‘It was really weird’: Prince Andrew ‘a constant sex pest’ to royal masseuse

A royal massage therapist has revealed how “constant sex pest” Prince Andrew was “really weird” during sessions in his bedroom at Windsor.

A massage therapist who treated Prince Andrew in his bedroom at Windsor said he was her creepiest client and a “constant sex pest”.

Emma Gruenbaum, 50, told The Sun in an exclusive interview that Prince Andrew quizzed her on her love life and tried to hug her after sessions at Royal Lodge, in Windsor.

After the Duke commented on her “nice a***” and asked an explicit sexual question about it, she stared him down and told him “It’s none of your f***ing business”.

“It was just so tense and weird,” she said.

Ms Gruenbaum spoke out after Andrew’s legal team said his sex-case accuser Virginia Giuffre “may suffer from false memories”.

She added that Prince Andrew insisted on always being naked, apart from one of his on towels, and demanded full-body massages were carried out in his bedroom despite her objections.

He also asked a highly-personal question about her sex life within minutes of their first session, Ms Gruenbaum alleges.

The sports massage therapist was 34-years-old when she started treating Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, at the Wentworth Club in Surrey in early 2005.

On Fergie’s recommendation, Andrew’s staff got in touch and contracted her as a freelancer six times that year.

I had a lot of high-profile clients and often visited their homes. But Andrew was very different. He was a constant sex pest right from the start,” she said.

Ms Gruenbaum says she first got a call from the Duke’s personal secretary inviting her to the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.

Ms Gruenbaum says that when she attempted to lower the table for a deep-tissue massage, Prince Andrew said: “Nice a***”.

“I heard a voice, ‘Hey nice a****. Do you take it up the a***?” she said.

“I stood up quickly and turned around. I was up against the massage table and he was up against me, eyeball to eyeball. Almost touching, he was really close.

“And I went, ‘None of your f***ing business.’ And he just looked at me in sort of a dead stare and said, ‘You can’t talk to me like that.’ I said, ‘Well you can’t speak to me like that.”

“There was then a momentary silence where I was sort of staring at him and I tried to step sideways and get away from being up against the table. It was just so tense, it was really weird.

“But I have had stupid comments over the years and I just said, ‘Look are you going to behave? Get your robe off and lie down and let me do my work. Or am I leaving?’

“And he said, ‘No, I think we’re going to get on just fine.’

Ms Gruenbaum said she wanted to add context on what sort of character Prince Andrew is, “and if that helps Virginia then fantastic.”

Ms Giuffre claims she was trafficked by Epstein to have sex with Andrew when she was 17.

He vehemently denies all her claims and faces a civil trial in New York later this year.

A spokesman for Andrew did not want to comment on Emma’s story.
