Andrew will not face police action over bodyguard claim

The Metropolitan Police said it would “take no further action” over allegations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked the police protection officer for information about accuser Virginia Giuffre.

The allegations, first reported in the Mail on Sunday in October, said the then-prince gave the officer Ms Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number just before the newspaper published a photo of the pair meeting in February 2011.

On Saturday, the Met said further assessment “revealed no additional evidence of criminal conduct or misconduct”.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor did not comment on the reports but has consistently denied all allegations against him.

A police force spokesman said: “The Met is committed to thoroughly considering any new information that may assist in this matter.

“To date, we have not received any additional evidence to support reopening the investigation. Unless there is more information, we will not take further action.

“As with any other matter, if new and relevant information is brought to our attention, including information arising from material disclosed in the United States, we will consider it.”
