Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein from his official work as trade envoy in 2010 and 2011, according to material in the latest release of files in the US seen by the BBC.
Emails from the recently-released batch of Epstein files show the former prince passing on reports of visits to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam and confidential details of investment opportunities.
Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information about their official visits.
The former Duke of York, who served as trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, has been contacted for comment but is yet to respond.
Andrew has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing. Being named in the Epstein files is not an indication of misconduct.
The emails indicate that on 7 October 2010, Andrew sent Epstein details of his official upcoming trips as trade envoy to Singapore, Vietnam, Shenzhen in China and Hong Kong, where he was accompanied by business associates of Epstein.
After the trip, on 30 November, he appears to have forwarded official reports of those visits sent by his then-special assistant, Amit Patel, to Epstein, five minutes after receiving them.
Andrew told BBC Newsnight in 2019 that he last saw Epstein in New York in early December 2010 to tell the disgraced financier he was breaking off the friendship.
However, on Christmas Eve that year, he emailed Epstein a confidential briefing on investment opportunities in the reconstruction of Helmand Province, Afghanistan, which was overseen at the time by British armed forces and funded by UK government money.
By this time, Epstein was already a convicted sex offender.

In the 1940s-50s Ken Goff (I LED 3 LIVES) was the double agent. Maybe Epstein was the double agent of his era.
He was PURE EVIL!!!
This hints that Epstein may have been earning his money by insider trading… we would also explain why Epstein had friends like Bill Richardson, who is in the Clinton administration and former senator from Maine George Mitchell
Sometimes I think the Democrats literally make up their next move on a moment-to-moment basis. But in other matters, they seem to have a long-term strategy. Like open borders, and no-ID voting.
Maybe they have different decision-makers operating in different domains, and each stays in his or her own lane.
The Left has multiple groups working independently each thinking they are the only one.
I want to see a timeline of Epstein’s sources and uses of money.
