drug abusers and threw themselves all over these men. Then when some money seemed available they look back retrospectively and say all this nonsense. How you believe otherwise is shocking
Hartley, you should be bloody ashamed of yourself, do you think all Maxwell’s and Epstein’s victims are liars?
The whole thing goes much deeper, with many big names involved, and I don’t think all these scum bags will ever be brought to justice.
Even if some of these girls were drug abusers, as you say, does that entitle scum like Epstein to abuse them? and don’t forget they were under age. The facts remain that Maxwell recruited under age girls for Epstein’s perverted ways. Would you be saying the same thing about Saville if the girls were drug users??
If you have nothing constructive to say, bog off and read the Beano.
Same IP address as Von Mossop and the rest. Pathetic really.
The person with the fake name is trying to claim that Ghislaine Maxwell did not live in the house with the red door. Where did she live when in London then and why was she trying to call Kevin Moran of The Nags Head as a witness for her if she didn’t actually live opposite such a place. The estate agent has confirmed that the house was Maxwells, the records confirm such and nobody other than him/her is trying to claim that 44 Kinnerton Street was anything other than the Ghislaine Maxwell London home.
It is clear that this photo is of the bathroom and the fittings have not been updated so this is proof that Maxwell told lies about the tub being too small. She clearly had thought about this strategy and being a deviant like her daddy, she thought it clever to come up with this clear lie. It is ridiculous that a person/people here are trying to pretend that this isn’t what it is.
I must admit I don’t like the property at all. It lacks warmth and being cosy. Looks like your typical mews central London house. Nothing at all special. Ghastly kitchen layout. The tub also doesn’t look to small either!
