UK Government agrees to publish ‘Andrew files’ as MPs attack royal
FILES related to the disgraced former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his position as a UK trade envoy will be published after the UK Government agreed to MPs’ demands.
However, during a Commons debate in which Andrew was widely derided including as “a rude, arrogant and entitled man”, MPs were told the Government is unable to publish material that police need for their inquiries until officers are “satisfied”.
The former duke faces accusations of sharing sensitive information with his paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a special representative for trade and investment between 2001 and 2011. Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from a minor in 2008.
The Erstwhile Ambassador, the Fallen Prince, and the U.S. Epstein Morass
The stunning arrest of the former British ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson will produce a blast radius in the UK that may be even bigger than Jeffrey Epstein’s. If you are drowned by the volume of the Epstein emails, just wait for the leaking of all the Mandy memorabilia, which will undoubtedly include revelations and scuttlebutt from 30 years at the beating heart of British politics. There is no one Mandelson hasn’t advised, conspired with, gossiped with, and, god help us, texted with in his high-flying life as a political homme du monde as much at home on oligarchs’ boats as at dinner parties at Chequers and 3100 Massachusetts Avenue.
