Here's our correspondent, Helena Wilkinson.
In October, the Mail on Sunday alleged it had seen emails in 2011 which the former prince had sent to Jeffrey Epstein and Queen Elizabeth's Deputy Press Secretary, Ed Perkins.
The paper claimed that in the messages he wrote that Virginia Dufresne had a criminal record in the US and that he had given her date of birth and social security number to his on-duty personal protection officer.
It was alleged that he was trying to dig up dirt on his accuser
ahead of the publication of a photograph showing him with his arm around Miss Dufresne.
She took her own life earlier this year and was one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accusers.
The police said in a statement it had carried out an assessment of the newspaper claims, which hadn't revealed any evidence of criminal acts or misconduct.
Scotland Yard said should new and relevant information be brought to its attention, including in the release of material in the US, it would assess it.
This is a reference to the images and documents being published about Epstein by congressional Democrats.
The statement means that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor will not face any police action over the paper's claims.
The family of Virginia Dufresne expressed their deep disappointment and said the investigation had been dropped without explanation and without speaking to them.
Local residents trying to stop their natural resources being plundered by outsiders.
No, this isn't another environment story, or at least not an earthly one.
It is instead the third film in the Avatar series, which is about to come out in cinemas.
Each instalment in this sci-fi franchise has taken years to make.
And the same is true of the soundtrack.
According to the film's composer, Simon Franklin, it occupied seven years of his life, he told our music correspondent, Mark Savage.
There's a little over three hours of music in the film.
The copyist told me that I had done 1,907 pages of a conducting score.
How does that compare to a typical Hollywood movie?
