Paul Page, a former royal protection officer, told “60 Minutes” about an incident while he was on guard at Buckingham Palace. Prince Andrew brought his own protection officer with him and began hitting golf balls toward the lake. He then insisted that his royal bodyguard run and fetch the golf balls that hadn’t gone into the water. Mr. Page was shocked that the “police officer was acting as a ball boy.” He began to express his concern after the Epstein scandal was connected to the prince because, as he said, he was bullied by Prince Andrew and thus “suffered at the hands of the prince.”
Page recounted to The Sun that he and several other officers once rushed to check on a possible intruder who appeared in the queen’s quarters of Buckingham Palace. “But when we got there, we realised it was Prince Andrew. He looked scruffy and was wearing a tracksuit. Page said he apologized for the misunderstanding, but Andrew reportedly didn’t take kindly to the mistake. According to Page, the prince replied, “This is my house, I go where I want, now f**k off.” It should be noted that the source, Mr. Page, was once jailed for his participation in a property scam.
Similar “bullying” claims were once made against Meghan Markle Although Buckingham Palace investigated the claims, they remain confidential, according to BBC News. Given the close nature of the work, it stands to reason that the relationship between royal bodyguards and their principals could blur the lines between friendship and employee. As former protection officer Simon Morgan explained to Insider, being surrounded by “the best cars, yachts, and restaurants” can actually distract a bodyguard from providing the level of protection the royals need. “That’s the principal’s life, not yours. And if you don’t understand that, you will be compromised,” he said.
