British police investigating former Prince Andrew plan to journey to the United States to interview the family of Virginia Giuffre, his long-term accuser who has now passed away, according to recent reports.
Thames Valley Police, the department tasked with probing Andrew’s alleged sexual offenses, are preparing to visit the US soon. Their objective is to speak with Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, and his wife, Amanda, as reported by the Times of London.
The Giuffre family has expressed optimism, noting that Thames Valley Police have shown considerable initiative in delving into the accusations against the former royal, as detailed in the Times.
The officers have already requested access to case files and aim to engage with some of Andrew’s former bodyguards, the report added.
However, the discussions with Sky and Amanda will not be formal interviews, as they are not regarded as 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.
