• UK police find no evidence to support allegations against Prince Andrew regarding Virginia Giuffre.
• Claims involved Andrew allegedly asking a bodyguard to investigate Giuffre for a smear campaign.
• Giuffre's family expressed disappointment over the police decision not to proceed with the investigation.

London's police force has announced that they will not be taking further action regarding allegations that former Prince Andrew solicited his bodyguard to investigate Virginia Giuffre, who had accused him of sexual abuse. An assessment revealed no evidence of criminal acts or misconduct related to this 2011 claim, leading to the decision to drop the investigation, according to Reuters and CBS News.

Back in October, Britain's King Charles III formally stripped his brother Andrew of royal titles due to associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew allegedly asked a police bodyguard to investigate Giuffre's background to potentially undermine her credibility, as reported by South China Morning Post and CBS News.

The decision not to continue with the investigation has been met with criticism from Giuffre's family, who feel let down by the lack of further inquiry, stating, “We continue to challenge the system that protects abusers,” as quoted in South China Morning Post. Giuffre died by suicide in April, amplifying the emotional impact of the decision on her family and the public.

Despite this conclusion, law enforcement has indicated that they will reassess the situation should any new or relevant information emerge, particularly in light of ongoing unsealing of court documents in the U.S., according to CBS News and Reuters.
