Virginia Giuffre's family 'deeply disappointed' after U.K. drops Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor probe

British police said Saturday they have found no evidence that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked one of his bodyguards to investigate Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.

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.

London’s Metropolitan Police in October said it was looking into media reports that Andrew in 2011 sought information to smear Giuffre by asking a police bodyguard to find out if she had a criminal record. The Mail on Sunday newspaper claimed the then-prince passed Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number to his taxpayer-funded bodyguard.
