The Metropolitan Police has said it will “take no further action” against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over claims he asked his police protection officer for information on his accuser.
The Mail on Sunday alleged that the then-prince Andrew gave the officer Virginia Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number.
The allegations published in October date back to February 2011 – shortly after the picture of Andrew and Giuffre together was published.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said their assessment “has not revealed any additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct”.
Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has not commented on the latest allegations, however, he has consistently denied all wrongdoing.
In full, the police statement read: “Following recent reporting suggesting that Mr Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his Met Police close protection officer to carry out checks on Ms Giuffre in 2011, the Metropolitan Police Service has carried out a further assessment. This assessment has not revealed any additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct.
“The Met remains committed to thoroughly assessing any new information that could assist in this matter. To date, we have not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation. In the absence of any further information, we will be taking no further action.
“As with any other matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including in any information resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
