Royal Misconduct Probe Widens to Buckingham Palace Amid Prince Andrew Investigation

A police misconduct probe involving royal staff has expanded its scope, with investigations now extending from Windsor to Buckingham Palace. The widening inquiry has resulted in significant personnel changes and disciplinary actions across several royal residences as of May 30, 2026.

Reports indicate that the investigation has led to the removal of five police officers at Kensington Palace. The BBC described these officers as having been axed as part of the ongoing scrutiny into conduct within the royal security apparatus.

The probe, which has now moved from Windsor to Buckingham Palace, is linked to an investigation involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. According to reporting from The News International and The Mirror, the focus of the misconduct inquiry has broadened to include additional staff and locations.

In a related development, royal guards have been banned from a state palace. This disciplinary measure follows a comment described by the Daily Star as being full with little Hitlers.

King Charles has also been briefed on the situation. Geo News reports that the King received a disturbing update concerning royal staff amid the ongoing probe into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
