Former Prince Andrew’s Balmoral trip with Epstein, Maxwell under investigation

Police in Scotland have said they are in the early stages of an investigation of trips made by former Prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, at the British Royal Family's Balmoral estate.

In a statement made on Friday, police said “All inquiries are evidence-led, with the needs of victim survivors at the heart of those inquiries."

The disgraced royal and brother of King Charles was a long-time friend of financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, though he has spent years distancing himself from the friendship and denying that he knew of any wrongdoing.

In February this year, Mountbatten Windsor was arrested and held for hours by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his links to Epstein, which he denies.
