UK royals not ‘above the law’ – UK chief prosecutor

Ex-Prince Andrew faces scrutiny over alleged sharing of confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein.

Members of Britain’s royal family are not above the law, the country’s top prosecutor said on Sunday, as police investigate former Prince Andrew over allegations he leaked information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Thames Valley Police said last week it was in discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service over allegations of misconduct in public office against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III.

“Nobody is above the law,” Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson told the Sunday Times. The prosecutor added he had “total confidence” that police would act independently and dismissed suggestions that the monarchy would receive special treatment.

“From my perspective, I don’t find it a difficult offense to prosecute because the core of it is a gross breach of trust by someone performing the function of a public officer,” he said.

The comments come as Thames Valley Police examine allegations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential information with Epstein during his tenure as Britain’s trade envoy from 2001 to 2011.



Scrutiny of his conduct intensified after emails disclosed in files related to Epstein suggested the former prince passed on sensitive material. Separate emails showed businessman David Stern, a friend and associate of Mountbatten-Windsor, was in regular contact with Epstein and accompanied the royal on publicly funded visits to Beijing, Hong Kong and Shenzhen in 2010.

Evidence compiled by the Mail alleges Mountbatten-Windsor used his government role to advance Epstein’s business interests.

Emails suggest the former Duke of York leaked sensitive information about Royal Bank of Scotland following its government bailout, while a senior palace aide reportedly passed a diplomatic cable on UK-China trade to a banker connected to Mountbatten-Windsor.

The correspondence also shows Epstein arranged a dinner in Beijing between the former prince and Jes Staley, later revealed as Epstein’s personal banker, and that Stern discussed pursuing “discreet” deals with Chinese officials after the 2010 trade mission.

Epstein reportedly boasted in an email that he was receiving intelligence from Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson, the disgraced former UK ambassador to the US writing: “I’ve got the UK sewn up.”

Earlier this month, Mountbatten-Windsor was removed from his Royal Lodge residence in Windsor after losing his titles, as police assess BBC-reported claims that Epstein sent a woman to the UK for a sexual encounter with him there in 2010.

  1. The fact nothing has happened to date would tend to strongly suggest otherwise. Then there ‘s the case of an illegal immigrant rapist whose status as such wasn’t to communicated to a jury when they put the creature on trial. Yes such a fair and democratic system, wink wink, nudge nudge. Its no better here in NZ.

    • That is always how it works in court cases. The jury is not told of the defendants prior convictions.

      The defendant is judged on the case brought by the prosecution

  2. In ancient time kings and aristocrats did not mixed up with j*ws.
    And for the common good of many kingdoms j*ws assets acquired in dubious ways were confisquated and j*ws were explelled of the kingdom
    Perhaps one should reflect on this.

    • Jesus came into 3D only for the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel
      And out of concern for others Jacob Israel
      To tell the ELOHEEM Who they were
      12 gates 12 foundations
      And that those claiming to be Who they were
      Were not Who they were claiming to be

    • If only. The Bloodline families of Europe have at it’s core Charlemagne whose descendants married, and intermarried with their close ally Rabbi Makkir and his descendants (and still do). The European system of monarchy relies heavily on the Old Testament orthodoxy of a monarch being anointed by god thus becoming an absolute and unquestionable authority. The Bloodline families also have strong links to the Middle East and the Caucuses where there are many infused monarchies.
