Former Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, allegedly used a coded phrase to gain entry for young women into Buckingham Palace, according to a report by The Sun, which cited newly released documents linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew would reportedly telephone palace staff and use a specific passphrase to ensure the visitors were allowed in.
Emails released in the US show several women entered the Palace with the former prince’s permission after Epstein sent them. The women included a Romanian model and another from Russia, both treated to a private dinner while the Queen was away in Balmoral, as per thereport.
Andrew is thought to have told staff: “Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly, please let her in and show her up.”
One source told The Sun: “It was common knowledge that Andrew liked to have young women visit Buckingham Palace. “He would phone the duty office and always say the same thing — ‘Mrs Windsor will be arriving shortly – please let her in and show her up’.
“This was always via one of the out of sight staff entrances.
“It was so frequent that they used to just roll their eyes and say ‘yes sir’.
“It went on for years. The royal protection officers hated being assigned Andrew as he was so unpleasant and dismissive.”
Another source told the newspaper: “Buckingham Palace isn’t the fortress you think it is.
“A lot of them had no security clearance whatsoever. Few details, if any, were taken because of his status within the Royal Household.
“It was regularly discussed by courtiers but nothing was ever done to challenge it.”
