Met Police Probe Into Prince Andrew Protection Team Over Epstein Island Claims

London’s Metropolitan Police say they are conducting initial inquiries into allegations about Prince Andrew’s close-protection officers after a former RaSP member claimed the protection team may have turned a blind eye during visits to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little St James. The force says no wrongdoing has been identified yet and aims to establish the facts, with the possibility of the IOPC taking over if concerns emerge. The report also notes Andrew’s denial of wrongdoing and a prior settlement with Virginia Giuffre, while other UK forces review Epstein-related allegations and the NPCC coordinates a national response to the large volume of documents.

Court upholds Met Police Freemason membership disclosure policy

The High Court has dismissed a challenge to the Metropolitan Police's internal policy requiring staff to declare Freemason membership, ruling the measure lawful, proportionate and non-discriminatory as it protects public trust. The disclosure is internal, with only a small number of staff having access to the list, and about 400 declarations have been made so far, despite objections from Freemason groups and rights advocates.
