Justice Deferred: London Police Close the Door on An Investigation Into Andrew (12/16/25)

The Metropolitan Police in London have announced that they will not reopen or pursue a criminal investigation into Prince Andrew over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, stating that there is no new or compelling evidence that meets the threshold for further action. According to the Met, they have repeatedly reviewed material related to Epstein over the years, including information that surfaced during Ghislaine Maxwell’s prosecution in the United States, and concluded that nothing presented warrants a formal criminal probe under UK law. The force emphasized that its position has been consistent and that past assessments found no viable lines of inquiry involving Prince Andrew that could be pursued to a prosecutable standard.

In response to the Metropolitan Police’s announcement, the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre issued sharp and emotional criticism, describing the decision as a devastating but unsurprising failure of justice. They said the refusal to investigate Prince Andrew reinforced a long-standing pattern in which powerful men are shielded while survivors are left to carry the burden alone. The family emphasized that Virginia repeatedly named Prince Andrew as part of her abuse claims and did so at great personal cost, facing years of public scrutiny, legal intimidation, and character attacks. In their view, the Met’s decision sends a clear message that status and proximity to power still outweigh the voices of victims, no matter how consistent or detailed their accounts may be.
