Virginia Giuffre's family said they are "deeply disappointed" by the Metropolitan Police's decision not to investigate claims Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his taxpayer-funded bodyguard to dig up dirt on her.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will not face a criminal investigation over claims he asked his taxpayer-funded bodyguard to investigate his accuser, Virginia Guiffre.

He reportedly passed Ms Giuffre's date of birth and social security number to his taxpayer-funded bodyguard in 2011 and emailed the late Queen's then-deputy press secretary telling him of his request.
