Prince Andrew, the disgraced former Duke of York, allegedly brought prostitutes into Buckingham Palace for years, effectively turning the royal residence into his personal playground, according to explosive new claims.

Historian Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, made the shocking revelation during an interview with NewsNation’s Paula Froelich, adding that the late Queen Elizabeth II was aware of her son’s behavior but chose to remain silent.

“The Queen Knew — But Did Nothing”

“He brought in prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years. It was done on a regular basis,” Lownie alleged. “People who worked there complained to people in command, but nothing was done — the security that complained were told, ‘If you would like to go back on the beat in Brixton, you have that choice, but otherwise you keep quiet.’”

According to the historian, palace staff repeatedly raised concerns but were ignored due to Andrew’s privileged position. “Of course the Queen knew. She was informed. But he was her favorite son, and he got away with everything. They brushed it under the rug. Until now,” Lownie said.

Palace Insiders Speak Out

Lownie claimed that former palace employees — once too afraid to speak — are now coming forward with accounts of Andrew’s conduct behind closed doors.

“I am getting more and more information every day from people who worked at the Palace and in the government,” he revealed. “They are no longer scared to talk or come out and tell the world what really happened now that Andrew has been removed from power… and now that he is no longer protected by the Queen.”

Andrew, who divorced Sarah Ferguson in 1996, has long faced scrutiny for his controversial lifestyle and associations.

“Forty Prostitutes” in Thailand

The historian also made another startling claim on the Deep Dive podcast with Daily Mail correspondent Sarah Vine, alleging that the Queen and Prince Philip’s third child once had “40 prostitutes” delivered to his hotel while in Thailand.

These allegations come as Andrew faces renewed backlash over his connections to convicted s.e.x offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Stripped of Titles Amid Scandal

On November 3, Andrew, now 65, was officially stripped of his titles — including “His Royal Highness” and “Prince” — by his older brother, King Charles, following accusations that he had sex with women trafficked by Epstein.

Among Epstein’s victims was Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide at 41 in April. In her posthumously released memoir Nobody’s Girl, Giuffre claimed that Epstein forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions, including when she was just 17.

Andrew’s Statement on Losing His Titles

Less than a week before Giuffre’s book was published, Andrew announced he was relinquishing his royal titles, issuing a statement that read:

“In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first.”

These latest revelations deepen the ongoing scandal surrounding Prince Andrew — one that continues to cast a long shadow over the House of Windsor.
