The former head of security for the Royal Family has urged for Prince Andrew to be questioned by authorities, while Virginia Giuffre’s family is calling for further legal action. Dai Davies, who led Scotland Yard’s Royal Protection Command in the mid-90s, stated that Andrew should face a police inquiry regarding the accusations made by Giuffre, which the prince has denied. Davies also emphasized the need for a separate investigation into the decisions made by law enforcement and prosecution officials who opted not to pursue a case against Andrew.
Virginia’s brother, Sky Roberts, echoed the demand for a thorough investigation into Andrew’s conduct, expressing disappointment that Andrew remains free despite being stripped of his royal title by King Charles. Roberts emphasized the family’s mixed emotions and desire for more justice in the wake of recent developments.
Roberts commended King Charles for supporting abuse survivors and expressed interest in sharing his sister’s story with the palace. He praised Virginia for her courage in confronting a prince and making her voice heard. Roberts shared that despite his sister’s passing, he believes she would be proud and celebrating from above.
While acknowledging the actions taken against Andrew, Roberts stressed that stripping his title is insufficient and called for Andrew to face legal consequences. Additionally, Davies advocated for a thorough examination of Andrew’s activities during his tenure as a UK trade envoy and a scrutiny of the authorities’ handling of the case.
The Metropolitan Police is currently investigating claims that Andrew instructed a security officer to gather information for a smear campaign against Virginia in 2011. These developments have intensified pressure on the Royal Family regarding Andrew’s associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Virginia alleged that she was coerced into intimate encounters with Andrew on multiple occasions, detailing incidents at various locations involving Epstein and Maxwell. Andrew, who has consistently denied the accusations, settled with Virginia in 2022 without admitting liability or apologizing. The decision to revoke Andrew’s prince title followed the disclosure of emails indicating ongoing communication between Andrew and Epstein.
Gloria Allred, representing several of Epstein’s victims, urged Andrew to cooperate with US investigators by voluntarily providing testimony under oath. She emphasized the importance of Andrew’s cooperation for the benefit of the survivors.
The situation continues to unfold, with ongoing scrutiny on Andrew’s past actions and calls for accountability from various parties involved.
