Police have confirmed they are assessing allegations about sex trafficking claims against Andrew Mountbatten-Windor, reports have claimed. An Essex Police spokesperson told The Sun: “We are assessing the information that has emerged in relation to private flights into and out of Stansted Airport following the publication of the US DoJ Epstein files.”
It comes after documents within the latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein files showed that women were flown in and out of the UK and Stansted airport in particular by the convicted paedophile. The latest tranche of Epstein files revealed that as many as 90 flights of the disgraced sex offender’s private Boeing 727–100 aircraft, nicknamed Lolita Express, arrived at Stansted Airport’s private terminal.
In total, 15 of those flights took place after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor to prostitution.
Essex Police said they are examining flight logs and emails.
Surrey Police said they are in contact with “relevant agencies” to obtain access to unredacted Epstein files relating to a child abuse claim made against Andrew and Epstein’s accomplice and convicted sex offender, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The outlet claims that the allegation was included in a 2020 FBI report within the Epstein files.
A Surrey spokesperson told the outlet: “Following a review of our systems using the limited information available to us, we can find no evidence of these allegations being reported to Surrey Police.
“We are therefore engaging with relevant agencies to obtain access to the un-redacted information.”

It comes as former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, among other political figures, urged police to interview Andrew over his involvement with Epstein.
The ex-Labour leader noted reports that Epstein trafficked girls from Latvia, Lithuania and Russia via Stansted Airport.
He said that he understood that UK police had failed to speak to some of the women affected and called on them to “urgently to re-examine their decision-making in their investigation”.
Meanwhile, Thames Valley Police last week confirmed it is assessing claims against Andrew sharing confidential information during his time as a UK trade envoy.
