Historian Andrew Lownie stated: 'Staff no longer fear speaking out now that Andrew has been removed from power and no longer has the Queen's protection.' According to sources, the atmosphere of silence and protection around Andrew remained while the Queen was alive. Following her death and his loss of status, more staff have begun to share details about what went on inside Buckingham Palace. 'Security staff who protested were warned that if they were not happy, they could go back to patrolling Brixton, but otherwise they had to remain silent,' he recounted. He added that Queen Elizabeth II was aware of the situation, but because Andrew was her favorite son, 'he got away with it,' and the matter remained hidden until now. These claims add to the sexual abuse allegations and links of the former royal family member to Jeffrey Epstein's network, placing him at the center of one of the biggest scandals of the contemporary monarchy. According to Lownie, the presence of prostitutes at the palace was commonplace. 'He brought prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was a regular occurrence.' 'I receive more information every day from people who worked in the palace and in the government.' All these revelations about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's private life have been exacerbated by the sexual abuse allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein's network. Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims, recounted in her posthumous memoirs 'Nobody's Girl' — published six months after her death — that she was forced to have sexual relations with Andrew on three occasions, the first when she was 17 years old. According to excerpts published by The Guardian, Giuffre described how Epstein instructed her to 'serve' the then Duke of York, who, she said, acted as if having sex with her was his 'birthright.' Additionally, the author told Daily Mail that on one occasion, the former duke requested the presence of 40 prostitutes at a hotel in Thailand. Testimonies from former palace staff back up Lownie's version. For many years, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, former Duke of York, brought prostitutes to Buckingham Palace, a practice that, according to historian Andrew Lownie, was known to Queen Elizabeth II, who decided to do nothing and let her son do as he pleased. This was revealed by Lownie, author of 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,' in statements collected by NewsNation and Daily Mail. Employees complained to their superiors, but no action was taken.
