Overview
- London’s Metropolitan Police said it is actively examining claims reported by the Mail on Sunday that Andrew in 2011 passed Virginia Giuffre’s personal details to his police protection to seek derogatory information.
- Andrew announced he will no longer use his royal titles after discussions with King Charles III, though he remains a prince by birthright and denies the allegations against him.
- Excerpts from Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, due for release on October 21, describe alleged sexual encounters when she was 17 and portray his behavior as a claimed sense of entitlement.
- Reports in UK media say Prince William aims to exclude Andrew from royal and state events in the future, reflecting efforts to limit his role in public royal life.
- New reporting cites emails suggesting Sarah Ferguson maintained longer and deeper financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein than previously acknowledged, with documents said to be held by a US congressional committee.
