Prince Andrew sought to obtain personal information about his accuser Virginia Giuffre through his police protection in 2011, according to new media reports.

It comes after Ms Giuffre’s brother called on King Charles III to strip Andrew of his “prince” title, following the announcement he would stop using his other titles.

Ms Giuffre said she was among the girls and young women sexually exploited by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his wealthy circle.

The Metropolitan Police said on Sunday it was “actively looking into the claims”. Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment.

Prince Andrew has not commented on thereports, but consistently deniesall allegations against him.

Ms Giuffre, who took her own life earlier this year, claimed that she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three occasions, including when she was 17.

According to the Mail on Sunday, Andrew asked his police protection to investigate her just before the newspaper published a photo of Ms Giuffre’s first meeting with the prince in February 2011.

The paper alleged that he gave the officer her date of birth and confidential social security number.

The Sunday Telegraph also claimed that Andrew “sought to dig up dirt” on Ms Giuffre.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Times reported that the Prince of Wales, William, was “not satisfied” with Andrew’s decision to relinquish his titles – and would take a more ruthless approach, including a ban on his uncle attending his future coronation.

The prince has been under increasing pressure over his links with sex offender Epstein, with calls for Buckingham Palace to take action against him.

On Friday, Andrew announced that he was voluntarily handing back his titles and giving up membership of the Order of the Garter – the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in Britain.

He will also cease to be the Duke of York, a title received from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
