In August 2019, 19-year-old Harry Dunn was killed in a motorcycle collision near RAF Croughton, Northamptonshire, when a car driven by Anne Sacoolas — the wife of a U.S. intelligence official stationed at the base — crossed into the wrong lane. Sacoolas claimed diplomatic immunity and fled back to the U.S., sparking a major diplomatic row between the UK and U.S. over extradition and accountability. Harry’s family sought justice and attempted to use high-level leverage — including linking Sacoolas’s return to the UK with the U.S. questioning of Prince Andrew — but no formal exchange deal was made.
Separately, Prince Andrew’s name has been engulfed in scandal due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, allegations of sexual misconduct raised by victim Virginia Giuffre — who claimed she was trafficked and forced into sex with him when 17 — and his publicly disastrous BBC interview in 2019. He categorically denies the allegations, but the legal, royal and public fallout has been intense: he stepped back from public duties in 2020, faced a U.S. civil lawsuit which was settled out of court in 2022, and his UK military affiliations and royal patronages were removed.
