Explosive Claims: Former Scotland Yard Officer Alleges Prince Andrew Smuggled Women into Buckingham Palace Under Secrecy

A former Scotland Yard royal protection officer has come forward with explosive claims about Prince Andrew, alleging that he repeatedly smuggled women into Buckingham Palace under a shroud of secrecy. Paul Page, who served between 1998 and 2004, revealed to The Sun that officers were instructed not to ask for the names of women who visited the former prince. 'We were told not to question it,' he said. 'We weren't allowed to know the names. We didn't ask, because of fear — we didn't want to get booted off our post.'

The officer, who has previously described Andrew as a 'bully,' says he has approached Thames Valley Police with details he believes could advance their investigation. He claims that the frequency of these visits was so high that 'one of the ongoing jokes was that Andrew should have a revolving door in his bedroom.' This alleged pattern of behavior has reignited calls for a criminal probe, with former Prime Minister Gordon Brown urging Scotland Yard to investigate beyond misconduct in public office.

The Epstein Files, a trove of documents linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, have added a chilling layer to these claims. Flight logs reveal Epstein's Boeing 727–100, dubbed the 'Lolita Express,' landed in the UK over 90 times, including after his 2008 conviction for child sex offenses. Stansted Airport, a key hub in these operations, allegedly facilitated the transfer of victims between planes. Gordon Brown has called this 'by far the biggest scandal of all,' emphasizing that British authorities 'had little or no idea who was being trafficked through our country.'

Sources close to the Palace have alleged that at least one Epstein victim was flown into the UK on the Lolita Express and then taken to Buckingham Palace. Virginia Giuffre, who took her own life in 2020, claimed in FBI documents that she was forced to have sex with Andrew, though her name remains redacted. Her family has expressed 'deep disappointment' with the Metropolitan Police's decision to drop the investigation in 2016, citing lack of explanation.

Andrew's alleged connections to Epstein extend beyond the UK. A 2010 email from Epstein's associate refers to a 26-year-old Russian woman named 'Irina,' while another mentions a 'Mrs Windsor' code used to bring women to the prince. These coded references, along with the lack of security clearance for visitors, have raised serious questions about the effectiveness of royal household protocols. One insider told The Sun that 'Buckingham Palace isn't the fortress you think it is,' with staff often rolling their eyes at Andrew's demands.

The revelations have also triggered a drop in public support for the monarchy. A recent poll commissioned by the anti-monarchy group Republic found support for the monarchy at 45%, down from 48% over the last four months. As the Epstein scandal continues to unfold, the Met has faced mounting pressure to re-examine its handling of Andrew's case. Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has stated it will 'stand ready to support' the police if approached, though the King has expressed 'profound concern' over his brother's conduct.

With new evidence emerging daily, the public is left grappling with the implications of these allegations. The failure of regulatory bodies to act on past claims — including the 2015 allegations of non-recent trafficking — has fueled criticism of the Met's response. As the investigation into Andrew continues, the intersection of royal privilege and public accountability remains a volatile and urgent issue.
