UK Police Close Probe on Prince Andrew's Alleged Request
Prince Andrew, who is the brother of King Charles III, was accused of asking his bodyguard to look into Virginia Giuffre, a woman who said she was hurt by Jeffrey Epstein.
The police in London looked into this but found no proof that Prince Andrew did anything wrong.
They decided not to investigate further.
Virginia Giuffre's family is upset because they think justice wasn't served.
Prince Andrew had already settled a legal case with Giuffre in 2022, but he didn't admit to doing anything wrong.
He did say he was sorry for what she went through.
King Charles III recently took away Prince Andrew's royal title because of these issues.
UK police found no evidence that Prince Andrew asked a bodyguard to investigate Virginia Giuffre.
The Metropolitan Police assessed media reports but found no additional evidence of criminal acts.
Giuffre's family expressed disappointment, stating justice was not served.
Giuffre alleged she was exploited by Andrew and others in Epstein's sex trafficking ring.
King Charles III stripped Andrew of his royal title last month.
