Buckingham Palace officials were forced to issue an extraordinary directive to staff at Prince Andrew's Windsor home after the Duke of York employed a 'human model' to act out his personal fantasies, creating what insiders describe as a deeply unsettling environment.
The 'Living Model' Arrangement
According to multiple royal sources, Andrew brought in a woman to serve as a 'living model' at Royal Lodge, where she would physically manifest his creative visions and elaborate fantasies. The unusual arrangement quickly raised concerns among household staff and security personnel.
One palace insider revealed: "The situation became increasingly uncomfortable. There were explicit instructions about how this person should be positioned, how she should interact with Andrew, and it created a very strange dynamic in the household."
Staff Ordered to Keep Their Distance
The situation escalated to the point where senior palace officials intervened, issuing formal guidance to Royal Lodge employees warning them to maintain professional distance from the model and the Duke during these sessions.
Security concerns mounted as the model was granted unusual access to private areas of the residence, with one source noting "there were genuine worries about what might be witnessed or overheard."
A Pattern of Controversial Behaviour
This latest revelation adds to the growing catalogue of controversies surrounding the Duke of York, who has remained largely out of public view since settling his sexual abuse case with Virginia Giuffre in 2022.
Despite his reduced royal duties, Andrew continues to occupy the 30-room Royal Lodge while reportedly resisting pressure from King Charles to downsize his accommodation.
The model incident represents yet another challenge for the monarchy as it attempts to modernise and distance itself from scandal, raising fresh questions about Andrew's judgment and the ongoing management of his household.
