‘Prince Andrew legal team not surprised by Scotland Yard decision’ | Royals

entertainment">Scotland Yard has recently reviewed the case for a third time and again the police have decided not to take any further action.

entertainment">“Despite media pressure and allegations of new evidence, the police have concluded that there are not sufficient grounds for further investigation. The Duke has always maintained his innocence and continues to do so,” the source said.

entertainment">The police again dived into the file following the case that Virginia Giuffre brought against Andrew in New York. The head of the Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, said in mid-August that “no one is above the law” but there is no official investigation into the prince yet. “As a result of what’s going on now, I’ve asked my team to take another look at the material,” said Dick.

entertainment">Giuffre accuses 61-year-old Andrew of abusing her some 20 years ago when she was under 18. She would have been recruited by the convicted and now deceased businessman Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with the prince at the time. Epstein allegedly forced her to have sex with Queen Elizabeth’s second son.
