"London police said Saturday that they will not investigate claims that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, asked a bodyguard in 2011 to dig up dirt on his accuser Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre, who died by suicide at age 41 earlier this year, had alleged that she was sexually trafficked to Andrew as a teenager by now-deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre sued Andrew in civil court for sexual assault in 2021, with Giuffre and Andrew coming to an out-of-court settlement in 2022."
"British newspaper Mail on Sunday reported in October that Andrew gave Giuffre's date of birth and social security number to his personal protection officer. The paper said Andrew was seeking information that could be used to smear Giuffre, a dual citizen of the US and Australia. The bombshell report shortly before King Charles decided to strip 65-year-old Andrew of his royal titles, with the former prince also expected to leave his Royal Lodge residence."
London Metropolitan Police assessed allegations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his protection officer in 2011 to carry out checks on Virginia Giuffre and found no additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct. Giuffre, who died by suicide at 41 earlier this year, had accused being sexually trafficked to Andrew as a teenager by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre sued Andrew in 2021 and the parties reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022. A Mail on Sunday report said Andrew provided Giuffre's date of birth and social security number to his protection officer, prompting family disappointment at the police decision.
