Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor spoke to a Libyan contact to help arrange a meeting for Jeffrey Epstein with Colonel Gaddafi in Tripoli, emails appear to show.
Messages within the latest release of the US Department of Justice’s Epstein files, from the autumn of 2010, show the disgraced financier contacted royal aide, David Stern, saying “i want to go to tripoli lets organize with pa”.
The paedophile then sends another email to Mr Stern, writing: “people that have seen the father, have asked me if i want to meet him as he does not know where to put his money as opposed to what to do with it, currencies etc, I wondered if Pa should make the intro instead.”
The emails were first unearthed from the Epstein files by Channel 4 News, which claimed “the father” refers to the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi to distinguish him from his well-known son Saif.
It appears Mr Stern then consulted Andrew, in a reply dated the following day, October 8 2010, writing: “He is thinking about the best approach and will discuss with me when I see him next on 17th Oct in Hong Kong (he is leaving today for Asia).”

Later emails from “The Duke”, signed “A”, to Epstein’s address say “I will call you later this evening after I have had my chat with my Libyan contact to see what we can arrange for you in Tripoli.”
The same day, November 4 2010, “A” follows up to Epstein writing “Libya fixed. Call me whenever.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been contacted for comment. He has consistently denied wrongdoing.
It’s the latest claim that has come to light about the former duke’s relationship with Epstein.
Police consult CPS over Andrew’s Epstein emails
Thames Valley Police have consulted the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) about a possible criminal investigation after emails suggested Andrew may have leaked official government information to Jeffrey Epstein.
Preliminary discussions are assessing whether the evidence is sufficient to open a full investigation.
If a formal investigation is launched, Andrew could face misconduct in public office charges, which require proof of deliberate misuse of authority and a serious breach of trust – not merely poor judgement.

At the time, Britain and Iceland were engaged in a diplomatic dispute over British deposits lost in the 2008 banking crisis.
Other emails released by the US Department of Justice reportedly show Andrew shared official reports of trips to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam in 2010 and 2011 while serving as a government trade envoy, a role that carried a strict duty of confidentiality.
Scrutiny of government records and Buckingham Palace
If a formal investigation is launched, police could examine government records, emails, and correspondence – including documents involving Buckingham Palace – to determine whether sensitive or confidential information was improperly shared. This could involve scrutiny of internal government briefings and Andrew’s interactions with Epstein.
The investigation mirrors a separate probe involving Lord Peter Mandelson, who also allegedly shared sensitive information. Mandelson is expected to be interviewed under caution in the coming days.
Mandelson has also denied wrongdoing and apologised for his links to Epstein.
Coded phrases used for woman visiting Andrew
Thames Valley Police are also examining claims relating to alleged sexual encounters arranged by Epstein in 2010 at Buckingham Palace, as revealed by The i Paper.
Former palace security staff reported that women visiting Andrew were sometimes admitted without their names being logged and with coded phrases.
Officers allegedly raised safety and transparency concerns but were reportedly too intimidated to challenge procedures due to Andrew’s authority.
What could realistically happen to Andrew
If a criminal investigation is launched and if Andrew is found guilty of abusing trust by sharing confidential UK government briefing documents, the offence could be indictable, carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
In practice, sentences in misconduct cases typically range from suspended terms to several years’ custody.
Realistically, if an investigation proceeds, Andrew could face formal charges, appear before a magistrate, or stand trial at the Crown Court.
Did Andrew knowingly share classified information (Photo: Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty)The most plausible charge would be misconduct in public office. Conviction would require strong proof of intentional, serious abuse of office.
If personal or sensitive diplomatic data was shared improperly, prosecutors might also consider misuse of confidential information or breaches of data protection law, though these generally criminal carry less severe criminal penalties.
Inviting women to Buckingham Palace and using code names is not illegal. It would only become relevant if it formed part of a broader conspiracy, facilitated criminal conduct, or involved deception tied to official duties.

Any formal investigation would require evidence that Andrew knowingly shared classified information, understood that disclosure could cause harm, and recognised the risk to UK international relations.
Thames Valley Police are still in the assessment phase, gathering information from US DOJ files and other sources.
Any investigation would involve highly sensitive material, including internal government and royal correspondence, making it complex and likely to take significant time.
