The allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and the alleged smuggling of massage therapists into Buckingham Palace stem from multiple reports dating back to the early 2000s. One of the most circulated claims came from Monique Giannelloni, a massage therapist who said she was called to Buckingham Palace by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000 to perform a massage on the Duke of York. According to her account, she was brought in through a side entrance without formal clearance or security vetting — something she and others described as a serious breach of royal protocol. The story suggested that Maxwell used her social access to facilitate the encounter, which many later interpreted as part of a wider pattern of lax boundaries between Prince Andrew, Epstein, and their shared social network.

Another account came from massage therapist Emma Gruenbaum, who said she provided legitimate sports therapy sessions to Prince Andrew in 2005 but described the Duke’s behavior as “inappropriate,” including requests for nudity, intrusive personal questions, and a generally uncomfortable atmosphere. While none of these reports have led to formal charges, they contributed to the growing public perception of Andrew’s entitlement and blurred judgment in his private dealings, particularly in relation to his friendship with Maxwell and Epstein
