Prince Andrew’s Business Dealings Exposed in Court Documents to Buckingham Palace

Court papers released in the United Kingdom reveal that Buckingham Palace received an archive of roughly 30,000 e‑mail messages in 2020. The correspondence shows former Prince Andrew, who served as a trade envoy, shared confidential government information while engaging in financial and business activities.

The documents indicate ties to several firms and banks, notably the failed Icelandic bank Kaupthing and its successor, Banki Havilland, which later faced regulatory sanctions in the UK and the EU. Some messages also reference the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Palace said a police investigation is ongoing and it cannot comment on the details. Welsh police continue to examine the material, and the London government confirmed cooperation with the inquiry. Prince Andrew and others implicated have denied any wrongdoing.
