Prince Andrew dodges police probe AGAIN despite Duke being named 70 times in Epstein files
A MET police investigation will not be launched against Prince Andrew following shocking claims in the Epstein files, the force have said.
It comes after the newly unsealed bombshell files included allegations that the Prince participated in an “underage orgy” and groped a woman’s breast with a puppet.
Andrew, 63, was named in the shocking papers 69 times, alongside dozens of other celebrities and politicians associated with paedo Jeffrey Epstein.
The dossier also includes claims an underage girl was told to give Andrew “whatever he demanded” while on Epstein’s private Caribbean resort on Little St James — dubbed “paedophile island”.
Andrew has repeatedly denied the allegations and said he has never met Virginia Giuffre, whose testimony formed much of the lurid allegations in the court papers.
An anti-monarchist pressure group, Republic, reported Andrew to the Met Police after the trove of documents were released.
The group’s head, Graham Smith, argued that King Charles should make a public statement.
Smith said: “To date, there appears to have been no serious criminal investigation, no interview of the accused or other witnesses, and no clear justification for taking no action.”
But the Met insisted no investigation had been launched.
A statement read: “We are aware of the release of court documents in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.
“As with any matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention we will assess it.
“No investigation has been launched.”
The unsealed court files were part of the 2015 lawsuit filed by Giuffre against Epstein’s madame Maxwell released on Wednesday.
A total of 300 more pages of documents dropped last night following the bombshell release.
The Duke of York was stripped of his royal roles in shame and banished from public duty by Queen Elizabeth as he paid out millions of pounds to sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre, 40, two years ago.
