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 Government is unable to publish material that police need for their inquiries until officers are “satisfied”.The former duke of York faces accusations 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.Despite being stripped of his title last year, the former duke of York is still eighth in line to the throne, and an Act of Parliament would be required to prevent him from ever becoming king.
