EX-ROYAL GUARD SAYS ANDREW PROBE MUST GO RIGHT TO TOP

AN independent investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's links to Jeffrey Epstein must go to the very top, a former royal security chief has insisted.

Dai Davies joined MPs in calling for a probe, insisting: "For too long the establishment has taken us, the public, for fools. The truth, warts and all, must come out."

Mr Davies, head of Scotland Yard's Royal Protection Command from 1994 to 1998 told the Mirror:

"We need a judge-led independent inquiry to investigate everything and get answers.

"It needs to have the power to call people at all levels, including people from the Palace, diplomats, private secretaries and press officers to find out exactly who knew what and when."
