Overview
- Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said authorities are requesting unredacted U.S. materials and reviewing a range of sexual allegations to determine whether criminal investigations are warranted.
- Rowley’s push follows ITV News publishing a photo showing Andrew with Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson in bathrobes, as multiple UK forces examine millions of pages from the Epstein files.
- Andrew was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office and released after questioning, and he denies wrongdoing while no charges have been filed.
- York councillors have scheduled a March 26 special meeting to vote on revoking Sarah Ferguson’s Freedom of the City of York, citing her documented contacts with Epstein.
- Media reports depict Prince William taking a hard line on distancing the family from Andrew, and a Channel 5 lip‑reading documentary claims—without independent verification—that Andrew asked William for forgiveness at a 2025 funeral.
