Buckingham Palace is facing fresh accusations of an 'epic cover-up' after it emerged that officials received an archive of 30,000 emails linked to ex-Prince Andrew Epstein investigations as far back as May 2020, years before current police inquiries into his conduct as a UK trade envoy.
The email cache disclosed in High Court documents and said to concern Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's financial affairs and business activities landed at the Lord Chamberlain's office long after questions about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein had entered mainstream politics, but well before Thames Valley Police confirmed they were examining allegations of misconduct in public office. The material is understood to have been taken from the account of businessman Jonathan Rowland, whose family enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the duke, and whose ventures Andrew reportedly helped promote while representing Britain abroad.
