Police have confirmed that an assessment into allegations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor committed misconduct in a public office, will be carried out with the Crown Prosecution Service.
They said it will be “to determine whether a criminal offence is suspected and whether a full investigation is required.”
Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said: “We can confirm today (11/2) that Thames Valley Police is leading the ongoing assessment of allegations relating to misconduct in public office. This specifically relates to documents within the United States Department of Justice’s Epstein Files.
“As part of this assessment, we have engaged in discussions with Specialist Crown Prosecutors from the CPS. We will provide updates as and when they are available, but at this stage it would be inappropriate to discuss further specifics of this work.”
“During an assessment phase, information is evaluated to determine whether a criminal offence is suspected and whether a full investigation is required.
“Allegations of misconduct in public office involve particular complexities, and therefore an assessment must be conducted carefully and thoroughly.
“While we cannot provide timescales over when a decision as to whether a criminal investigation will be opened, we can assure you that Thames Valley Police is making progress as quickly as possible.”
At this stage, however, police have not confirmed that a criminal investigation has been launched. The latest update from Thames Valley Police indicates that while discussions with specialist CPS prosecutors are ongoing, a decision on whether the matter progresses to a full criminal investigation remains pending.

Emails released by the US Department of Justice appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sharing reports from official visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore.
Andrew is also facing growing pressure to testify in the US about his links to Epstein, and last week moved from his Windsor home to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
On Monday, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said King Charles was ready to support the police as they consider allegations against his brother.
