Thames Valley Police are conducting an extensive investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, also known as the former Prince Andrew, focusing on allegations of sexual misconduct, corruption, and fraud linked to his role as a British trade envoy. The investigation intensified following claims that he passed confidential information to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, was arrested in February 2023 and has denied all allegations against him. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright emphasized the complexity of the investigation, which encompasses various forms of misconduct in public office (MIPO), including sexual misconduct and fraudulent conduct. The police are particularly interested in gathering information from witnesses, urging anyone with relevant details to contact them. They have already begun to collect evidence from the royal household and government departments regarding the expectations of Mountbatten-Windsor’s trade envoy role. Additionally, police are assessing a claim from a woman in the US who alleges she was taken to Windsor for sexual purposes in 2010. The investigation is expected to be lengthy, with potential criminal trials not anticipated until 2027, pending the collection of sufficient evidence. Obtaining original documents from the US Department of Justice related to Epstein remains a critical aspect of the investigation.
