Overview
- Thames Valley Police formally expanded the investigation this week and issued a public appeal for witnesses while confirming contact with a woman’s legal representative.
- Officers are examining specific historical claims that include an allegation a woman was taken to Windsor in 2010 for “sexual purposes” and a separate incident said to have occurred at Royal Ascot in 2002.
- An unnamed claimant represented by US lawyer Bradley Edwards has told reporters she will not make a formal police complaint, citing ongoing harassment and a wish to protect her privacy.
- Investigators have asked US authorities for authenticated, unredacted Department of Justice material, a mutual legal assistance step that officials say will likely take months and slow evidential progress.
- The probe is being resourced like a major crime inquiry with specialist sexual‑offence investigators, no charges have been brought, Andrew was arrested at Sandringham in February and he denies any wrongdoing.
