A former royal protection officer has alleged that Prince Andrew brought two women believed to be sex workers into Buckingham Palace and then broke security protocol by personally escorting them outside - exposing himself to potential danger for about ten minutes while he hailed them a taxi on Buckingham Gate.
Paul Page, who served in the Metropolitan Police's Royal Protection Unit from 1998 to 2004 safeguarding Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and Andrew, described the alleged incident in an exclusive interview. The former officer claims the episode represented a significant security risk and violated established royal protocol.
The Alleged Incident
Page recounted receiving instructions from the control room about two female guests arriving. "We got a call from the control room. He [Andrew] has got two female guests arriving in a taxi shortly. They said 'You're not to stop the taxi, it's to be directed straight into the quad,'" he said in the interview.
The two women, whom Page described as wearing "very short skirts and very low cut tops" and who "looked like they might have had a drink", stayed in Andrew's private quarters for about an hour. Senior officers informed Page they were likely sex workers.
When the women prepared to leave, officers spread the word. "Then we get a call - 'The females are exiting Andrew's apartments,'" Page recalled. 15 police officers ran to the side door to observe. "You would have thought there was a major security alert. Fifteen police all running full pelt down to the side door to view these two 'prostitutes'. There were loads of us packed into the side door area."
The Security Breach
What happened next caught the officers by surprise. "But what the idiot in the control room never told us was that Andrew was with them," Page said.
"Andrew has decided to come and not only that he's walked out onto Buckingham Gate with them - which is unheard of - and he's stood out on the side of the road with these two unknown females and stayed there for about 10 minutes until he could wave a taxi down and put them in it and send 'em off."
The officers scrambled to conceal themselves. "Anyone could have grabbed him or seen him. He was there for at least ten minutes, because we all had to lay under the f*****g cars for ten minutes waiting for him to p*** off," Page stated.
Protocol Violation
Page emphasized the significance of Andrew's actions. "A member of the Royal Family just doesn't do that!" he said. Under normal circumstances, a footman would escort a private guest off Palace grounds, not a royal family member publicly hailing a taxi.
The allegations come amid recent claims involving Andrew. The author contacted representatives for both Andrew and the Palace for comment.
