CPS advises police in probes of Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor and Peter Mandelson over Epstein links

CPS is providing early investigative advice to Met and Thames Valley police probing Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor and Peter Mandelson, arrested in February over alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein; both deny wrongdoing.

The Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed it is providing early investigative legal advice to the Metropolitan police and Thames Valley police over inquiries into two men arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Police arrested and later released under investigation Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor and Peter Mandelson amid allegations they shared sensitive or confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein, and both men deny wrongdoing.

The National Police Chiefs' Council said the police response will be stepped up after the US Department of Justice released the so‑called Epstein files, asking a dedicated group to examine the scale and nature of any UK‑based VAWG offending within them.

Campaigners and survivors — including the family of Virginia Giuffre — have urged the king to meet victims during his planned US state visit, but officials said arrangements are constrained while UK police investigations continue.

What position do you feel closer to?

Due‑process defenders

Allegations this serious must be investigated rigorously, but Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor and Peter Mandelson are entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until any court reaches a verdict.

Accountability & justice advocates

Early CPS involvement is welcome but only meaningful if it leads to a thorough, transparent investigation where Andrew and Mandelson face exactly the same scrutiny as any ordinary suspect.
