"The paper also reports that Brown has demanded a full investigation into the trade envoy role, its cost to taxpayers and any evidence that links the former prince's government work to late financier Epstein. Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, who died in a New York prison cell in 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges."
"When asked about these flights by the BBC in October 2025, the Ministry of Defence said "it is standard practice for spare capacity at RAF airfields in the UK to be used for private or commercial aircraft, subject to fees which cover all costs". It added that such use "is not automatic and will only be approved when there is no adverse impact to military aircraft and where approval would not interfere with the security or smooth running of the airfield"."
Gordon Brown demanded a police investigation into whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used taxpayer-funded jets and RAF bases to meet Jeffrey Epstein. Brown wrote letters to six police forces suggesting that civil servants be questioned about Andrew's time as UK trade envoy. Andrew served as a trade envoy from 2001 to 2011, including nearly three years when Brown was prime minister. Brown demanded a full investigation into the envoy role, its cost to taxpayers and any links between the former prince's government work and Epstein. Andrew has denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Brown submitted a five-page memorandum to multiple police constabularies. The MoD said RAF airfield use for private flights is permitted subject to fees and approvals.
