No evidence Andrew Windsor was vetted for major government role

Files on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's appointment as UK trade envoy have been released. Shelagh Fogarty is joined by LBC's Aggie Chambre who discusses what we know so far on the situation. The former Duke of York faces accusations of sharing sensitive information with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a special representative for trade and investment. The late Queen was ‘very keen’ to have him as a UK trade envoy and she pushed for her second son to take on a “prominent role in the promotion of national interests,” former chief executive of British Trade International Sir David Wright said. Andrew was appointed with no vetting, as Queen Elizabeth II thought he would be a “natural fit” to be successor to her cousin the Duke of Kent in the role. Andrew was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office and later released under investigation. The former prince has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
