Overview

• A memo leaked to The Sun indicates that US authorities formally ended their probe into Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein this July.
• The closure of the FBI inquiry effectively removes the legal uncertainty that kept him grounded since 2019.
• Following the scandal, Andrew confined himself to the Royal Lodge at Windsor and made only one overseas trip—to Bahrain in 2022.
• In February 2022 he settled Virginia Giuffre’s civil claims for an undisclosed sum while continuing to deny all allegations.
• With no ongoing US investigation, Andrew may now embark on foreign trips and seek to revive his diplomatic and public roles abroad.
