Ex-prince is called 'rude and entitled'

MINISTERS have agreed to release files related to the appointment of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to the trade envoy role, as the former prince was described as “a rude, arrogant and entitled man”.

However, MPs were told the Govern ment is unable to publish material that police need for their inquiries until officers are “satisfied”.

The former Duke of York faces accu sations of sharing sensitive information with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a special representative for trade and investment between 2001 and 2011. He was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office last week, before being released under investigation.

This came days before Lord Peter Mandelson was also arrested following similar allegations of passing sensitive information to Epstein, during his time as business secretary.
