Police are reportedly investigating allegations of inappropriate behavior by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor towards a woman at the prestigious Royal Ascot event. The incident is said to have occurred in 2002 during the attendance of the late Queen Elizabeth II and other senior royals for her Golden Jubilee.
Thames Valley Police spokesperson confirmed that they are conducting an investigation into the ex-prince, looking into potential sexual misconduct and misconduct in public office. The public is urged to provide any relevant information to assist in the inquiry.
Authorities emphasize that the investigation encompasses a broad range of offenses beyond the initial accusations related to Andrew’s role as a trade envoy. The police are diligently examining information provided by the public and various sources to ensure a thorough investigation.
Andrew, who previously served as the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment, faced scrutiny due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Following his arrest on suspicions of misconduct in public office, searches were conducted at his former residences in Windsor and Norfolk.
Detectives are carefully reviewing evidence gathered during the investigation, including a formal request to the US Department of Justice for access to the original Epstein files. Despite ongoing efforts, no information has been received yet.
