The police have confirmed a review will take place regarding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s links with Jeffrey Epstein in a major update.
Allegations have been made that Epstein provided Andrew with a woman to have sex with at the Royal Lodge in 2010.
The woman has claimed she spent the night at the then-prince’s residence in Windsor, her US lawyer, Brad Edwards, said after the allegations surfaced over the weekend.
The woman, who is not British, was in her 20s at the time and was later given a tour of Buckingham Palace, it is further alleged.
A Thames Valley police spokesman told the Guardian: “We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes. We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures.
“We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley police by either the lawyer [of the woman] or their client.”
Thames Valley Police are looking at the case as the Royal Lodge is in the area of their force.
The review does not necessarily mean a criminal investigation will take place.
Andrew has always denied wrongdoing.
