Katherine Keating has been silent about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Let’s have a look at what Katherine, daughter of former PM Paul Keating has been up to.
Katherine, as we have seen has ties to the British monarchy. We all saw photos & or video of her leaving Epstein’s Manhattan address whilst spying Prince Andrew in the footage.
Epstein had a list of social contacts ie Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz and Bill Clinton. The breadth of his circle is now known because the defunct Gawker site published his contact book in 2015. Among the names, young women and powerful men listed - Balazs, Keating's boyfriend.
Above all, though, Prince Andrew appeared to be Epstein and Maxwell's prized relationship. He flew on private jets with them, holidayed with them, and met the young women who populated Epstein's homes.
The prince's presence in their orbit - and his relationship with Keating - is proving to be unexplained and excruciatingly uncomfortable. American Virginia Roberts claims she had sex with the royal when she was 17.
Roberts, who married an Australian and lived on the NSW coast, declared in a legal filing that she had sex with Andrew in the NY townhouse that Keating was apparently videotaped leaving a few years later. The allegation was sealed by a court.
Epstein killed himself the day after it became public on Aug 9.
Keating's connection to Prince Andrew is a mystery. In 2010 she didn't have a full-time job, according to her detailed LinkedIn profile, and reportedly had moved to NY to be with Balazs, who is about 25 years older.
A figure on the Sydney social scene, she didn't have a lot of professional experience or substantial qualifications. In 2003, while she was still studying for an arts degree at the University of NSW (politics, of course), Premier Bob Carr agreed to put her on his personal staff.
She lasted 13 months in Carr's office, and 3½ years as an adviser in the Labor government.
Fiona Barnett made allegations against Bob Carr & as we know witness testimony has been sealed by the Australian government for 90 years.
Katherine’s life then became a series of charity boards where the family name added a touch of glamour: the Sydney Cancer Foundation, the SAD Kids Foundation, the Young Garvan Committee and the National Institute for Dramatic Arts.
It would take a decade to start regular employment again. In 2015 she was hired as a producer on Viceland, a television channel owned by Vice Media, a hip Brooklyn start-up.
Despite her modest career achievements, Keating was an international-standard networker. During her years in New York she would rack up more board seats: the performance committee of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the ambassadors' council of the International Crisis Group
(which was run by an ex-minister in her father's government, Gareth Evans), and an advisory committee for the Global Poverty Project, which was set up by two young Australians. She went with the group to Johannesburg to honour Nelson Mandela, and visited his house.
She judged a prestigious environmental-technology prize, appeared on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland with venture capitalist and Power Ledger promoter Bill Tai,
became an assistant producer on a Churchill biopic, The Darkest Hour, went to Los Angeles for the Oscars and to Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.
She mixed with global leaders at the UN in NY. "Once a year I put on a suit, head uptown for UNGA [UN general assembly] and pretend I still work in politics," she wrote last September.
"I enjoyed spending the afternoon in the company of [French Pres Emmanuel] Macron and several other world leaders."
Like other members of her generation, Keating unselfconsciously shares her glamorous life with the world on social media. Her Twitter feed freely name drops, from "my friend" Malcolm Turnbull to "a very special evening with the Mandela family".
Others who score a mention include her father, on his birthday, actor Hugh Jackman and Paul Polman, the former chief executive of Unilever. A new portrait of Prince Charles received a "bravo".
Last year, though, she seemed to tire of New York, a city that had embraced her. In November she became the "chief sustainability officer" at Maverick, a Beverly Hills entertainment-management company.
Her responsibilities are unclear, although she recently thanked Hugh Jackman for promoting an upcoming Australian tour by U2, one of the firm's clients, at a live performance.
Keating is represented by 'Maverick', a group which also represents Paul McCartney, Madonna and Britney Spears.
Perhaps Keating is a bloodline of note, I can’t find any solid evidence. It is an Irish name, here is the family Coat Of Arms & Baldwinstown Castle (Wexford) once home to the Keating ancestors. Dispossessed in 1864.
Thankyou! 😉
