The Metropolitan Police in Britain has launched preliminary investigations into the conduct of former bodyguards of Prince Andrew, following allegations that they may have deliberately ignored criminal activities during visits to Jeffrey Epstein's island, "Little St. James." These investigations stem from claims made by a former senior Met officer to LBC, suggesting that members of the Royalty and Specialist Protection (RaSP) unit might have been too close to their protectee and feared repercussions for criticism. While the Metropolitan Police has stated no misconduct has been found yet, these inquiries are part of a broader, nationwide effort across the UK to examine connections to the Epstein network, with various police forces reviewing flight logs and investigating allegations of witness tampering and human trafficking. The National Police Chiefs' Council has established a national coordination group to manage the complex task of sifting through millions of documents and clarifying international jurisdictions, a process expected to take years.
