The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has ended its long-running investigation into Prince Andrew’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a leaked agency memo reported on 10 July. The document states that the bureau is closing its review of "uncharged third parties," confirming that no criminal charges will be brought against the Duke of York or other high-profile Epstein associates. The decision removes the legal cloud that has restricted the 65-year-old prince’s movements since 2019. Advisers say Andrew, who earned the nickname "Air Miles Andy" for his frequent foreign trips as a U.K. trade envoy, limited himself to a single overseas journey—to Bahrain in 2022—while the inquiry was pending. With the case now closed, he is free to resume international travel without fear of arrest or subpoenas. U.S. prosecutors first sought Andrew’s cooperation in 2020, focusing on allegations by Virginia Giuffre that he sexually abused her when she was a minor trafficked by Epstein. Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing and reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in February 2022 without admitting liability. The memo further notes that investigators found no corroborating evidence of a rumored Epstein “client list,” and that no additional interviews or charges are expected. The bureau said its review of remaining materials is complete and the matter is now considered closed.
