FBI told Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor brought female guests into palace as entry logs were bypassed.
Statements delivered directly to American federal agents claim security relaxed dramatically around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor between 1997 and 2004. Paul Page, who spent six years guarding royal residences, claims young women—including Ghislaine Maxwell—entered palace grounds without security officers writing their names into official police logbooks.
Frustration with local British police prompted the retired officer to reach out to the US Embassy in London.
“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,” Paul Page told Express.
Disappointment over the silence led to formal action abroad.
“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,” Paul Page explained, adding: “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.”
Legal Troubles Mount Beyond the Norfolk Estate
Scandals surrounding ties to Jeffrey Epstein led the King to strip Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his royal titles last year, forcing a relocation from his Windsor home to the monarch’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
A February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office marked a severe escalation, with Thames Valley Police widening the probe three months later to examine allegations of sexual misconduct.
Former royal figure Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always strenuously denied any allegations of wrongdoing.
Investigators insist every lead remains under careful evaluation despite criticisms regarding communication timelines.
“Misconduct in public office is a complex crime and requires a thorough investigation,” a Thames Valley Police spokesman stated, emphasizing that “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.”
