The Metropolitan Police is continuing to contact royal protection officers who may have worked with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following claims they may have information relevant to Jeffrey Epstein-linked investigations.
It comes after a former protection officer sent a dossier of evidence on the former prince to the FBI, claiming he had been ignored by British police.
Paul Page, who was based at Buckingham Palace between 1998 and 2004, claimed Mountbatten-Windsor breached security rules to bring women into the palace.
Ex-protection officer’s claims
Page – who was convicted of a £3m property scam in 2009 – previously told The i Paper that officers were instructed to ensure official visitor logs did not record the names of Mountbatten-Windsor’s guests.
He said he had seen up to three women walking in and out of Mountbatten-Windsor’s residence in a single night while he was working there.
His claims have so far not been corroborated, and the former duke of York has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Page also sent his testimony to US congressman Thomas Massie, who earlier this month called for Mountbatten-Windsor to be investigated and prosecuted for sex crimes in the US.

It is not clear how Page’s claims will be treated by UK and US law enforcement, if at all.
Both the Met and Thames Valley Police – which is investigating whether Mountbatten-Windsor passed confidential and official Government documents to Epstein as trade envoy – declined to go into specifics.
The FBI and US Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.
However, former Met officer Graham Wettone said investigators would review any information they receive in order of priority.
“In my experience, any witness that comes forward with what is potentially relevant viable evidence will be assessed, will be looked at. It’s done in a priority order, it’s done in a relevance order, as in, ‘Is this one of our key objectives or priorities at this stage of the investigation?'” he said.
“It depends at what stage the investigation is at when he [Page] gets spoken to. The fact they haven’t spoken to one person yet doesn’t mean to say they are being ignored. It’s just that whatever they put in hasn’t chronologically been addressed yet.”
Wettone added: “There’s clearly a wide range of people that need to be spoken to, including other retired police officers, people who have who have closer links to Andrew.”
A Met spokesperson said: “The Met is continuing to make written contact with former and serving officers who we understand may have worked closely, in a protection capacity, with Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor. They have been asked to consider carefully whether anything they saw or heard during that period of service may be relevant to our ongoing reviews and to share any information that could assist us.
“Should any new allegations come to light they will be assessed in the usual way.”
A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “Our experienced team is working meticulously through a significant amount of information. While we cannot go into specific details of our investigation, we are following all reasonable lines of enquiry.”
Nationwide review of Andrew and Epstein files
Three British police forces – Thames Valley, the Met and Surrey – are running live investigations linked to the Epstein files.
The Met is leading a misconduct in public office investigation into Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to the US, amid claims that he leaked market-sensitive material to Epstein while serving as business secretary. Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing.
Following the further release of millions of Epstein-related documents by the US Department of Justice, the force has also launched a review of suggestions that London airports may have been used to facilitate human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Thames Valley Police arrested Mountbatten-Windsor in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was released shortly afterwards.
The criminal offence of misconduct in public office is a complex one, and the scope of investigation may include allegations of sexual misconduct, though the force has not given specifics as enquiries continues.
The former duke of York has denied any allegations of wrongdoing, including in relation to his official role.
Surrey Police is investigating two separate allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse in the Epstein files, though specifics have not been made public.
A small number of other forces are assessing information linked to the files to decide whether there is enough to warrant an investigation.
The National Police Chiefs Council is leading an ongoing process to identify the scale, scope and nature of any potential UK-based violence against women and girls within the files released by the US Department of Justice. The process will determine if further investigation is needed.
Two senior detectives and a senior intelligence specialist have been drafted in to help co-ordinate the national process. Intelligence experts who specialise in investigating organised exploitation are providing support.
