20.10.2025 โข The Day Prince Andrew's Pressure on Giuffre Intensified
โจUK media continued its extensive focus on Prince Andrew throughout the day, with early reports discussing a Met Police investigation into claims he pressured a bodyguard for information on Virginia Giuffre. This built on previous days' revelations of his alleged smear campaign. Later, reports detailed his mention 88 times in Giuffre's posthumous memoir, and claims that his team attempted to hire internet trolls against her. By the evening, Buckingham Palace acknowledged "serious and grave concern" over new allegations against Andrew, and it was reported he had not paid rent on Royal Lodge for two decades, intensifying pressure for him to be stripped of remaining titles. Separately, a major internet outage affecting Amazon services garnered significant attention before showing signs of recovery.
