LONDON — Britain’s Metropolitan Police are “actively looking into” reports that Prince Andrew tried to obtain personal information about his accuser Virginia Giuffre, a spokesperson for the force told NBC News on Sunday.

Giuffre, who died by suicide in April at the age of 41, had alleged that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to his powerful friends, including Andrew, against whom she filed a lawsuit in 2021 alleging that he sexually abused her when she was 17.

British newspaper the Mail on Sunday reported that Andrew asked his police protection officer to investigate Giuffre before a photo was published in February 2011, showing Andrew with his arm around Giuffre. The newspaper cited an email reportedly containing a request from Andrew, not seen by NBC News...

"Small bills"??
What are "big bills" I wonder?
Did she ever work?
I seem to remember she was the author of some books for children.
Or maybe my memory plays tricks.

With such background and education
one can find a nice and interesting career to lead fulfilling life and... pay bills.

Fergie was a spokesperson for Weight Watchers for a while. I'm sure she was compensated for commercials and speaking engagements, but I don't know how long she remained in the position.

The photograph, in which she poses in front of a post-Impressionist painting at Maxwell's home, was reproduced around the world after it was published by The Mail on Sunday on February 27, 2011.

It was the beginning of a scandal that lasted more than a decade before culminating last week when Andrew agreed to pay her a reported £12 million settlement.

As I remember correctly
the photo was given to FBI agents by Virginia when they contacted her after she left to marry an Australian guy.

Yep.
I found it.
From 2022

Quote:

"During that deposition, Giuffre said she had lent the picture to the FBI in 2011 but had last seen it before she packed up her home to emigrate.
It might, she said, be in her home, in storage at her in-laws’ or with 'seven boxes full of Nerf guns, my kids’ toys, photos'."

The image with ‘no innocent explanation’, showing Giuffre with the duke and Ghislaine Maxwell, was taken by Jeffrey Epstein

Thanks. I remember when the photo first appeared in news coverage, but it occurs to me how that happened hasn't been much of a discussion topic (or I have forgotten it).

It may be on the Epstein thread.

So JE said he bankrolled SF for 15 years in a 2011 email.
Back to 1996.
The year she and PA were divorced.

Yes, that's the kind of info I like. Timelines are useful! Thanks for pointing that out.
