British police 'assessing' claims former Prince Andrew shared sensitive reports with Epstein
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
British police are looking into a claim that former Prince Andrew shared confidential trade documents with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a U.K. trade envoy.
Thames Valley Police, which serves the area west of London, including Windsor, one of the British royal family's residences, said it was assessing new allegations against the younger brother of King Charles III.
"We can confirm receipt of this report and are assessing the information in line with our established procedures," the police said in a statement.
The recent release by the Justice Department of millions of documents related to Epstein has intensified a storm that has raged around the former prince, now known simply asAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and his relationship with the convicted sex offender.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said in a statement later Monday that if approached by police, the king was "ready to support them as you would expect." Charles "has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct," the spokesperson said, adding that "Their Majesties' thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse."
Prince William and Princess Kate also spoke out. "I can confirm The Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focused on the victims," a Kensington Palace spokesperson told journalists Monday.
According to Republic, an anti-monarchy organization, it has instructed lawyers to "consider a private prosecution against Andrew over allegations of sexual assault, corruption and misconduct in public office."

At the center of the latest controversy is an email exchange from Nov. 30, 2010, from the latest release of Epstein files.
The email chain,seen by NBC News, appears to show the former prince forwarding to Epstein "visit reports for Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shenzhen" in relation to the royal's recent visit to Southeast Asia.
The email from Amit Patel, who signed as the special adviser to the then-Duke of York,appeared to contain an attached doc file and was forwarded to Epstein within five minutes of receipt, the documents show. NBC News could not confirm what exactly was in the documents attached titled
Trade envoys are usually barred from sharing sensitive or commercial documents under confidentiality rules.
The November 2010 email isn't the only one that references Mountbatten-Windsor's trips abroad. In a September 2010 email, David Stern, an aide to then-prince, tells Epstein that Mountbatten-Windsor was planning a trip to Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Then, in October 2010, Stern messaged Epstein via Skype, "Back in hong kong from Shenzhen." NBC News has not been able to reach Stern for comment.
Queen Elizabeth II's second son was the United Kingdom's special representative for international trade and investmentfrom 2001 to 2011. The U.K. Department for Business and Trade told NBC News that it is ready to help police assess the allegations. He was stripped of his royal titleslast year and has become estranged from the royal family over his ties to Epstein.
One of the most prominent survivors of Epstein's sexual abuse, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, had alleged that the financier trafficked her to his powerful friends, including Andrew, against whom she filed a lawsuit in 2021 alleging that the former prince sexually abused her when she was 17.
Mountbatten-Windsor has denied having had sex with Giuffre. He stepped back from active royal duties in 2019 amid the controversy and reached a legal settlement with Giuffre for an undisclosed amount in 2022.
Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to his affiliation with Epstein. NBC News has reached out to his office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Would the UK prosecute this as treason? He was in an official government capacity when it happened
wow the King really turned his back on his younger brother, didn't he?
All as Repubs protect our pedoinchief

[✘] The problem with these files is that they are full of unsubstantiated allegations.
Yepperz, Trump and or the Trump name is mentioned 37,000 plus times, and were all so sure they are all
"unsubstantiated allegations" ?
Does that even sound the slightest bit feasible to you Vic ?
And there are another 2.5 MILLION more that haven't been released as they were promised, so none of them could be substantiated claims either could they ?
Do U not see how stupid that argument sounds Vic ?
Face it, you fckd up believing Trump and the Repubs.
Time to see the light , dontcha think...?
Yes, democrats have run the 3 million files through a machine just looking for Trump.
That is all they care about.
and he was found more than any other. The worst is still redacted or unreleased, face it Vic,
Trump is a pedo dick
Would you be shocked if the 'grab them by the pussy' PotUS engaged in exploiting young (even underage) Epstein girls? He does, after all, like them young just like Epstein did.
Wow, just throwing random things together to try and create the implication he committed a crime. Pretty low
Random? Lol
“ I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with . It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side .” - Donald Trump
"You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy . You can do anything." - Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on the private jet of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein eight times between 1993 and 1996 , a new email released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) says.
Trump travelled on Epstein's plane more than previously thought, newly released prosecutor's email says
" Trump’s accuser asserted that while she was exploring a modeling career in 1994, she attended a series of parties at the Manhattan home of prominent investor Jeffrey Epstein. She alleges that during those parties the real estate mogul tied her to a bed and raped her. She also claimed Epstein raped her during that series of gatherings".

All the assault allegations against Donald Trump, recapped | PBS News
It's not 'random things', it's a clear pattern and actual admissions of sexual assault along with dozens of allegations of sexual assault and even accusations of raping a child along with a known pedophile that Trump praised and flew on his jet at least EIGHT times. Trump supporters who just dismiss all this are fucking delusional.
Yeah.. Guilt by innuendo.
Everyone's always picking on poor innocent Donald Trump
I'd be flabbergasted. Merrick Garland had those files for 4 years and if he found anything on Trump, Trump would have at the very least been exposed.
I'll bet everything you have that there is not a thing proving Trump exploited young women in there. What I think is in there is a lot of guilt by association for many powerful people who simply did business or simply hung out with Epstein. Their reputations will be ruined for sure.
Surely you are aware that Merrick Garland was an extremely cautious AG who worked hard to avoid high profile political issues.
Why would you bet that a womanizing narcissist who hung with Epstein for at least 10 years did not act true to his nature?
You do recognize that Trump is an abysmal human being who uses and discards people for his own pleasure, right?
No matter how many times some need to be explained this, it seems that because they repeat it over and over, it must be true.
Absolutely no doubt if there was something debilitating to Trump, it may not have been released a year from the election, but maybe a few months before to have maximum damage. There was absolutely nothing.
This morning, Ted Lieu said that he was going to look at redacted Epstein files before his hearing, and if there were any unredacted names that were redacted, that person might want to come out and explain "before the storm hits".
I agree with this, but I wonder what his response will be if it is nothing but democrats he sees and none of them come out.
My guess is you won't hear from him again.
He didn't ask if there was enough evidence to convict Donald. He was asking about the character of someone saying something like that potentially also exploiting underage girls, especially since he had been accused of raping a 13-year-old along with Epstein in 1994 exactly during the time Trump was listed as a passenger EIGHT times on Epstein's Lolita Express.
I think being "flabbergasted" that someone who admitted on tape that he sexually assaults women also having sexually assaulted underage girls is pretty hilarious. "Yeah, can't imagine such a nice fella that "doesn't even wait" and just grabs women he's attracted to "by the pussy" would ever have done anything wrong with some underage girls. I mean, that would be insane to make that leap of logic! And since he was never convicted of anything, nothing could have ever happened! It's impossible that Trump did something evil and was never punished!". Only someone currently gargling Trumps sack would come up with such a mind numbingly stupid defense.
how is that random when he cited his source? Looks well researched to me. But then again, I did well in writing research papers
I hope he comes out and names all the names especially if they're Democrats. We don't want pedos in our party
royal drama is to be expected, especially with all the inbreeding that's occurred among the european aristocracy in the past ...
Here's an interesting point of view:
There are several obvious conclusions. First of all, the US is in black... but no criminal charges have been brought.
