Police investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for misconduct in a private office are facing numerous hurdles as they try to build a case against the disgraced royal.

According to a lawyer representing victims of Jeffrey Epstein, women who claim to have information about Mountbatten-Windsor do not trust the British police enough to speak to them.

Brad Edwards told the BBC he was working with “multiple clients” who could speak about the ex-prince but who fear they will not receive proper treatment in the UK.

One of Edwards’ clients claims she was sent to the UK to have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor – a claim which is being assessed by Thames Valley Police. The former prince has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to any of the allegations against him.
