The emails, allegedly obtained from a former business associate and forwarded to the Lord Chamberlain in 2020, purportedly contained detailed information about the ex-prince’s actions and financial behavior while serving as a UK trade envoy, as per the BBC. The Mirror has reached out to Andrew’s representatives and Buckingham Palace for their response.
