Prince Andrew Spotted On His Estate Looking Depressed After Allegations Of ‘Inappropriate’ Conduct By Masseuse

Prince Andrew was seen riding horseback outside of Windsor Castle in the days after new accusations of “inappropriate behavior” with a masseuse in an upcoming memoir were published.

Andrew, 65, appeared in low spirits as his steed trotted the expansive grounds. A designated staffer rode alongside him to provide care and protection for the Royal animals. Andrew is fighting his older brother King Charles’ attempts to force Andrew to downsize due to his unreliable finances. While unable to pay the $190,000 maintenance bill, Andrew has refused to leave the premises and has taken the yardwork and other estate upkeep upon himself.

Now, former masseuse Monique Giannelloni accused Andrew of behaving “inappropriately” when she was summoned to Buckingham Palace in 2000.

Giannelloni’s forthcoming memoir remembers Andrew’s “abuse [of] privilege” during their time together. She was brought to Buckingham Palace by Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who encouraged Giannelloni to come under the pretense that she had a high-profile contact, “more famous than God.” It was upon arrival that Giannelloni found out Maxwell was referring to Andrew.

Giannelloni recounts how at the start of their session, Andrew fully disrobed (removing the towel that is customary to wear during massages) and settled down on the massage table. She wrote, “He did not do anything or suggest anything untoward, but I was very uncomfortable and a bit shocked that he had acted like that.” 

Emma Gruenbaum, another former massage therapist who went to Buckingham Palace in 2005, also voiced discomfort when working with Andrew. In February, The Independent reported Gruenbaum’s accusations that Andrew was a “total creep” and “constant sex pest” during the six sessions they had, and once inappropriately asked her about her sexual practices. Gruenbaum and Giannelloni’s experience of Andrew aligns with the discomfort they felt regarding Andrew’s ease with them.

Referencing the companions Epstein and Maxwell, Giannelloni wrote, “Andrew’s reputation has been sullied by his friendships with those two people…it was Andrew’s choice to be friends with individuals Ghislaine and Epstein and somehow, I ended up in their world because of my work…I have a lot of questions and a significant one is: Was Ghislaine trying to involve Andrew in her sordid lifestyle?”

Andrew infamously was a close friend of convicted sex offender Epstein and was known to visit his private island, used to traffick young women. Maxwell was convicted of recruiting and grooming the young women for the trafficking ring in 2021. She is now serving 20 years in prison in New York.
