Emails from the recently-released batch of Epstein files show the former prince passing on reports of visits to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam and confidential details of investment opportunities.

Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information about their official visits.

The former Duke of York, who served as trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, has been contacted for comment but is yet to respond.

Andrew has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing. Being named in the Epstein files is not an indication of misconduct.

The emails indicate that on 7 October 2010, Andrew sent Epstein details of his official upcoming trips as trade envoy to Singapore, Vietnam, Shenzhen in China and Hong Kong, where he was accompanied by business associates of Epstein.

After the trip, on 30 November, he appears to have forwarded official reports of those visits sent by his then-special assistant, Amit Patel, to Epstein, five minutes after receiving them.

    Around about now he’s got to be thinking “Damn, I really shouldn’t have fucked those young girls.”

      As royalty, he is by definition incapable of seeing himself as anything but above laws and morality and ethics.

      The comoners just don’t understand the sophisticated sexual needs of the best of human breeding.
