Britain's Metropolitan Police has decided not to launch a criminal investigation into reports that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his taxpayer-funded bodyguard to dig up dirt on Virginia Giuffre.

In October, The Mail On Sunday claimed the former prince passed Ms Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number to his close protection officer in 2011, and asked him to investigate as part of a smear campaign against his accuser.
