The controversy surrounding their relationship led to widespread criticism and eventually forced Andrew to withdraw from public royal work.
Reports have also described police investigations related to information allegedly shared between Andrew and Epstein while Andrew served as the United Kingdom’s trade envoy between 2001 and 2011.
According to statements from Scotland Yard, investigators contacted individuals who had served as protection officers during that period. They were asked to consider whether anything they witnessed might be relevant to ongoing inquiries.
Former head of royal protection Dai Davies later told Sky News that officers would likely have examined all of the locations associated with Epstein, including properties in the United States Virgin Islands, New Mexico, and Florida.
Davies suggested it was difficult to imagine that nothing had been noticed by anyone present during that time.
