"A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day from the morning till the evening – she kept coming in and out, in and out…"The Duke of York's legal tensions have mounted following the December conviction of Maxwell, who was found guilty of five of six sex-trafficking charges brought against her.On Friday, Queen Elizabeth II held a personal meeting with her son to notify him that he will be stripped of his royal patronages and military titles as a result of the sexual-assault lawsuit brought against him by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, forcing him to defend himself as a private citizen.The palace's decision came one day after a federal judge in New York denied an attempt by Prince Andrew to dismiss the lawsuit.
