Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has sent letters to police requesting investigations into the activities of Prince Andrew while he served as a trade envoy, following the royal’s recent arrest. Authorities are investigating Prince Andrew for misconduct in public office, suspecting he may have shared privileged documents from official trade meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.
Concerns Over RAF Flights and Confidential Information
The former prince was released under investigation, meaning further questioning is possible. Prince Andrew served as a trade envoy from 2001 to 2011, overlapping with Brown’s time as Prime Minister. Brown’s five-page letters were sent to police forces in London, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, Norfolk and Bedfordshire, containing “new and additional” information.
The letters express concern that Prince Andrew chartered Royal Air Force (RAF) flights for personal engagements, potentially including meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. Brown has described this as a “wholly unacceptable” use of public funds, recalling that Prince Andrew was previously nicknamed “Airmiles Andy” for using taxpayer money for both business and private travel following official engagements.
Calls for Interviews and Airport Scrutiny
Brown has called for police to interview personnel from the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the Department for Transport, the Foreign Office, and the Treasury regarding Prince Andrew’s role as trade envoy. He also suggests the letters indicate concerns that confidential information from official meetings may have been shared with individuals such as Epstein.
Additionally, Brown has requested police investigate whether Epstein was granted access to RAF bases after his 2008 conviction for soliciting child prostitution in Florida. A jet carrying Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell landed at RAF Marham in 2000, and subsequently travelled to the Queen’s Sandringham Estate, allegedly organized by Prince Andrew.
Brown has compiled a list of British runways used by Epstein, including airports in Norfolk, Belfast, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Birmingham, and London (Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted). He wants staff at these airports questioned and background checks on Epstein prior to any landing clearances examined.
Royal Response and Calls for Succession Change
King Charles III released a statement following Prince Andrew’s arrest, stating, “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.” He affirmed the importance of allowing the investigation to proceed fully and fairly, offering the authorities “full and wholehearted support and co-operation,” adding, “the law must take its course.”
There are now calls for Prince Andrew to be removed from the line of succession. He has already been stripped of his royal titles and relocated from Royal Lodge. Prince Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing in connection with his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations.
