- Excerpts from Virginia Giuffre’s forthcoming posthumous memoir published this week renew allegations dating to when she says she was 17; Giuffre died in April 2025.
- Press-published emails appear to show Andrew remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein in early 2011, contradicting his 2019 claim that ties ended in December 2010.
- Andrew previously withdrew from public duties in 2019 and reached a 2022 civil settlement that avoided a New York trial, as further pressure grew this week with a Telegraph report about meetings with a Chinese official.
