British police, specifically Thames Valley Police, are currently assessing a complaint alleging that Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, may have shared confidential government and trade information with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The inquiry was triggered by newly released U.S. Department of Justice documents showing email exchanges from 2010, while Andrew was serving as a UK trade envoy, in which he appears to have forwarded official reports on trade missions — including sensitive commercial and investment data — to Epstein shortly after receiving them. These actions have prompted a complaint from anti-monarchy campaigners alleging misconduct in public office and potential breaches of Britain’s Official Secrets Act. Thames Valley Police have confirmed they are “assessing the information in line with our established procedures” and have held discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether the case should advance into a full criminal investigation. Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has stated that King Charles III and the royal family will support and cooperate with any legitimate police inquiry into the matter, and senior royals including Prince William and Princess Catherine have expressed deep concern over the ongoing revelations.
The scope of the police inquiry extends beyond the alleged transmission of confidential trade reports: reports suggest authorities are also examining broader aspects of Andrew’s relationship with Epstein, including claims regarding how that relationship persisted after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. The inquiry remains in its early phases, with no formal charges filed yet, but the involvement of prosecutors and senior investigators underscores its seriousness. Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles and duties in 2025 amid longstanding criticism over his ties to Epstein, denies wrongdoing, and the police have not committed to a timeline for a decision on whether to launch a formal investigation. The developments have intensified public scrutiny of both the former royal’s conduct and the wider implications of the Epstein files for British public figures.
