UK police assess claims ex-Prince Andrew sent sensitive trade records to Epstein

British police said they were examining claims that the former Prince Andrew sent confidential trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein, as Prince William’s office said he was “deeply concerned’’ about the revelations coming out of the US investigation into the late sex offender.Thames Valley Police, which serves areas west of London, including the ex-royal’s former home in Windsor, launched the inquiry after news organisations reported on emails that suggest Andrew sent Epstein reports from a 2010 tour of Southeast Asia he took as Britain’s envoy for international trade.Buckingham Palace said King Charles is “ready to support” the police if approached over the claims.An antimonarchy campaigner said he reported the former prince for suspected misconduct in public office and breaches of Britain’s Official Secrets Act as a result of the emails, which were among the more than 3 million pages of documents released last month by the US Justice Department.“We can confirm receipt of this report and are assessing the information in line with our established procedures,” the police force said in a statement.King Charles last year stripped his 65-year-old brother of his royal titles after earlier revelations about his relationship with Epstein.
