Sleazy Kevin Spacey was given a private tour of Buckingham Palace by Prince Andrew – and he even sat on the THRONE
SLEAZY Hollywood star Kevin Spacey was given a VIP tour of Buckingham Palace by Prince Andrew.
The Duke of York personally escorted the actor into the heart of the Palace, including areas strictly off limits to most visitors.
Senior royal sources claimed pictures of Spacey were taken inside the Queen’s hallowed throne room.
It is Buck House’s centrepiece, decked out with glittering chandeliers and silk wallpaper.
Last night sources close to the Duke said he had “no recollection” of Spacey being let inside.
The precise date of the visit remains unclear, although the Queen was not thought to be in residence at the time.
Royal experts described the July party — whose guests included Andrew’s daughter Eugenie, 27 — as “tawdry”.
And it revived questions about the Duke’s choice of friendships with the rich and famous.
Both Spacey, 58, and Andrew were pals of paedophile US billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was jailed for trying to hire a 14-year-old girl as a prostitute.
Andrew, 57, quit as a UK trade envoy in 2011 after the friendship was revealed.
A royal source said: “Buckingham Palace is not a theme park to be used for private tours, it’s the heart of the monarchy.
“The Duke’s decision to invite Spacey for a personal guided visit was not ideal then.
“Against the backdrop of the current allegations against Spacey, it looks even worse.”
Spacey was artistic director of London’s Old Vic theatre from 2004 to 2015 and became a darling of the British arts scene.
But last month Star Trek actor Anthony Rapp accused him of trying to seduce him at 14.
A string of claims against the House of Cards star followed.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said last night: “The Palace is home to a number of members of the Royal Family who, from time to time, host guests in a private capacity.”
Spacey’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
