Prince Andrew Shared Investment Briefing with Jeffrey Epstein, Raising New Questions
A document apparently sent by Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein included information on potential investment opportunities in Afghanistan, specifically focusing on gold and uranium, according to a report from the BBC. The briefing, prepared by UK officials while Andrew was serving as a trade envoy, detailed “high value commercial opportunities” in Helmand province and was forwarded to Epstein in December 2010.
The revelation comes as Thames Valley Police are assessing allegations of misconduct in public office related to Andrew’s sharing of confidential trade details. According to a police statement on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, they are “leading the ongoing assessment” and have been in discussion with Specialist Crown Prosecutors from the CPS. Further details are currently unavailable.
The document outlined investment prospects tied to “significant high value mineral deposits” and the “potential for low cost extraction,” including uranium, thorium, gold, iridium and marble, as well as possible oil and gas resources. Andrew reportedly described the material as a “confidential brief” in an accompanying email. This adds another layer to the ongoing scrutiny of the Prince’s relationship with Epstein.
Sir Vince Cable, who was business secretary at the time the briefing was prepared, described sharing the document as “appalling behaviour.”
King Charles is reportedly “ready to support” the police investigation, CNN reported.
The news follows reports of an Epstein survivor calling on the Palace to search Andrew’s files, the BBC noted.
Prince William has also reportedly distanced himself from his uncle, with one expert telling Fox News that the move breaks royal code and reflects a “despicable” situation. The ongoing fallout from the Epstein scandal continues to reverberate within the Royal Family and raises questions about transparency and conduct.
Afghanistan’s uranium potential has long been recognized, though it remains largely undeveloped. Much of the available geological data dates back to Soviet-era surveys from the 1970s and 1980s, with subsequent assessments by the US Geological Survey confirming the presence of a range of strategic minerals.
