Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will not face a criminal investigation over claims he asked his taxpayer-funded bodyguard to investigate his accuser, Virginia Guiffre.
The Metropolitan Police announced they would not launch an inquiry after assessing the allegations.
Reports suggested the royal passed Ms Guiffre’s date of birth and social security number to his protection officer in 2011, requesting information on her.
These claims emerged from a series of leaked emails seen by the Mail on Sunday.
Central Specialist Crime Commander Ella Marriott confirmed the force's decision not to proceed with an investigation.
