The Metropolitan Police have called on former and serving close protection officers of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to “consider carefully whether anything they saw or heard” could assist the inquiry into his links with Jeffrey Epstein.
Detectives are also working with US authorities to establish whether London airports were used for human trafficking, following calls from Gordon Brown for an urgent re-examination. The Met confirmed no new sexual offence allegations have been made since the release of Epstein documents.
Meanwhile, searches of Royal Lodge in Windsor, Andrew’s former home, continue and are expected to last until Monday. The 66-year-old was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office and released under investigation.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly considering law changes to remove Andrew from the line of succession after the police investigation concludes. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said parliament would consider changing the law “when the time is right”.
