In a revelation that has reignited scrutiny of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s lifestyle, the former prince reportedly received a private, naked massage in a bedroom at Buckingham Palace, with the £75 bill paid directly from the Palace’s Coutts account.

The masseuse, Monique Giannelloni from South Africa, told the Daily Mail that she was waved past security checks and led straight to Andrew’s room, where he emerged nude from the bathroom before lying down on the massage chair.

Giannelloni recalled the encounter as professionally conducted, describing Andrew as “very nice and very gentlemanly,” although she admitted the experience left her embarrassed due to the intimate circumstances and the setting inside the Queen’s official residence.


The Epstein and Maxwell Connection

Giannelloni first came into contact with Andrew through Ghislaine Maxwell, who had obtained the masseuse’s details via her New York secretary.

She described the introduction as unusual, noting Maxwell’s remark during a previous appointment: “I am going to introduce you to someone more famous than God.”

During one of these appointments, Jeffrey Epstein was present, discussing the purchase of an island for around £20 million, which Giannelloni described as awkward and unexpected.

At the time, she had no knowledge of the notorious reputations of Maxwell or Epstein and claimed she was unaware of the larger context surrounding their circle.


Paid for With Royal Funds

Documentation provided to the Daily Mail shows Buckingham Palace settled the massage bill directly from its Coutts account, signed off by Andrew’s then-personal assistant, Charlotte Manley.

This incident adds to growing concerns about Andrew’s spending habits while serving as the UK Trade Envoy from 2001 to 2011.

Former Whitehall officials have alleged that numerous personal expenses, including luxury hotel stays, flights, and spa treatments during trade trips, were charged to taxpayers.

One retired civil servant described trying to block a massage claim but being overruled by senior staff, calling the situation “wrong” and “shocking.”


Patterns of Lavish Spending

Andrew’s fondness for luxury during official trips was widely noted.

During a 2011 visit to Indonesia, he stayed at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta at £1,200 per night and enjoyed rose-petal massages.

Staff reported he was friendly and insisted on being called simply “Andrew,” rather than “Your Royal Highness.”

These habits contributed to the nickname “Air Miles Andy,” reflecting his extensive use of private jets and extravagant travel while holding a high-profile, taxpayer-funded position.


Allegations of Misconduct

The former prince is now under investigation for potential misconduct in public office.

Authorities are probing whether Andrew exploited his position as a trade envoy to share confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein and other wealthy associates.

His arrest last week at the Sandringham Estate marked a dramatic fall from grace.

He was reportedly questioned for hours at a local police station and has denied any wrongdoing regarding his relationship with Epstein.


What’s Next?

Authorities are continuing their investigation into Andrew’s time as UK Trade Envoy and his connections to Epstein and Maxwell.

Further scrutiny may involve examining the flow of taxpayer funds for personal services, including spa treatments and other luxury expenses.

Legal proceedings, potential charges, and parliamentary inquiries could follow as the investigation unfolds.

Meanwhile, Andrew will reside at his Sandringham estate with minimal staff, and the Royal Family is likely to face renewed public pressure to clarify oversight of his financial activities during his tenure as envoy.


Summary

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly received a private, nude massage in Buckingham Palace paid for via the Royal Family’s funds.

The masseuse, Monique Giannelloni, said the session was professional, though she was introduced to Andrew through Ghislaine Maxwell and observed Jeffrey Epstein present during earlier appointments.

The £75 expense is part of broader allegations that taxpayer money covered luxury travel, hotel stays, and personal services during Andrew’s decade as UK Trade Envoy.

Following his sensational arrest at Sandringham, Andrew is under investigation for potential misconduct in public office, including sharing sensitive information with Epstein and other associates.
