Cops probing ex-Prince Andrew set to fly to US to interview accuser Virginia Giuffre’s family: reports

UK cops probing former Prince Andrew are set to travel to the US to speak with the family of his now-deceased, longtime accuser Virginia Giuffre, according to reports. 

Officers from Thames Valley Police – the constabulary investigating Andrew for potential sexual offenses – are set to visit the US in the coming weeks to speak with Giuffre’s brother and sister-in-law, Sky and Amanda Roberts, the Times of London reported.

Giuffre’s family believes the constabulary has been “very proactive” when it comes to investigating the allegations leveled against the ex-royal, according to the Times.

Officers have already asked for case files and are likely to speak with Andrew’s former protection officers, the report said.

But it will not be a formal interview as Sky and Amanda are not considered direct witnesses to the allegations. 

It’s not clear if Thames Valley police bosses have received permission from US authorities to carry out an interview. 

A spokesperson for the police force said it was following “all reasonable lines of inquiry,” without delving into the specifics.

Andrew was initially investigated over long-running claims by Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre that she was made to have sex with him three times — starting when she was 17 — on orders from the financier and his madam Ghislaine Maxwell.

Andrew was never charged and has always denied any wrongdoing – but paid her between $14 million and $16 million in an out-of-court settlement in February 2022. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 age 41.

Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday in February, accused of misconduct in public office after allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to Epstein. 

In May, it was reported that the ex-prince was being probed over potential sex crimes at royal residences – including Royal Lodge.

Investigators are keen to speak with a woman, who claimed Epstein sent her to have sex with Andrew at his now-former home Royal Lodge for “sexual purposes” in 2010 when she was in her 20s.

“We hope that anyone with relevant information will come forward whenever they are ready to engage with us; our door is always open,” Oliver Wright, the Assistant Chief Constable, said, confirming the woman had not yet come forward.

“There is a risk that the victim survivors may be put off from contacting us because they feel the weight of public, national and international focus will be too much for them.”

Wright said officers would listen and investigate when “she feels ready and able … to come forward and talk to us.”

It marked the first time an Epstein accuser claimed to have had sex with Andrew at a royal residence.
