Police are examining allegations that, while serving as a British trade envoy, he shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein; Andrew has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Police Scotland separately confirmed active, early-stage inquiries tied to information about Andrew and Epstein at Balmoral, though it would not say whether Andrew is the investigation's target.
Andrew also faces a witness summons in a London civil fraud case over a 750,000-pound payment arranged in 2019, a rare move involving a royal family member.
The pressure comes after King Charles stripped Andrew of his remaining royal titles in 2025, leaving Buckingham Palace to say it does not speak on his behalf.
