UK police seek witnesses in an inquiry into possible offenses by ex-Prince Andrew

Thames Valley Police are seeking witnesses as part of an investigation into potential offenses by former Prince Andrew, including allegations of sexual misconduct. The police have been in contact with lawyers representing a woman who claims she was taken to a location in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes. Authorities stated that if she chooses to report this, her allegations will be taken seriously and handled with care and sensitivity. This comes after a Florida attorney previously stated he represented a woman who had a sexual encounter with Andrew in 2010, following her alleged trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing regarding the allegations against him.

Police appeal for information in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor investigation

Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses in their investigation into alleged misconduct in public office by Prince Andrew. The inquiry, described as "unprecedented," is examining claims of sexual misconduct, corruption, fraud, and the sharing of confidential information involving the King's brother. Police are concerned that potential witnesses may believe the investigation is limited to only one aspect and are urging anyone with information about any criminal offenses to come forward. The investigation is complex due to the various forms misconduct in public office can take. Detectives are meticulously reviewing a significant amount of information and are committed to a thorough inquiry into all reasonable lines of inquiry.
