British police are assessing a complaint that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, sent confidential trade reports to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The inquiry by Thames Valley Police was launched after news reports revealed emails suggesting Andrew shared reports from his 2010 Southeast Asia tour as Britain’s envoy for international trade with Epstein. The emails, part of a larger release of documents by the US Justice Department, also appear to show Andrew sharing his itinerary with Epstein. Buckingham Palace stated that King Charles III will "support" the police investigation. The police confirmed they are assessing the information following a complaint from an anti-monarchy campaigner.
