The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office earlier this year, and released on bail.
And it emerged in May that detectives investigating Andrew will consider allegations of sexual misconduct in their inquiry into potential offences.
Andrew served as the UK's special representative for international trade and investment from 2001 until 2011, when he stepped down amid controversy over his friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Ms Giuffre accused Andrew of sexual assault - which he has vehemently denied. She took her own life in 2025, aged 41.
A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: "Our misconduct in public office investigation is ongoing. We cannot go into specifics of the investigation, but we are following all reasonable lines of enquiry."
Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on February 19, and was interviewed under caution before being released under investigation.

The legal definition of the offence can include a wide range of conduct, including sharing confidential financial information, financial misconduct, wilful neglect of duty and sexual misconduct.
Andrew has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
Searches were also carried out at his former homes in Windsor and Norfolk. Detectives are understood to be working through evidence recovered during the operation.
The investigation was prompted by the release in the US of the FBI's Epstein files in January.
Ward, 28, was accused of raping a woman in the back of a Mercedes after meeting her outside a New Year's party in east London in January 2023.
He had denied two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration, and one count of sexual assault. The jury unanimously found him not guilty of all charges on Friday.
The actor became emotional as each count was read out, bursting into tears as he was cleared of all charges. There were shouts of relief from his family and friends in the public gallery.
Ward was helped from the courtroom by his defence lawyer.
The trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court had lasted two weeks, with the jury taking five hours and 25 minutes to make their decision.
When asked during the trial what he thought about the encounter, Ward had said: "Everything we did was wholly consensual."
He told the court he believed they were both "having a great time" and that they had a "mutual attraction".
He said: "We engaged in consensual sex, had a great time and she was actively participating in what we were doing all the time."
Ward's life and career 'put on hold' for three and a half years
Speaking outside the court, Ward's solicitor Humzah Ilyas said the case had had a "profound impact" on the actor, but that he was "looking forward to getting back to doing the work he loves".
He said in a statement: "Micheal Ward is enormously grateful to the members of the jury for taking the time to examine the evidence in this case with such care. As he maintained throughout this case, this was a consensual sexual encounter. The jury agreed and cleared him of all wrongdoing.
"It has been three and a half years since the police started investigating this matter, during which time Micheal's life, as well as his successful career, has been put on hold. This has, inevitably, had a profound impact on him and those closest to him.
"Micheal is thankful this process has now reached a conclusion. He looks forward to getting back to the work he loves and focusing on the future."
Mr Ilyas added: "As he starts to rebuild his life, Micheal would like to acknowledge those who have experienced sexual violence and abuse. They deserve to be heard, treated with compassion, and have their allegations taken seriously."
He said Ward, who stood next to his solicitor as the statement was read out and appeared emotional throughout, was also thankful to God and his family.
Influencer thrown out of court earlier in trial
Following the not guilty verdict, it emerged that earlier in the trial, a social media influencer had been kicked out of the courtroom and threatened with contempt of court.
Murad Merali, a content creator who boasts more than half a million followers on platforms including YouTube and TikTok, was confronted in court on 3 July by Judge Rosa Dean, the Recorder of Redbridge, who told the YouTuber to delete his posts and then ordered him to "leave the building". The Attorney General's Office is not believed to be taking any further action.
Ward is best known for playing London drug dealer Jamie in the critically acclaimed Netflix series Top Boy.
He was given the BAFTA rising star award in 2020 and has appeared in several films, including Blue Story and Sam Mendes' film Empire of Light.
Born in Jamaica, Ward moved to east London as a young child. He was brought up along with his three sisters by his mother, after his father died in a car crash when he was two years old.
The flight from to Memmingen airport in Germany had to make an emergency landing at Thessaloniki in Greece shortly after take-off on Friday.
Local media in Greece reported that a piece of engine broke off and smashed a window, causing the cabin to decompress and sucking one passenger partially out of the window.
Two industry sources confirmed to Reuters news agency that the passenger was partially sucked out of a window after a jet window was "dislodged".
Videos posted on social media from the inside of the plane showed a broken window and oxygen masks dangling from
the ceiling.

Ryanair said in a statement that the plane had to emergency land "when a passenger window dislodged inflight".
"The aircraft landed normally and passengers returned to the terminal," the statement added.
"One passenger requested and received medical assistance on the ground in Thessaloniki.
"In order to minimise any delay, a replacement aircraft was arranged to bring passengers to Memmingen."
The Scottish SPCA were called to the scene after a member of the public spotted the trapped male cub in Glasgow.
They were unable to catch the creature at first because he kept retreating into his den.
A day later, the team caught him and took the fox to Glasgow's Small Animal Hospital.
It is understood his head had been trapped inside the bottle for nearly days by the time he was rescued.
The fox, estimated to be around 12 weeks old, was kept overnight and transported to the Scottish SPCA's National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Clackmannanshire the following day.
The Scottish SPCA has since warned of the threats litter can pose to wildlife.

Animal rescue officer Ella Mackenzie said: "This fox was incredibly fortunate. Had we not managed to catch him, the injuries caused by the bottle could have become life-threatening.
"Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident. Every year, we see wild animals injured, trapped or killed by discarded litter.
"Something as simple as taking your rubbish home or disposing of it properly can prevent animals suffering in this way."
The officer was fatally injured as she was responding to a collision near Cramlington, Northumberland, late on the night of Monday 8 June.
Police and paramedics treated her at the scene before she was taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle. She died two days later.
PC Turnbull had joined Northumbria Police last September, following her father into working for the force.
On Friday, she was given full police honours during her funeral at Newcastle Cathedral, with hundreds of officers from different forces gathering during the procession of her coffin.
PC Turnbull's coffin, draped in a union flag, was carried into the church by uniformed officers. Her hat was placed on top of the coffin as it was carried through the main door.
Her parents, Janice and Andy, then followed the coffin into the church.
In a statement following the funeral, PC Turnbull's parents said that "throughout the most difficult time of our lives, we have been overwhelmed by the kindness, compassion and support shown to us".
"The messages, tributes, and acts of kindness have brought great comfort to our family," they added.
"The full ceremonial honours afforded to Jess and our family were incredibly moving and provided great comfort during an unimaginably difficult time.
"To see the respect shown, and to feel the strength and support of the police family around us, is something we will never forget."

"Jess made the ultimate sacrifice in serving our communities and it was an honour to be able to recognise her commitment and dedication to public service with a full ceremonial policing funeral."
Northumbria Police also said that PC Turnbull's name has been added to the force's memorial at its Wallsend headquarters.
It comes as officers continue to investigate the collision.
Northumbria Police said in a statement that a 73-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He was subsequently further arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He remains on police bail.
