Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called for multiple police forces to investigate whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor utilized taxpayer-funded jets and RAF bases to meet with Jeffrey Epstein. Brown emphasized the need to question civil servants about Mountbatten-Windsor’s tenure as a trade envoy from 2001 to 2011, especially during Brown’s time in office. He has urged a comprehensive examination of the trade envoy role’s expenses and any potential connections between Mountbatten-Windsor’s official duties and Epstein.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that Brown’s letters contained undisclosed information raising concerns about Mountbatten-Windsor’s use of RAF charters for potential Epstein-related activities. Brown has also called for interviews with airline personnel and airport staff regarding Epstein’s visits to the UK, along with a thorough review of the Ministry of Defence’s records to determine the vetting process for Epstein’s entry into the country.
Over the weekend, the Royal Family continued with their public engagements, including appearances by the Prince and Princess of Wales. Notably, Kate Middleton attended the Six Nations Rugby match in Twickenham, marking her first public outing since Andrew’s recent arrest.
Andrew spent 11 hours in police custody on his 66th birthday, following allegations of disclosing sensitive information to Epstein during his trade envoy role. Authorities continued their search at Andrew’s former residence in Windsor, Berkshire, while Andrew denied any wrongdoing linked to Epstein.
In response to the situation, the King issued a statement emphasizing support for the legal process and police investigation. Thames Valley Police, leading the inquiry, have not yet sought guidance from the Crown Prosecution Service. Detectives have urged Andrew’s former security officers to provide any relevant information they may have observed during their service.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson clarified that private or commercial aircraft using RAF airfields is standard practice, subject to approval and fees covering expenses. The spokesperson highlighted that such usage is contingent on not impacting military operations or airfield security.
