Police looking into whether Prince Andrew enlisted officer to dig up dirt on accuser Giuffre [View all]

LONDON (AP) — London police are probing whether Prince Andrew asked an officer assigned to him as a bodyguard to dig up dirt on sexual assault accuser Virginia Giuffre.

The Metropolitan Police said it was “actively looking into” media reports that Andrew in 2011 sought information to smear Giuffre by asking an officer on the force to find out if she had a criminal record.

The report by the Mail on Sunday followed Buckingham Palace’s announcement Friday that Andrew agreed to relinquish use of Duke of York and other remaining royal titles after emails emerged showing he had remained in contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein longer than he previously admitted.

Giuffre’s family welcomed news of the duke’s demise but said King Charles III should go further and strip Andrew’s title as prince. Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.
