An officer goes public

Paul Page, a former Metropolitan Police royal protection officer, says British police are ignoring his evidence that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor smuggled women into Buckingham Palace.

So he called Washington

With no reply from the UK investigation, Page took his allegations to America's FBI instead, lodging a formal written statement with them.

A congressman gets a copy

Page also sent his dossier to US Representative Thomas Massie, who had just publicly accused Andrew of committing sex crimes in the US with Jeffrey Epstein.

Six years inside the gates

Page worked at Buckingham Palace for six years. He alleges the rules were loosened so Andrew could bring several women in between 1997 and 2004.

Names left off the log

Ghislaine Maxwell and other young women visited the residence 'multiple times a week' without their names being written into police log books, Page claims.

Told not to ask

Officers on the gate were instructed not to question the visits. Page says nobody pushed back because they feared losing their post.

“With Andrew's women, multiple times a week, we were just told not to question it. We weren't allowed to know the names.”

The revolving door joke

Staff turned the traffic into a running gag about the volume of women coming and going from Andrew's rooms.

“One of the ongoing jokes was that Andrew should have a revolving door in his bedroom.”

Arrested a week later

On 19 February, days after Page spoke out, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office over his years as a trade envoy from 2001 to 2011.

Still under investigation

Thames Valley Police continue to investigate. The arrest followed the release of the Epstein files.

No response at all

Page says he contacted Thames Valley Police earlier in 2026, flagging first-hand experience from royal protection. He heard nothing back.

“I received no response.”

What the statement covers

His FBI filing sets out what he personally encountered involving Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell and women granted Palace access, with a chronology and supporting documents.

A letter about silence

The head of royal protection wrote to Page reminding him of his confidentiality obligations to the Royal Family.

He filed a complaint

Page read the letter as an attempt to shut him up while police were publicly appealing for witnesses. He lodged a complaint alleging improper contact by a senior serving officer, now with the Met.

The Mrs Windsor codename

Page went to police over claims a woman was flown into the UK on Epstein's 'Lolita Express' and delivered to Andrew under the codename 'Mrs Windsor'.

After closing, through the gate

The routine was always late. A woman would approach the front gate, officers called the footmen, and she walked in unescorted or was collected and taken to Andrew.

“It's always after closing, and a female will be approaching the front gate.”

What the officers assumed

They read it as a prince behaving badly rather than anything worse, and Page says Andrew withheld names because he treated staff with contempt.

“We put it down to him being a sh*gger, and because he's a prince.”

An appeal that widened

In February detectives were contacting current and former protection officers. By May they were asking anyone at all with information, read widely as a sign of stalling.

The witness has a record

Page was jailed for three years in 2009 for fraud, having run a syndicate called the Currency Club at Buckingham Palace and a £3million Ponzi scheme involving more than 100 other officers.

Massie's demand

The congressman called for Epstein's associates to be investigated and prosecuted and for three million more files to be released, naming Jes Staley, David Copperfield and Andrew.

“And Prince Andrew, who committed sex crimes in the US.”

Four women, one denial

Andrew is linked to four women in the Epstein files alongside Virginia Giuffre, among them models brought to Palace dinners. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and police say the case is complex and ongoing.
