Prince Andrew’s former massage therapist has made sensational allegations that the under-fire royal was a ‘constant sex pest’ who quizzed her on her love life while she massaged him in his bedroom.

Emma Gruenbaum, 50, has claimed that the Duke of York tried to hug her after massage sessions at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park and always insisted on being naked apart from a towel.

After the Queen’s second son allegedly asked her if she ‘takes it up the a***’, the massage therapist claims that she swore at Andrew and furiously told him: ‘It’s none of your f***ing business’.

It comes after the duke’s legal team claimed that his accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre ‘may suffer from false memories’.

Miss Gruenbaum told The Sun: ‘I don’t want to sit by and not speak out about the way he was towards me as he calls Virginia delusional.’

The paper alleges that Miss Gruenbaum was a sports massage therapist at the Wentworth Club in Surrey in early 2005 when she started treating Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. Fergie allegedly recommended her services and Andrew’s staff then got in touch.

Miss Gruenbaum allegedly first met the duke that summer, just months after the first sex claims against disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein emerged in the US.

The massage therapist, a freelancer who was not knowingly vetted by Palace staff, claims she visited Andrew six times that year.

She claimed: ‘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.’

Miss Gruenbaum alleges she first got a call from the duke’s personal secretary inviting her to the Royal Lodge.

When she allegedly attempt to adjust the massage table, she claimed she heard Andrew’s voice behind her saying: ‘Hey, nice a***. Do you take it up the a***?’.

The therapist told The Sun: ‘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”.’

She added: ‘I always looked away as he got on the table and made sure there was a towel covering his modesty, but he was always naked under the towel. We started the massage. But all the way through he was talking about anal sex and making anal sex jokes. He asked when I had last had sex. It went on and on.

‘I kept telling him to shut up but quickly realised he was OK with being talked at like he was a naughty schoolboy kind of thing.

‘So I just carried on in that vein telling him to shut up. And that was the pattern. I saw him six times. He’d say he would get someone to pay me because he doesn’t deal with cash.’

Andrew’s office allegedly sent cheques to Miss Gruenbaum’s home address including a compliment slip from the prince.

After allegedly visiting the duke almost weekly for around two months, she stopped getting calls from his staff to arrange appointments.

It comes after masseuse Monique Giannelloni alleged that in 2000 a valet showed her Andrew’s bedroom at Buckingham Palace before he came out of a bathroom naked.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for the duke for comment. Andrew’s spokesman did not want to comment when approached by The Sun.

Miss Roberts claims that she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to have sex with Andrew when she was a minor under US law. The duke has vehemently denied all her allegations and has demanded a ‘trial by jury’ in New York later this year.
