Metropolitan Police to take no action after Prince Andrew review

The Metropolitan Police will not take any further action against Prince Andrew following a review prompted by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.

Ms Giuffre is suing Prince Andrew in the US for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied Ms Giuffre’s allegations.

Ms Giuffre, 38, claims she was sexually assaulted by the prince at three locations – London, New York and on Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean.

Her case claims Prince Andrew engaged in sexual acts without Ms Giuffre’s consent, including when she was 17.

The force said it had “reviewed information passed to us by a media organisation in June” and decided that “no further action will be taken”.

On Sunday, the Met said: “As a matter of procedure, MPS officers reviewed a document released in August 2021 as part of a US civil action. This review has concluded and we are taking no further action.”
