“The document makes clear that, while in London, an individual was forced to have sexual relations with Andrew when she was a minor,” Republic said in a statement published on X.
“That is why today Republic is reporting Andrew to the police, demanding that the Met investigate these allegations.”
“It’s simple: royalty should not be above the law. Allegations of criminality should always be thoroughly investigated. THIS IS WHY THE MET MUST ACT.”
