Prince Andrew Under Fire as Leaked Emails Raise Concerns Over Inquiry into Taxpayer-Funded Bodyguard's Alleged Search for Information on Virginia Giuffre
The Metropolitan police are investigating claims that Prince Andrew, a former royal, asked his close protection officer to uncover information about Virginia Giuffre just hours before a bombshell picture of them together was published in 2011. According to leaked emails, the prince allegedly passed Giuffre's date of birth and confidential US social security number to his bodyguard, Ed Perkins, who worked as the queen's deputy press secretary at the time.
The government has expressed concern over the allegations, with energy secretary Ed Miliband stating that they should be thoroughly investigated. "It was absolutely not the way that close protection officers should be used," he said in a statement. The emails in question suggest that Andrew believed Giuffre had a criminal record in the US and claimed she had been trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The publication of these emails comes as Prince Andrew faces growing pressure over his association with Epstein, including reports of him being introduced to another one of the financier's victims. The prince has already relinquished his royal titles and ceased to be a working royal. However, there are still concerns that he will retain his dukedom and title of prince, which could only be changed through an act of parliament.
Giuffre's family has renewed calls for Charles, the king, to strip Andrew of his title as "prince," with her brother stating that anyone implicated in such abuses should have some form of accountability. The government remains tight-lipped about their stance on this matter, but it is clear that Prince Andrew's name continues to be synonymous with controversy and scandal.

I'm so done with the drama surrounding Prince Andrew 
. Like, come on, dude, you're trying to downplay your friendship with Epstein, and now these leaked emails are showing that you were really involved with Virginia Giuffre's life too much? It's just so sketchy 
. And can we talk about how the government is being super vague about their stance on this whole thing? It's like they're trying to sweep it under the rug 
. Anyway, I'm team #JusticeForGiuffre all the way 
- she deserves some serious accountability for what happened to her. And let's be real, if anyone should lose a title, it's Prince Andrew 
. He needs to own up to his mistakes and face the consequences 
.
. I hope they investigate these claims and maybe strip him of that title. We don't need some prince walking around with a title if he's gonna be a human trafficker 
.
... like, i'm all for accountability and transparency, you know? the fact that he passed giuffre's personal info to his bodyguard is just crazy talk 
. and now ed miliband is speaking out about it, which is awesome. i think it's time for charles to step in and do the right thing - if anyone's implicated in something like this, they should be held accountable 
. prince andrew's already stepped down from royal duties, but it's still not enough... he needs to lose his title too 
. it's just sad that people have to go through this kind of trauma, and the fact that we're still finding out about these new allegations is just frustrating 
Asking his bodyguard to dig up info on a woman he just met, especially when she's been through so much trauma... it's just sad. 
And what really gets me is how this whole thing has overshadowed the real victims of Epstein's abuse... I wish we could focus more on their stories instead of Prince Andrew's controversies. 
. I'm not surprised the energy secretary is calling for an investigation - it's about time something gets done about this whole Epstein scandal. But honestly, it feels like we're just seeing more and more evidence of Prince Andrew's questionable behavior 
.
. These leaked emails are like, totally concerning... Prince Andrew thinks he can just get his hands on someone's SSN and use his bodyguard to dig up info on them? No thanks 
. I mean, the guy already gave up his royal titles... why can't he just leave the dukedom behind too? 
. Newsflash: the public is not buying it 
. I mean, come on, Prince Andrew asking his bodyguard to dig up dirt on Virginia Giuffre? That's just low. And now we've got these leaked emails that suggest he was trying to cover his tracks by passing her social security number and all this other nonsense. It's like he thought he could just sweep it under the rug and move on with his life. But the thing is, Prince Andrew has been dodging accountability for years, and it's about time someone held him accountable.
.
.
This is just fishy to me. 
Shouldn't we be focusing on the real issue here which is Epstein's crimes? 
Where's the proof? 
. It's wild to think that Prince Andrew was essentially using his close protection officer to dig up dirt on Virginia Giuffre just days before a photo of them together was published. The fact that he shared her social security number with his bodyguard is just...no 
think this whole thing is super messy - like a big tangled web. Prince Andrew's got some major brownie points going against him right now
