Politico News

The former Duke of York, who was a trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, forwarded information on Oct. 7, 2010 about his upcoming trips with associates of Epstein.

The following month, on Nov. 30, 2010, he appeared to forward official reports of those visits, sent by his special assistant, five minutes after receiving them.

The files also appear to show he forwarded Epstein an email on Christmas Eve 2010 containing a briefing about investment opportunities in the reconstruction of Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

The terms of reference for a trade envoy say the role “carries with it a duty of confidentiality in relation to information received. This may include sensitive, commercial, or political information shared about relevant markets/visits.

“This duty of confidentiality will continue to apply after the expiry of their term of office. In addition, the Official Secrets Acts 1911 and 1989 will apply.”

Mountbatten-Windsor was reported to the authorities by Graham Smith, the chief executive of the anti-monarchy organization Republic.
