Prince Andrew is facing increasing pressure to address critical questions as the Metropolitan Police’s investigation progresses, according to a former royal police officer. The prince reportedly provided Virginia Giuffre’s personal information to a royal protection officer, leading to the Met Police actively considering a probe.
Former Scotland Yard Royal Protection Command head Dai Davies emphasized that Andrew, 65, must clarify the newly surfaced emails from February 2011. Despite vehemently denying allegations of sexual misconduct with Giuffre, Davies urged authorities to thoroughly review the situation before launching a formal investigation.
The former royal officer stressed the importance of interviewing Andrew’s protection team and uncovering the truth surrounding the allegations. Recent emails indicate Andrew’s attempt to involve a late Queen’s aide in the matter, raising further questions about his previous statements. Following a controversial interview in 2019, where Andrew claimed not to remember meeting Giuffre, the situation has escalated into a significant crisis for the royal family.
Despite Andrew’s decision to relinquish his remaining titles and distinctions, unanswered questions linger. Giuffre’s family expressed determination to reveal the truth and hold those involved accountable. Davies pointed to compelling evidence in the leaked emails, suggesting a need for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Andrew’s actions.
The scrutiny continues as inquiries persist into how Andrew obtained Giuffre’s personal details and his interactions with Epstein and Maxwell. Andrew maintains his innocence amid mounting scrutiny and public pressure.
