Police quiz Andrew’s protection officers over Epstein links
Metropolitan Police are questioning royal protection officers about possible misconduct and use of London airports in human trafficking linked to Jeffrey Epstein, amid ongoing investigations.
- On Thursday, Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office after allegations tied to Epstein files; he was released after 11 hours in custody, and searches at Royal Lodge continued on Friday.
- Last month, US Department of Justice emails appeared to show Mountbatten-Windsor sharing reports, prompting his arrest Thursday on misconduct suspicion.
- Detectives have asked Andrew's former close protection officers to consider whether anything they saw or heard is relevant, while the Metropolitan Police work with US counterparts to examine London airports.
- Keir Starmer's government will consider legislation once police finish their investigation, as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains eighth in line and requires an Act of Parliament and international agreement to be removed from succession.
- The CPS two-stage test requires assessing realistic prospects of conviction and public interest, while Thames Valley Police have yet to receive early investigative advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.
