A retired royal protection officer says he has told the FBI that rules were relaxed to allow Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to bring multiple women into Buckingham Palace. Paul Page, who spent six years working at the Palace, alleges this happened between 1997 and 2004.
Claims of secret visits
He also claimed young women — including Ghislaine Maxwell — were allowed to visit in secret without having their names recorded in police log books, according to reports. Mr Page said he got in touch with the US Embassy in London last week after Thames Valley Police ignored his offer to share his claims.
Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was last year stripped of his royal titles by the King following fresh revelations about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He was also forced to leave his Windsor mansion, moving to the monarch’s private Sandringham estate in Norfolk earlier this year.
Investigation ongoing
In February, he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and remains under investigation by Thames Valley Police. Three months later, the force appealed for witnesses to come forward, stating the investigation had been widened to include claims of sexual misconduct, reports The Telegraph.
Mr Page, who was reportedly convicted of fraud in 2009 while working at Buckingham Palace, told the newspaper: “Earlier in 2026, I contacted Thames Valley Police in connection with its investigation and made clear that I had information arising from my first-hand experience as a former Metropolitan Police Royal Protection officer. I received no response.
“I have now formally documented my first-hand information in a written statement lodged with the FBI. That statement sets out matters arising from my experience in Royal Protection concerning Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Ghislaine Maxwell and women whose access to Buckingham Palace I personally encountered, together with the relevant chronology and documentary material available to me.
“I consider that I have therefore fulfilled my responsibility as a potential witness by formally documenting and lodging the information with a law-enforcement authority.”
Denial and police response
Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has always strenuously denied any allegations of wrongdoing. A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: “Misconduct in public office is a complex crime and requires a thorough investigation.
“Our experienced team is working meticulously through a significant amount of information. While we cannot go into specific details of our investigation, we are following all reasonable lines of enquiry.”
