UK police said Friday that no investigation has been launched into Prince Andrew after an anti-monarchy group filed a complaint based on recently released US court documents detailing people linked to accused sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein.
A New York judge on Wednesday began to unseal the identities of those linked in the documents to disgraced US financier Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial.
In them, Andrew, who is formally known as the Duke of York, is accused of groping a woman, which he denies.
Republic, which wants an elected British head of state, said in a statement on Thursday that “we’ve just reported Andrew to the police.”
Opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer — a former chief state prosecutor — also said Friday police should “look at” the new claims.
But the Metropolitan Police said Friday that “no investigation has been launched”.
“We are aware of the release of court documents in relation to Jeffrey Epstein,” it said in a statement.
