Andrew told Met to dig up dirt on Virginia Giuffre: Call for police probe as email reveals he procured private data for smear campaign

Prince Andrew embroiled the Metropolitan Police and one of Queen Elizabeth's most senior aides in a campaign to smear his teenage sex accuser, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

A bombshell email obtained by this newspaper exposes how Andrew asked his taxpayer-funded Met bodyguard to investigate Virginia Giuffre and passed him her date of birth and confidential social security number.

Astonishingly, Andrew then told Ed Perkins, Queen Elizabeth's deputy press secretary that he had asked one of his personal protection officers – part of the Met's elite SO14 Royal Protection Group – to dig up information about Ms Giuffre.

He emailed Perkins hours before this newspaper first published the infamous picture of the duke with 17-year-old Ms Giuffre, which would ultimately bring about his downfall.

'It would also seem she has a criminal record in the [United] States,' he wrote. 'I have given her DoB [date of birth] and social security number for investigation with XXX, the on duty ppo [personal protection officer].'
