Investigation into Prince Andrew and Buckingham Palace

Overview

Former royal protection officer Paul Page has provided a dossier to the FBI and US Representative Thomas Massie, alleging that security protocols at Buckingham Palace were bypassed between 1997 and 2004. Page claims that security rules were relaxed to allow Prince Andrew to bring multiple women into the palace, and that certain visitors, including Ghislaine Maxwell, were permitted to visit without being recorded in official logbooks.

Page stated that staff felt pressured not to question these visitors due to fear of losing their positions. He turned to US authorities after alleging that British police had ignored his attempts to provide information.

This development follows Prince Andrew’s arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Thames Valley Police is currently investigating the matter, and the inquiry has been widened to include claims of sexual misconduct. Prince Andrew has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
