“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”

“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course,” Charles continued. “As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”

New Epstein Documents and Trade Allegations

Andrew’s arrest follows the release of additional documents by the Department of Justice last week, which shed further light on his links to Epstein.

According to the files, Andrew — who served as the UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 until 2011 — allegedly sent Epstein reports concerning official visits to Vietnam and Singapore in 2010.

Under the Official Secrets Act, trade envoys are required to keep details of such trips confidential, even after leaving the role.

Anti-monarchy activist Graham Smith reported the alleged misconduct to police, who confirmed they were “assessing” the serious claims.
