In her first jailhouse interview, convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell said that the controversial Prince Andrew photo in her London home is likely a "fake" and that she does not recall introducing the royalty to Virginia Giuffre.

Broadcaster Jeremy Kyle talked to Maxwell, who went to Oxford and is now serving a 20-year sentence in a federal prison in Florida for her part in Jeffrey Epstein's decade-long plan to sexually exploit and torture many young girls, as reported by Fox News.

The Prince Andrew Virginia Giuffre photo that surfaced decades ago shows Maxwell is standing next to them, and Andrew has his arm around Giuffre's waist. The photograph was supposedly shot in London in 2001. The Prince Andrew Virginia Giuffre photo turned out to be vital to the accusation against the prince, per WION.

Even though the Prince Andrew photo seems to be shot at her house and she's in it, Maxwell says it's manipulated. She remarked that she has "no recall of their meeting."

"And I don't think that picture is real, It is a fake. I don't believe it is real for a second, in fact I am sure it is not," Maxwell said, per Marca.

Maxwell Calls Prince Andrew "Dear Friend"

Teaser clips for the TalkTV special interview show Maxwell talking about Epstein while on the phone at the FTC in Tallahassee.

Maxwell said she felt "entirely divorced from the person people reference and speak about" and from all the different articles, television programs, and podcasts.

After Giuffre withdrew a second sexual abuse case against American lawyer Alan Dershowitz in November, she praised the Duke of York as a "dear friend" who must be "uplifted."

Giuffre confessed in court filings that she "may have made a mistake" in saying Dershowitz had molested her as a teenager.

The whole interview, which is being billed as "Ghislaine Behind Bars," will be broadcast Monday on Jeremy Kyle's UK TalkTV program at 7 p.m.
