Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly invited convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein to Balmoral in 1999, and flight logs show Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell flew there on Epstein's private jet in September 2006. Police Scotland confirmed it has received "information" and that "active inquiries are ongoing" into whether women were trafficked to the King's Highland estate during those visits.

Mountbatten-Windsor was already arrested on his 66th birthday in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office, released under investigation, and denies wrongdoing.
A cryptic 2001 email signed 'A xxx' was sent to Maxwell from Balmoral asking if she had 'found me some new inappropriate friends'.
