The British government has found no evidence Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was vetted prior to his appointment as a trade envoy, a minister says, alongside the release of new documents.
The trove of files also showed the former prince's mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, pushed for his appointment to such a role.
The documents were made public after UK opposition MPs asked the government to release all papers related to the creation of the role of Special Representative for Trade and Investment and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's controversial appointment to the position.
