Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is facing renewed scrutiny after police began assessing allegations that he shared confidential government reports with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as the United Kingdom's trade envoy. Author Andrew Lownie has called for a full investigation, citing evidence of misconduct in public office and links to sex trafficking, while noting that life imprisonment is possible for such offences under United Kingdom law. The palace has expressed its willingness to support police inquiries, and King Charles has voiced 'profound concern' over the allegations, as the royal family faces increasing public and political pressure to address the scandal. The controversy has been reignited by the release of new documents from United States authorities, which have led to further claims against Andrew and prompted calls for him to testify before lawmakers. Andrew, who has been stripped of his titles and public duties, continues to deny any wrongdoing, while the royal family attempts to manage the fallout from the ongoing Epstein scandal.
