UK Police Probe Fresh Allegations Against Prince Andrew Over Epstein Links
Prince Andrew's reputation is under further scrutiny after British police announced they would be reviewing fresh allegations that the Duke of York had sex with a woman at Windsor Castle in 2010. The woman, who is not from the UK, claims she was invited to stay at Royal Lodge by Jeffrey Epstein and later received a tour of Buckingham Palace.
The new allegations come as Prince Andrew's home life has been thrown into chaos. He recently moved out of Royal Lodge and is currently living in a temporary property on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk while his permanent residence undergoes renovations.
Prince Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, but the latest developments have sparked fresh calls for him to testify before the US Congress about his ties to Epstein. The former prince's brother, Prince Edward, made public comments earlier this week saying it was essential to remember the victims in the Epstein case.
Lawyers representing the woman claim she spent a night with Prince Andrew and was given a tour of Buckingham Palace as a reward for her services. They are considering filing a civil lawsuit against him on her behalf, accusing him of complicity in Epstein's sex trafficking ring.
The allegations have come to light after the US Department of Justice released thousands of documents relating to Epstein's activities. The files include photographs showing Prince Andrew with an unidentified woman, sparking concerns about potential wrongdoing.
In 2019, Prince Andrew paid millions to a woman he claimed never met, Virginia Giuffre, to settle a civil sexual assault claim without admitting any liability. However, the case has raised questions about his involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking network and whether he should be held accountable for his actions.
The Metropolitan Police previously declined to launch a full investigation into two other allegations against Prince Andrew, including one that he had sex with Giuffre when she was 17 years old. The force has now announced it will review the new allegations as part of its established procedures.
