Statements by Prince Andrew's former therapist could worsen his situation
The woman stopped working for him because she felt uncomfortable with the comments made during the sessions.
While awaiting trial for Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit, Prince Charles could be affected by statements made recently, which do not favor him in any way.
Exclusive statements by the former therapist of the prince, were published in the British newspaper The Sun, in it you can see that the member of the royal family really has a compulsive personality.
Emma Gruenbaum, 50, worked at the Royal Lodge residence, Windsor, as a masseur to relieve certain ailments.
In 2005, she began her employment with Andrés' ex-partner, Sara Ferguson, and she took it upon herself to recommend her to the prince.
For 16 years she provided massage sessions, at that time she was 34 years old. Despite Gruenbaum's objections, the venue for the sessions was in an organized space in the prince's bedroom.
Prince Andrew requested full body massages at his own table, as he did not like the one the masseuse used.
This table was higher than those indicated for massages and while receiving the therapy, Emma's hips were at the same height as the man, while when she bent down for the chest massage, she could touch her.
After making certain complaints about what was happening, he told her that it was the only option and that he liked it that way.
In the statements, the woman says that the prince was always in the room with only a towel on and that he wanted to hug her whenever he could.
On one occasion, she stopped him, placing her hand on his chest and indicating that she did not give hugs. He claimed that Prince Andrew was an overly "loving" person.
The prince wanted her to stay with him for a while after the sessions, which she describes as “the creepiest client” she has ever dealt with.
In one of their first sessions, without knowing each other beforehand, the prince asked him very personal and uncomfortable questions regarding his sexual tastes.
Emma, in the interview, emphasized that after this, it was clear to her that the prince wanted something more. He says that he never asked him explicitly, but he did ask him if he wanted to see a movie or if he wanted to stay a while longer.
Gruenbaum added that he did not exhibit normal behaviors of a professional sports therapy client. In those cases the therapist goes back and forth. In case the patient has any ailment or injury, there are no talks, no home visits, much less dinners, he added.
Emma considers that it always felt sordid and strange.
One of the first meetings
When he started work, one of the first days, the prince was talking about anal sex and also made sexual jokes, regarding the subject.
On one occasion during the date, he asked her if she had already had sex for the first time. Despite asking him to shut up, the prince continued to be a stubborn child. Despite Emma continuing to insist that the prince remain silent, he continued to bring up the subject.
Feeling tired of the situation, she asked someone in charge to pay for the service, since he did not manage it, after six 70-minute sessions. In total, the woman received 80 pounds for each.
After two months, he did not receive any type of call from the prince's secretary, for an upcoming appointment.
Emma was aware that he wanted something more, and she just didn't agree with it.
Currently, he is grateful that at that time he had the ability to deal with the situation, despite being 34 years old. He said that it is not pleasant for a person in that position to put a young woman in that position. She also commented that it scares her to imagine how she would have felt if she had been ten years younger at that time.
After her experience, imagine how she was able to treat young women who did not have the same strength as her.
With this testimony, Emma wants to help bring to light the true image of Queen Elizabeth's son.
She hopes that with her experience, she can provide insight into the kind of person the prince is, how he treated her, and how he may have treated other women. You want this to help Virginia in her complaint.
The physical therapist defines the prince's behavior by saying that it was a " constant sexual plague from the beginning ".
Virginia Giuffre denounced Prince Andrew for sexually abusing her three times, when she was only 17 years old.
The case is being handled by a New York judge, who has dismissed the prince's requests to dismiss his lawsuit and thus avoid trial. Despite this, the trial continues.
