Prince Andrew allegedly sought to obtain personal information about his accuser Virginia Giuffre through his police protection in 2011.
The Metropolitan Police has confirmed it is now ‘actively’ investigating claims that Andrew asked an officer to dig up dirt on his teenage sex accuser
It comes after Ms Giuffre’s brother requested that King Charles III strip Andrew of his “prince” title, following the announcement that he would stop using his other titles. They Giuffre family said ‘We also request a full investigation as to how Andrew obtained Virginia’s private information.’

Andrew has so far refused to explain how he obtained Ms Giuffre’s nine-digit US social security number. The number, described as ‘the key to someone’s life, is required for opening bank accounts, applying for loans and getting a driver’s licence or passport’.

The Mail Online reports: An email obtained by The Mail on Sunday exposes how Andrew asked his taxpayer-funded Met bodyguard to investigate Virginia Giuffre and passed him her date of birth and confidential social security number.
Astonishingly, Andrew then told Ed Perkins, Queen Elizabeth’s deputy press secretary, that he had asked one of his personal protection officers – part of the Met’s elite SO14 Royalty Protection Group – to dig up information about Ms Giuffre.
He emailed Mr Perkins hours before this newspaper first published the infamous picture of the duke with 17-year-old Ms Giuffre, which would ultimately bring about his downfall.
‘It would also seem she has a criminal record in the [United] States,’ he wrote. ‘I have given her DoB [date of birth] and social security number for investigation with XXX, the on duty ppo [personal protection officer].’
It is not suggested that the officer complied with the prince’s request, while Ms Giuffre’s family last night said she did not have a criminal record.
Her relatives said our revelations ‘expose the lengths to which those implicated try to discredit and defame survivors. The truth will surface and there will be no shadows in which they can hide’.
A spokesperson for the Met Police confirmed today: ‘We are aware of media reporting and are actively looking into the claims made.’
The prince could potentially face a criminal investigation in the US for sharing Ms Giuffre’s social security number without her permission.
Although Andrew previously settled a civil sex assault case brought by Ms Giuffre in the US, this would be the first time in more than two decades where a Royal Family member has been caught up in a criminal probe.
