London, United Kingdom. British prosecutors have been in contact with police over investigations into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and former U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson’s links with Jeffrey Epstein, Britain’s chief prosecutor said on Wednesday.
CPS contact with police forces
Stephen Parkinson told reporters that the Crown Prosecution Service had been in touch with the police forces investigating King Charles’ younger brother and Mandelson, Thames Valley Police and London’s Metropolitan Police respectively.
“We are in close contact with the Met and Thames Valley Police, but we have not been asked for formal advice yet,” Parkinson said.
He added that in complex and sensitive cases, the CPS and the police work together and he expected that to continue, but said there would be no step-by-step updates.
Buckingham Palace statement
Buckingham Palace on Monday said it was ready to support any police investigation into Mountbatten-Windsor after emails suggested he might have shared confidential British trade documents with Epstein.
Mandelson investigation
Mandelson is separately under investigation over alleged misconduct in public office, following claims he leaked market-sensitive information to Epstein while a government minister during the financial crash.
