Prince Andrew Shared Confidential Afghanistan Investment Report with Jeffrey Epstein
Documents reviewed by the BBC reveal that Prince Andrew, former member of the British royal family, shared a confidential UK government report on investment opportunities in Afghanistan with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Thames Valley Police have stated they are investigating these allegations.
The document was prepared in 2010 by British officials during Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s tenure as the UK’s Special Representative for Trade and Investment. The report highlighted “high-value business opportunities” in Helmand province and mentioned potential reserves of gold, uranium, and other minerals.
In an email from December 2010, Andrew described the document as a “confidential report prepared by the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Helmand.” The report was created concurrent with his visit to the province, during a period when British forces were stationed there as part of their military mission.
The document also referenced significant deposits of marble, iridium, and thorium, as well as the potential presence of oil and gas, noting the “possibility of low-cost extraction.” According to official UK guidelines, trade representatives are required to keep sensitive political and economic information confidential.
Prince Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2019 following the public revelation of his association with Jeffrey Epstein. In 2022, he resolved a civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre without admitting legal liability and has consistently denied the allegations made against him.
