Police: No Proof Andrew Asked Guard to Spy on Accuser

London police have concluded an investigation into a claim about Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. They found no evidence that the prince asked a bodyguard to investigate Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre has long accused Andrew of sexual abuse, which he has repeatedly denied. The police statement addressed a specific allegation. It said there was no proof Andrew requested any surveillance or information gathering on his accuser. This investigation was separate from the civil lawsuit Giuffre filed against the prince. That case was settled out of court in 2022 for a reported multi-million dollar sum. The settlement included no admission of liability from Andrew. A representative for the prince declined to comment on the police announcement.
