Police Review New Claims Against Prince Andrew After He Renounces Royal Titles

London officers are assessing a report that he sought to discredit Virginia Giuffre by asking his protection team to investigate her.

Overview

  • Met Police said they are evaluating allegations reported by the Mail on Sunday that in 2011 Andrew asked his taxpayer-funded protection officers to probe Giuffre’s personal details.
  • Andrew announced Friday he will no longer use his royal titles and honors after discussions with King Charles III and his family, while continuing to deny the accusations.
  • The review reportedly concerns actions taken shortly before the publication of a photo showing Andrew with his arm around Giuffre’s waist.
  • Andrew canceled a planned 66th birthday party for Sarah Ferguson at the Royal Lodge as scrutiny of his conduct intensified.
  • The Sunday Times reports that Prince William intends to bar Andrew—and reportedly Ferguson—from royal and state events, as Giuffre’s posthumous memoir is set for release following her death in April.
