Gordon Brown calls for a renewed police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein and the alleged misuse of public funds during his tenure as the UK’s trade envoy from 2001 to 2011. The former Labour leader revealed that he had requested a minister to interview the ex-Prince about excessive expenses incurred in his role.
In an interview with the New Statesman magazine, Brown emphasized the importance of questioning all individuals involved in managing Mountbatten-Windsor’s official trips. He urged authorities to re-interview Andrew concerning potential breaches of the Official Secrets Act and the alleged trafficking of women to various locations, including royal residences.
Brown disclosed that he had rejected a proposal from Andrew for the government to finance a royal fleet of planes, seeking approval directly from the late Queen. He also advocated for expanding the police inquiry into Epstein’s ties with the former Duke of York to encompass allegations of sexual abuse.
The ex-Prime Minister stressed the necessity of scrutinizing the use of public funds and possible disclosure of official secrets by Mountbatten-Windsor. He called for thorough investigations across government departments involved in managing the ex-Prince’s trips as a trade envoy, questioning whether public funds were used for personal purposes.
Brown highlighted the importance of upholding justice for Epstein’s victims and ensuring accountability for those involved in any abuse of power. He underscored the need for transparency and thorough investigations to uncover the truth, emphasizing that no one should be above the law.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any misconduct, and his representatives have been contacted for comment.
