A former royal protection officer has claimed that British police are not acting on evidence suggesting Prince Andrew smuggled women into Buckingham Palace. Paul Page, who served as a royal protection officer for six years, stated he has instead provided his allegations to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Page also shared his dossier with U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, who recently accused Andrew of committing sex crimes in the United States in connection with Jeffrey Epstein. According to Page, rules were allegedly relaxed between 1997 and 2004 to allow Prince Andrew to bring multiple women into the Palace. He claims that Ghislaine Maxwell and other young women were permitted to visit the royal residence multiple times weekly without their names being logged.
"With Andrew's women, multiple times a week, we were just told not to question it," Page said, as quoted by The Telegraph. "We weren't allowed to know the names. We didn't ask, because the bottom line is, because of fear, we didn't want to get booted off our post. One of the ongoing jokes was that Andrew should have a revolving door in his bedroom, because of the number of women that were coming in and out."
Page stated he contacted Thames Valley Police earlier in 2026 regarding their investigation but received no response. He has since formally documented his first-hand information in a written statement lodged with the FBI. This statement reportedly includes details from his experience in Royal Protection concerning Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and women whose access to Buckingham Palace he personally encountered, along with relevant chronology and documentary materials.
Page also alleged that he received a letter from the head of royal protection reminding him of his confidentiality obligations to the Royal family. He viewed this as an attempt to silence him, particularly as police were appealing for witnesses. He has since lodged a formal complaint alleging improper communication by a senior serving officer, which is currently under investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
Previously, Page described Andrew as a "bully" and came forward with claims that one woman was allegedly flown into the UK on Jeffrey Epstein's "Lolita Express" and brought to the former prince under the codename "Mrs Windsor." He recounted in February how security personnel were instructed to expect a female visitor at certain times, always after closing, who would approach the front gate. These visitors were either allowed to proceed unescorted or were met by footmen and escorted to Andrew.
Sources have suggested that several women were brought to see Andrew at Buckingham Palace without full security clearance, using the "Mrs Windsor" codename. Detectives had stated in February they were identifying and contacting former and current royal protection officers for evidence regarding Andrew's conduct. In May, the appeal for information was broadened, which some interpreted as a sign the investigation was losing momentum.
Prince Andrew was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, related to his time as a trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, following the release of the Epstein files. He remains under investigation by Thames Valley Police. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Thomas Massie amplified the investigation in America earlier in the month by calling for the investigation and prosecution of Epstein's associates and the release of additional files. He specifically named former Barclays bank chief Jes Staley, stage magician David Copperfield, and Prince Andrew, alleging the latter "committed sex crimes in the US."
Page's decision to share his allegations with the FBI and Massie was influenced by Massie's public statements. Andrew has been linked to four women in the Epstein Files, in addition to Virginia Giuffre.
Previous reports indicated Epstein took a young Romanian model to a private dinner at Buckingham Palace with Andrew, with Epstein remarking that the royal found her "beautiful." Another Russian model was invited to a separate dinner at the Palace with Epstein, and in 2010, Epstein offered to introduce Andrew to another 26-year-old Russian woman known as "Irana." Another woman reportedly visited Andrew at his former home, Royal Lodge, before being invited to Buckingham Palace for tea.
A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police stated that misconduct in public office is a complex crime requiring a thorough investigation and that their team is meticulously working through a significant amount of information, following all reasonable lines of inquiry.
