Former Prince Andrew reportedly turned Buckingham Palace into his personal pleasure palace, bringing prostitutes into the royal home for years while Queen Elizabeth was aware of the deeds, according to historian Andrew Lownie.
“He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was done on a regular basis. People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done — the security that complained were told, ‘If you would like to go back on the beat Brixton, you have that choice, but otherwise you keep quiet,’” Lownie told NewsNation’s Paula Froelich.
”Of course the Queen knew. She was informed. But he was her favorite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug. Until now,” he added.
Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, said that former palace employees are now speaking out about Andrew, divorced from Sarah Ferguson in 1996, since he was removed from power.
“I am getting more and more information every day from people who worked at the Palace and in the government — they are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened now that Andrew has been removed from power . . . and now that he is no longer protected by the Queen,” he told Froelich.
He also revealed that the former Duke of York, who now goes by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, once had as many as “40 prostitutes” delivered to a hotel in Thailand, according to the Daily Mail.
The revelations come after Andrew was stripped of his “His Royal Highness” and “Prince” titles and honours by his older brother, King Charles, following allegations linking him to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network.
Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims who died by suicide in April, claimed in her memoir that Epstein ordered her to have sex with Andrew on three occasions, including when she was just 17.
On October 17, less than a week before Giuffre’s book was published, Andrew announced he was giving up his titles. “In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first,” he said.
