Met Police Begin Initial Enquiries into Prince Andrew’s Protection Officers

The Met is investigating claims that Prince Andrew’s protection officers possibly ignored misconduct during trips linked to Jeffrey Epstein, with multiple UK forces reviewing related evidence.

  • Responding to LBC's Tuesday broadcast, the Met has begun initial enquiries into allegations about protection officers assigned to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, stating it has not identified any wrongdoing.
  • An unnamed former protection officer told LBC on Tuesday that members of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's protection team accompanied him to Little St James at least two times, including travelling on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet once.
  • A former senior RaSP officer alleged they `wilfully turned a blind eye` during visits to Little St James, Epstein's base for trafficking and abuse, the former senior Met protection officer said.
  • Multiple UK forces are assessing material while the Met Police's initial enquiries are ongoing, with a national coordination group and NCA support aiding document processing; if concerns are identified, the IOPC would investigate.
  • The Met has launched an investigation into Prince Andrew's protection officers, with Buckingham Palace stating it stands ready to support police, while he has not spoken publicly since last month.
