Police Investigate Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Over Alleged Sexual Misconduct and Corruption in Public Office

Police are assessing sexual offence claims and a woman’s allegation that she was trafficked to Royal Lodge for sex in 2010.

  • Thames Valley detectives are investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for potential misconduct in public office, including sexual misconduct and corruption, following his February arrest on his 66th birthday.
  • The investigation stems from his 2010-11 tenure as trade envoy, when he allegedly forwarded confidential reports on visits to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam to Jeffrey Epstein; newly released files show Queen Elizabeth pressed for Andrew to be given the role.
  • Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said there are a "number of aspects of alleged misconduct that the investigation is examining," including claims that a woman was trafficked to the UK by Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew.
  • Detectives are working to secure evidence showing Andrew met the definition of a "public official" during his envoy role, seeking advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, while the King has pledged royal cooperation with the investigation.
  • The royal family has been dogged for more than 15 years by allegations regarding Andrew's relationship with Epstein; Wright stated that "whenever a victim survivor is ready to engage with us, we're ready for you.
