LONDON — The family of Virginia Giuffre said Saturday they were "deeply disappointed" after London's Metropolitan Police dropped its investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, saying authorities found no evidence that he had asked a bodyguard to investigate her.

In a statement, Giuffre's family said they had been in contact with a Metropolitan Police detective as recently as Friday and were asked whether they had evidence to present — with no warning that the decision was imminent. They also questioned why police did not wait for the release of additional material tied to the Epstein Transparency Act, which Congress recently passed.

"While we have hailed the UK’s overall handling of the case of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor previously, today we feel justice has not been served," the family said in the statement.

British police said earlier Saturday that they had found no evidence that Mountbatten-Windsor asked one of his bodyguards to investigate Giuffre, a victim of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

1. "We stopped looking. We didn't find anything!"

Yeah, okay. In what order were those two steps taken, hmm?

2. So, are the laws in the UK different in the US such that "private investigators" are banned in the UK?

Or disallowed under certain circumstances, such as if someone is suing you in civil court? Or are the family saying the bodyguard broke into secure system(s), or trespassed on her property, that kind of thing?

Just trying to reckon how it would a police matter in the first place if he had done so. At most, sounds like a civil court matter, but I admittedly don't know UK laws

3. Yes, sounded weird to me that this is all about whether has asked someone to investigate her

Maybe it would connect him to the fact that he knew very closley who she was and they had some conneciton. Her accusations then maybe not so easily dismissed.

4. Anybody expecting the British government, police and courts to act

with integrity in matters they'd rather turn their head about needs only to ask the Irish about the phony way the Bloody Sunday "invetigations" proceeded.

5. Why of course they would

We have the same scum of wealthy "benefactors" here in the US covering for each other.

6. Covering for the wealthy. Works everywhere.

7. Andrew has already reached an out-of-court settlement in the lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre in 2022

It cost him something like $10 million, split between Giuffre, her lawyers and a charity foundation of her choice. So he never admitted any wrong-doing and that's how he's able to weasel out of this. If you pay enough money you can pretend you have a "clean slate."
