WASHINGTON- UK key figures on Friday have called for a probe into former Prince Andrew’s conduct, including former prime minister Gordon Brown who dubbed it ‘by far the biggest scandal of all’ in Epstein files revealed.
According to media reports a woman entered the UK on sex offences convict Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet and was smuggled into Buckingham Palace, there are renewed demands for the British police to initiate a sex trafficking investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
A report in the Daily Mail claimed that the woman was smuggled into Buckingham Palace using the codename ‘Mrs Windsor’ and the destination was Mr Andrew.
Andrew is reported to have given the instructions: ‘Mrs Windsor will arrive shortly, please let her in and show her up’.
The report said, quoted revelations in the Epstein Files, that the sex offender’s private jet, a Boeing 727-100, landed in the UK over 90 times.
UK trips happened even after the 2008 conviction of Epstein for child sex offences.
It has been alleged that the sex trafficking victims were mostly transferred from one plane to another at one of the UK’s busiest airports, Stansted.
The leading voices was former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who dubbed it ‘by far the biggest scandal of all’ calling for a probe into former Prince Andrew’s conduct.
Brown said Scotland Yard must immediately start a comprehensive criminal probe into the former Duke of York, and not just look into misconduct in public life and breach of the Official Secrets Act.
“The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew. I have been told privately that the investigations related to the former Prince Andrew did not properly check vital evidence of flights,” the former PM Brown said as per reports.
The revelations came close on the heels of Andrew’s name surfacing in the latest batch of Epstein files, with images apparently showing him leaning over an unidentified woman in what appeared to be Epstein’s New York mansion.
The latest tranche of files also showed Andrew had invited Epstein to meet him at Buckingham Palace after the child sex offender was released from house arrest, media reported.
