Metropolitan Police Withholds Investigation into Prince Andrew’s Alleged Connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
Recently, the big police force in a city said they will not be looking into claims about Prince Andrew. These relate to him and a late man who hurt others sexually – Jeffrey Epstein. The choice happened after not-secret US court papers said Prince Andrew did bad things. These include touching a woman inappropriately at Epstein’s home – an action he firmly says is false.
The big city police said they only check “new and important” information if someone tells them what it is. This leaves room for more studies down the road. Prince Andrew is only one of several famous people involved in the new papers. These are part of the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, who used to be with Epstein and was his girlfriend. She is serving time behind bars right now for helping him hurt young girls.
While a lot of the claims in the papers are not new, they have all the information from Johanna Sjoberg. In a statement, Sjoberg says that in 2001 she met Epstein at his New York house. She accuses Prince Andrew of touching her chest there. But Buckingham Palace said that Sjoberg’s story is completely untrue.
The big mess led a group in Britain called Republic, who don’t like the royal family, to call Prince Andrew on cops. Even though they knew about the papers being made public, the police said no probe has started yet. They just want to check for any new important info that might come out later on.

Prime Minister Review on Prince Harry:
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak didn’t say anything about the police work linked with court records and Prince Andrew. He focused on how delicate this matter is. At the same time, Sir Keir Starmer who leads Labour stressed how vital it is to look into “real” claims no matter who they involve. He used to be in charge of prosecuting crimes that happen publicly.
The papers also talk about other famous people, such as past US leaders Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. But, the papers have no claims of wrong actions against Trump. Also, Clinton is not involved in any illegal things. The papers showed how Epstein had a big group of young girls for sexual activities. They also told about his links with people in politics, business and royalty.
In 2019, Epstein died in jail. It happened while he was facing charges for running a bad network connected to him. Maxwell, who helped Epstein and got a 20-year sentence in July 2020, is now starting an appeal that will happen next November.
Last year, Prince Andrew said he would stop doing royal work because of the Epstein problem. This was a big change in his public job. People all over the world are watching closely as more news comes up about these claims.
