The FBI concluded its investigation in 2025, determining that neither Prince Andrew nor any other associates of Jeffrey Epstein will face criminal charges. This closure came after an extensive internal review initiated by DOJ and FBI leaders appointed under the Trump administration, occurring amidst prolonged public debate and increasing political scrutiny.
Prince Andrew, accused of sexual abuse by Virginia Giuffre in civil filings, denied all wrongdoing and settled the 2022 lawsuit without admitting guilt. An FBI memo stated there was no evidence Epstein kept a client list or blackmailed powerful figures, prompting royal biographer Nigel Cawthorne to say Andrew can now ‘breathe a sigh of relief.”
Without the investigation looming, Andrew is reportedly free to travel again, but victims condemned the case’s end as ‘disgraceful and degrading’ for failing to hold offenders accountable.
