Judith ‘Jude’ Hess is an art dealer who founded Jude Hess Fine Arts in 2014. She previously served as private client director at Phillips auction house and as international business development director in the chairman's office at Christie's. Hess has a publicly documented friendship with Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
She was photographed with Andrew at Royal Ascot in 2011, and told the Daily Mail they are ‘longtime friends.’ Hess is included in this database due to her documented close association with Prince Andrew, who is one of the most prominent figures connected to the Epstein case. However, no direct link between Hess and Jeffrey Epstein has been found in the EFTA documents or other public records. Source: Artnet News (2016).
