One former Royal Protection Officer who used to work for the British Royal Family has exposed a “horrifying” incident he witnessed while working for the former Prince Andrew. The Crime Agents podcast host Andy Hughes received a tip-off from one source who was compelled to speak out after the release of billions of pages from the Epstein files, which contained links to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson.
Hughes said that working for the former Duke of York was the “least desirable” job an officer could land, explaining: “It is widely known that to be on Prince Andrew‘s detail was the one job officers didn’t want. This officer said to me that it’s because they were put in awkward positions on many occasions, especially during the ‘Randy Andy’ days, when he was flying all over the world meeting women – which put them in a very difficult position.”
He added that officers would have to “turn a blind eye” when they witnessed “certain types of behaviour”, but didn’t elaborate any further, and was horrified to learn of the consequences for officers who reported a royal.
On the podcast, Hughes explained that officers who reported concerns were punished, being taken off the royal unit and “put back in uniform”. He said: “It has been a regular thing that officers who have reported back would not only be taken off that unit, but also put back in uniform, walking the beat as punishment for reporting a member of the Royal Family.”
Citing his source, he added: “This officer is saying that others who were with Prince Andrew must have seen something, because there were so many young women and girls on the island, and even if they didn’t witness any criminality, they would have witnessed stuff that was extremely unsettling, and they should have reported it. He believes that they didn’t.
Andrew has vehemently and continuously denied any wrongdoing.
