I Gave Andrew a Nude Massage Inside Buckingham Palace
A professional masseuse says she was invited by the former prince to Buckingham Palace and claims she performed a nude massage paid for from the royal family’s account.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor continues to draw scrutiny for incidents connected to his past conduct.
A professional masseuse, Monique Giannelloni, says he brought her into Buckingham Palace, where she provided him with a massage while he was naked.
She says the visit occurred after she was recommended to him by Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giannelloni recounts entering the palace without security checks and being escorted directly to Andrew’s room.
She describes him greeting her in a robe before briefly leaving for the bathroom, returning without clothing and causing her discomfort.
She says she looked away but proceeded with the session.
The masseuse explains that she first came into contact with Maxwell through a call from Maxwell’s secretary in New York, who attempted to arrange a late-night appointment.
When Giannelloni visited the next day, she says Jeffrey Epstein was also present, discussing the purchase of an island for 20 million pounds.
She later met Maxwell again, who told her she would introduce her to someone extremely famous.
Soon after, Giannelloni received an invitation from Andrew’s staff to visit the palace.
She says the massage took place in June 2000, months after Andrew became trade envoy.
She reports that the payment of 75 pounds came via cheque signed by his personal assistant, Charlotte Manley, drawn from the royal family’s bank account.
Aside from initial embarrassment, she says Andrew behaved politely and she provided the service only once.
