The move followed the release of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous tell-all memoir, Nobody’s Girl, which marked the first time she has spoken publicly since reaching an out-of-court settlement in a sexual assault lawsuit against Andrew in 2022.
In addition, newly-released documents shed more light on Andrew and Epstein’s relationship, including a 2011 email in which Andrew told him, “We are in this together.”
“I’m just as concerned for you!” he reportedly wrote. “Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it.”
The email was dated one day after a photo of Andrew with his arm around Giuffre was published by The Mail on Sunday in the U.K.

William has been reported to be holding a grudge against Andrew over his past treatment of his wife, Kate Middleton.
“Differences between monarch and heir do remain, especially when it comes to the Prince Andrew scandal,” journalist Richard Kay told Daily Mail in August 2024. “William has long held a grudge against Andrew for being unwelcoming when he first introduced the then Kate Middleton to the royal family and feels that his father has been too soft on him.”
