Andrew faces allegation over ‘incident with woman’ at Ascot
Detectives are reviewing witness testimony and Epstein files as the inquiry widens to include sexual misconduct, corruption and fraud, police said.
- Thames Valley police are investigating an allegation that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor behaved inappropriately toward a woman at Royal Ascot in June 2002, examining the claim as part of a wider probe into his conduct during his time as a government trade envoy.
- Prompted by U.S. Department of Justice files released this year, the inquiry examines potential misconduct in public office between 2001 and 2011, exploring allegations of sexual misconduct, corruption, and fraud under Crown Prosecution Service criteria.
- Detectives are working through a list of witnesses, including former cabinet ministers and senior civil servants, to gather evidence about Andrew's decade as a trade envoy, with Sir Vince Cable confirming police contacted him for a statement.
- The investigation encompasses Virginia Giuffre's claims of assault, which The Metropolitan Police previously declined to fully investigate in 2015; Giuffre's family welcomed the Thames Valley police inquiry, while Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
- Andrew was arrested at his Sandringham home on his 66th birthday in February, held for 11 hours before release under investigation; known as "Air Miles Andy" for his travel habits, his decade-long tenure as trade envoy remains central to the probe.
