Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor dined with a model during a taxpayer-funded trip to China as his aide forwarded photos of them to Jeffrey Epstein.
Calls continue to grow for an investigation into the former Duke of York’s work as trade envoy, after emails in the Epstein files appeared to show Andrew organising meetings for the paedophile.
Documents allegedly show that the former prince shared highly sensitive information with Epstein and appeared to organise meetings for him during a trade mission to China.
Several emails appeared to go through Andrew’s middleman, David Stern, who sent Epstein a link to pictures of the Chinese actress with Andrew.

He allegedly wrote: “We have dinner on Sunday in Beijing with this p,” with “p” allegedly acting as code for a derogatory term for young women.
Another photo appeared to show Andrew sitting on a bamboo raft with a young woman, noting the details of a life jacket.
Emails between Andrew and Mr Stern were allegedly forwarded to Epstein on multiple occasions, including images of the former duke meeting young women.
There is no suggestion that any of the women were victims of abuse by Epstein or Andrew.

Andrew has always vigorously denied any wrongdoing with his connections to Epstein.
Police are currently facing calls to launch a full investigation into the former Duke of York for his role as the UK’s trade envoy.
Numerous senior political figures have demanded that the force take action following allegations that Andrew leaked sensitive information to Epstein.
Thames Valley Police previously confirmed that allegations of misconduct in public office relating to Andrew remain at the “assessment” stage, but detectives could launch a full investigation.

GETTYAndrew served as the UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 to 2011, a role that gave him special access to senior political and business figures.
Documents in the files appear to show that the former prince shared highly sensitive information with Epstein and allegedly organised meetings for him during a trade mission to China.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has weighed in on the matter, saying: “The Epstein revelations are hugely damaging to public trust in our institutions.
“The police are rightfully looking into this, as we need full transparency to get justice for the victims of this abhorrent abuse. That must also include a public inquiry.”

GETTYShadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel shared her thoughts, telling GB News: “Everyone that’s been involved should be subject to the right kind of inquiries, police investigations.
“What has taken place and happened is absolutely abhorrent, and it’s right that everyone is scrutinised in terms of their roles, what has happened, information, papers that may have been shared and disclosed.”
Andrew has always vigorously denied any wrongdoing in relation to his connection with Epstein, and just appearing in the files does not suggest any misconduct.
GB News has contacted Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for comment.
