Before marrying the Guinness brewery heir, she reportedly lived a dark life alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
When glamorous interior designer Clare Hazell married brewing heir Arthur Edward Guinness, the Earl of Iveagh, she triumphantly entered the higher aristocracy and ended up the custodian of one of the UK’s grandest estates.
But, as we have discussed here before, the hundreds of thousands of documents released by the US House Oversight Committee are keeping scores of journalists busy delving into the motherlode of data.
And these documents show that, in June 2020, the UK’s National Crime Agency contacted the FBI to inform them that Countess Hazell was ‘allegedly a close contact of Epstein’ and that a woman (whose identity has been redacted but widely suspected to be late Virginia Roberts Giuffre) claimed ‘she was sexually abused’ by her.
Daily Mail reported:
“A months-long investigation by The Mail on Sunday has revealed that, before meeting her future husband ‘Ned’ Guinness, the Countess was a key member of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s inner circle, flying on his private jet dubbed the ‘Lolita Express’ no less than 40 times in a four-year period.”
Giuffre’s allegation against the Countess ‘have not been investigated by the police nor tested in court’, and they will never be: both are dead.
Giuffre is said to have taken her own life in April 2025, while the Countess died two days before last Christmas, after a battle against brain cancer.
“A source told the [Mail on Sunday]: ‘While she was alive, and particularly while she was so sick, people didn’t want to talk about the dark cloud hanging over Clare. She was universally loved by those closest to her. She led an exemplary life as a Countess but few knew about her time with Epstein and, if they did, they never talked about it’.”
Clare, Countess of Iveagh’s relationship with the vile pedophile has, until now, remained secret.
“The newly-discovered documents from the National Crime Agency (NCA) show the Countess’ links to Epstein were under the spotlight in 2020 after flight records showed her accompanying the pedophile on 40 flights to his Caribbean island and his homes in New York, Ohio and New Mexico.”
Epstein was also almost always on board as was disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre commented in 2021: ‘I didn’t understand Clare’s reasoning for being there. Jeffrey didn’t like older girls but he did with her.’
“Clare appears to have accepted Epstein as her ‘benefactor’. In 1996, she enrolled in Ohio State University – which received millions in donations from Wexner’s charitable foundation – and left with a BA in philosophy three years later.
One of her university friends claimed Epstein paid for Clare’s tuition fees, accommodation and a monthly allowance. Now a 50-year-old studio engineer, the friend told the MoS that Clare was living in a £1,000-a-month rental apartment near the university – a fortune in Ohio – but would frequently leave to jet around the world with Epstein and Maxwell.”
