Prince William is said to be growing tired of his uncle’s scandals and wants him out of the public eye, after new allegations about Prince Andrew emerged in a book.

The Duke of York, 65, was accused of “inappropriate behaviour” with a female masseuse in 2000. In her autobiography, former masseuse Monique Giannelloni, now 60, claims the late Queen Elizabeth II’s son abused his privileges when she was summoned to Buckingham Palace by her “madam” Ghislaine Maxwell 25 years ago.

According to royal commentator Pelham Turner, after this, William will be unlikely to allow Andrew to return to the royal family. “The allegations of Prince Andrew’s misconduct have forced the king and the prince to take action. William is known for his temper, and even King Charles may see this as the last straw for his brother,” Turner said.

Meanwhile, royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News : “This is another scandal for the British royal family. Prince William is very keen for his uncle, Prince Andrew, to disappear from the public eye.” King Charles III is also said to be very angry with his brother’s behavior and has publicly distanced himself, ensuring Andrew does not appear with any senior royals

In the book, Giannelloni said that before arriving at the palace, Maxwell – a friend of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein – said he knew a high-ranking figure “more famous than God”. When he arrived, Giannelloni realized that the person Maxwell was referring to was Andrew.

According to Giannelloni, the prince removed his clothes and towel before getting on the massage table. “He did not do or suggest anything inappropriate, but I was very uncomfortable and a little shocked that he acted that way,” Giannelloni wrote. The former masseuse added that she “expected more” from a member of the royal family and that his behavior left a bad impression.

Giannelloni is said to be a celebrity masseuse in the UK, with a high-profile client list that includes Friends star David Schwimmer and dancer Michael Flatley.

Giannelloni also accused Maxwell of trying to recruit her to join Epstein’s infamous sex parties. “Andrew’s reputation was ruined by his friendship with those two people,” the former masseuse said. “Andrew chose to be friends with Ghislaine and Epstein, and I was drawn into their world because of my job.”

Maxwell, 63, was convicted in 2021 of recruiting and grooming young women for Epstein to sexually assault. The billionaire pedophile committed suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
