Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is not the only one facing close scrutiny as the royal family has received a major update on the ongoing investigation into the ex-prince’s shady activities.
King Charles’ office made clear in a statement last week that if Thames Valley Police approached the palace they would be supported in the investigation as planned.
Andrew has been linked to sharing classified state information with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his involvement in sex trafficking activities. Although there have been concerns about the integrity of the investigation, given its ties to the royal family, a senior prosecutor dismissed those concerns in a major statement.
“No one is above the law,” said Stephen Parkinson, director of public prosecutions. Sunday time. “It is my job to enforce the law and I do so without fear or favor, and it is not affected by the status of the person involved.”
He added: “I have complete confidence in the police, that they carry out their function independently. »
In the Epstein files, one of Andrew’s emails indicated that he passed confidential files to Epstein in November 2010, just five minutes after receiving them from his team. At the time he was the UK’s trade envoy and had met politicians in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam.
New revelations revealed that David Stern, the German businessman who once described Epstein as his “boss”, traveled with Andrew on a “government-funded trade mission in October 2010”. During the trip, messages were even exchanged on Skype with Epstein.
Leaking state reports is a criminal offense and can result in a prison sentence. The royal family must be ready if justice is served as soon as the investigation gathers pace.
