Overview

• London’s Metropolitan Police said it is actively looking into reports that Prince Andrew asked a protection officer in 2011 to obtain damaging information about Virginia Giuffre.
• York MP Rachael Maskell said she is minded to reintroduce a Removal of Titles Bill, while SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn urged legislation to take titles from Andrew and others linked to Epstein.
• Government ministers, including Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, said they support the palace’s recent steps and would be guided by the royal household rather than act unilaterally.
• Buckingham Palace has updated official references to style him simply as Prince Andrew, with UK media reporting his Duke of York styling has been removed from the royal website.
• Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, due Tuesday, sets out fresh allegations that Andrew denies; he previously settled her U.S. civil case in 2022 without admitting liability.
