Whistleblower alleges security breaches at Buckingham Palace involving Prince Andrew

A former royal protection officer, Paul Page, has provided a dossier to the FBI alleging that security protocols at Buckingham Palace were bypassed to facilitate visits by women associated with Prince Andrew between 1997 and 2004.

Page claims that during his six years of service, security personnel were instructed not to challenge or record the names of certain female visitors in official logbooks. He specifically alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking, was permitted to make secret visits to the palace multiple times a week. Page stated that staff felt pressured not to question these visitors due to fear of losing their positions.

The whistleblower informed US authorities after claiming that British police had ignored his attempts to provide information. This follows Prince Andrew’s February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, an investigation being conducted by Thames Valley Police. Andrew has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
