UK police said Friday that no investigation has been launched into Prince Andrew after an anti-monarchy group filed a complaint based on recently released US court documents detailing people linked to accused sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Republic, a British group that wants an elected British head of state instead of a monarch, said in a statement on Thursday that “we’ve just reported Andrew to the police.”
Opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer, a former chief state prosecutor, also said Friday that police should “look at” the new claims.
But the Metropolitan Police said Friday that “no investigation has been launched”.
“We are aware of the release of court documents in relation to Jeffrey Epstein,” it said in a statement.
“As with any matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention we will assess it,” added the force.
