Court documents have revealed that Buckingham Palace was made aware six years ago of emails allegedly showing that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential information with a business contact. The revelations come from a cache of up to thirty thousand emails submitted to the High Court relating to his tenure as trade envoy. The former prince reportedly leaked a confidential Treasury briefing to a banker friend.
Court documents have revealed that Buckingham Palace was made aware six years ago of emails allegedly showing that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential government information with a business contact. The revelations come from a cache of up to thirty thousand emails submitted to the High Court relating to his time as a trade envoy.
According to the documents, one of his business associates sent the emails to the lord chamberlain, the most senior officer at the palace. The Telegraph reported that he reportedly leaked a confidential Treasury briefing to a banker friend while serving as the country's trade envoy.
The cache of thirty thousand emails submitted to the court represents one of the largest collections of private correspondence involving a member of the former royal family to be examined in legal proceedings. The documents cover his activities during his time representing British trade interests abroad.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has previously apologised for his past ties with convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein but has strenuously denied any wrongdoing. He was stripped of his royal duties and military titles following the controversy surrounding those associations.
The latest revelations add to the mounting legal and reputational challenges facing him. The suggestion that confidential government briefings were shared with private business contacts raises serious questions about the handling of sensitive information during his tenure as trade envoy, a role he held for a decade.
