- Fresh reporting cites 2010 emails that allegedly show Andrew forwarding a confidential Treasury update on Iceland’s banking fallout to financier Jonathan Rowland, with separate media claims of messages about a proposed meeting involving Libya’s then‑leader.
- Buckingham Palace states it will support police if approached, highlights the King’s profound concern, and points to earlier steps distancing the institution, while William and Catherine and Prince Edward issued statements emphasizing victims.
- New accounts reported by media outlets allege women were flown on Epstein‑linked jets and taken into Buckingham Palace under the code name “Mrs Windsor,” with a former protection officer contacting police as calls grow for trafficking‑related inquiries.
