Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor isn’t the only one under intense scrutiny as the royal family received an important update on the ongoing investigation into the ex-prince’s shady activities.
King Charles’ office had made it clear in a statement last week that if the palace was contacted by Thames Valley Police, they would be supported with the investigation as expected.
Andrew has been linked to sharing classified government information with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and being involved in sex trafficking. While there have been concerns about the integrity of the investigation, given the connection to the royal family, a top prosecutor dismissed the concerns with a key statement.
“No one is above the law,” said Stephen Parkinson, the director of public prosecutions Sunday Times. “It’s my job to enforce the law, and I do it without fear or favor, and it’s unaffected by the status of the person in question.”
He added: “I have full confidence in the police to carry out their function independently.”
In the Epstein files, one of the emails from Andrew indicated that he had forwarded confidential files to Epstein in November 2010 just five minutes after receiving them from his team. At the time, he was Britain’s trade envoy and had met politicians in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam.
In new revelations, it emerged that David Stern, the German businessman who once described Epstein as his “boss”, had traveled with Andrew on a “government-funded trade mission in October 2010”. During the trip, messages were even exchanged over Skype with Epstein.
Leaking government reports is a criminal offense and can land you in jail. The royal family should be prepared if justice is served as soon as the investigation gathers pace.
