British police have confirmed they are assessing a report concerning the alleged transmission of confidential government documents by a former senior royal.
The Thames Valley Police stated they have received the information and are evaluating it according to standard protocols. This follows the release of a trove of documents by the U.S. Department of Justice, which included communications between the former royal and the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The allegations center on the period when the individual served as a Special Representative for International Trade and Investment. In this official capacity, he was privy to sensitive details regarding state visits and trade missions. It is claimed that private reports from a 2010 tour of Southeast Asia, including notes on trips to Singapore, Vietnam, China, and Hong Kong, were shared with Epstein. Further correspondence reportedly discussed introductions to high-ranking foreign officials.
A complaint has been filed by an anti-monarchy campaigner, suggesting potential breaches of official secrecy laws and misconduct during his time in public office.
The development adds to the ongoing scrutiny of the former royal’s associations, which has led to significant personal and professional consequences. He was relieved of his royal duties and military affiliations in recent years and has since been living in a private residence on a royal estate.
Separately, the Prince and Princess of Wales have publicly expressed their profound concern over the continuing revelations, stating that their primary focus remains with the victims affected by the wider scandal. Reports indicate a firm desire within the family to distance themselves from the ongoing situation.
