Andrew shared confidential information with Epstein as trade envoy, files suggest

Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information.

I read that most of the staff did not want to go to Sandringham because they have homes/families in Windsor and/or they are close to retirement age and do not wish to up sticks and move.

Best they hire some locals in Norfolk, has to be someone who’d make the guy a sandwich now and again.

It would not surprise me to find out that Andrew is ‘not well’.

The RF has often gone to great lengths to hide certain illnesses.

If he’s gone barmy, it won’t be made public. IMO, MOO

They refused to work with him because he is notoriously verbally abusive to staff.

Yep, there's the trade envoy financial mess, as predicted. None of this is just "Oh, that Randy Andy, what a spoiled brat." It's much bigger, imo.

I do not know who the "expert" is, who claims that William as a monarch "is adamant his uncle should face a police inquiry...", but if that "expert" believes that a monarch of today has any say in whether the police should open an inquiry, they doesn't seem to be familiar with the British legal and political system. William is not going to become an absolute monarch, whether he, or any editor of Royalist newsletters dream of.

(I haven't read the article, as I refuse to 'feed' that tabloid.)

Why do you think there wasn't a police investigation into a known 17 year old sex trafficking victim, travelling with a known sex trafficker, accusing Andrew of rape? It's unfathomable if he wasn't a royal.

I suspect this is less a case of royal interference and more a matter of institutional deference to the royal family on the part of the police. Which I think unfortunately exists.

I think William letting it be known he would be happy for police to investigate claims against the royal family is only a good thing.

British police 'assessing' claims former Prince Andrew shared sensitive reports with Epstein

At the center of the latest controversy is an email exchange from November 2010 appearing to show the royal sharing “visit reports” after a South East Asia trip.

British police are looking into a claim that former Prince Andrew shared confidential trade documents with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a U.K. trade envoy.

Thames Valley Police said it was assessing new allegations against the younger brother of King Charles III, according to The Associated Press, BBC News and a number of other news organizations.

“We can confirm receipt of this report and are assessing the information in line with our established procedures,” the police said in a statement, according to the AP...

Palace says King Charles III will support police who are assessing reports that ex-Prince Andrew gave files to Epstein.

They have to.

IF Andrew used his position for financial crimes, that could potentially shake the monarchy.

People might be willing to look the other way regarding sexual misbehavior but not financial, especially if done by an official. And, in his role of Trade Envoy, Andrew was an official. He besmirched not only the monarchy, but the nation.

I think the Queen kept this from unraveling and William wants nothing to do with it. But if serious crimes were committed that are becoming public knowledge, Charles can't do anything except say he will support law enforcement.

I've been waiting for the financial mess to be revealed. This wasn't "just" a sex ring.

So basically KC is saying that Andrew is on his own.
Good.

Andrew was doing what ever he was doing financially as a representative of the royal family, so if he's thrown under a bus will he drag Charlie down with him. We can only hope.
