THE Met Police has announced it will drop the investigation into Prince Andrew amid allegations of sex abuse by the Duke of York.
Virginia Giuffre is suing the Queen’s son for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager.
She claims she was trafficked by Epstein, the duke’s former friend, to have sex with Andrew in London when she was aged 17 and a minor under US law.
The duke has denied all the allegations.
