Prince Andrew ‘regularly invited masseuses into his bedroom’ at Buckingham Palace as he ‘stripped down to just a towel’
PRINCE Andrew would regularly invite masseuses into his Buckingham Palace bedroom, The Sun can reveal.
One of them, Monique Giannelloni, said she was introduced to him by his paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein’s “fixer” Ghislaine Maxwell.
Monique claimed she was waved into the Palace without any checks in a security breach.
After being ushered through the building, she said she was greeted at the bedroom door by Andrew in a bathrobe.
She then gave him a massage as he was naked under a towel next to a photo of former wife Sarah Ferguson and their daughters, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Monique said she was not searched and did not sign in during her visit to see the Duke in 2000.
His then assistant private secretary Charlotte Manley, who made the telephone booking, wrote her a cheque for £75 for her services.
Monique, 55, now running a restaurant in the south of France, said: “It was so easy to get into the palace. I could have been anyone.”
A royal source said: “Andrew does like massages and regularly had them, but there was nothing untoward.”
A Palace spokesman said: “We wouldn’t comment on a private matter and we don’t comment on security.”
Prince Andrew was forced to step down from his royal duties after the car crash Newsnight interview.
The 59-year-old was criticised for not showing enough sympathy to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Ms Maxwell are unclear.
Where is Ghislaine Maxwell now?
JEFFREY Epstein's ex partner Ghislaine Maxwell, son of former media tycoon Robert, has been thrust back into the limelight following Prince Andrew's car crash interview.
In 1992 she had a romantic relationship with American financier Jeffrey Epstein and remained closely associated with him for decades afterwards.
She was also close pals with Lady Victoria Hervey and Prince Andrew.
The whereabouts of Maxwell - dubbed Epstein's pimp - has been a mystery since 66-year-old Epstein died in his jail cell in August while awaiting trial on a slew of sex trafficking charges.
The Sun has offered a £10,000 reward for information on Jeffrey Epstein pal Ghislaine Maxwell after she disappeared amid accusations she acted like a "madame" for Epstein.
It's now reported that the FBI may "know where she is".
