On February 24, 2026, the UK government reiterated its support for the release of documents concerning Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's past role as a trade envoy, as scrutiny intensifies around high-profile figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein. This announcement comes just hours after former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson was released on bail following his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The police investigation into Mandelson is reportedly probing allegations that he leaked sensitive Downing Street emails and market-sensitive information to Epstein during his tenure as business secretary. Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing, stating, "I have done nothing wrong and will cooperate fully with the investigation." Meanwhile, police are reportedly blocking the release of one exchange between Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Mandelson, complicating the situation further, according to the BBC.
