Queen Elizabeth II supported Prince Andrew's appointment as UK trade envoy

Newly released government files reveal that Queen Elizabeth II was keen for her son, Prince Andrew, to assume a trade envoy role in 2000. Documents obtained following a request by Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, show that the Queen wanted Andrew to play a 'prominent role in the promotion of national interests'. At the time, Andrew was appointed as the UK's special representative for international trade and investment, a position he held until 2011. The files include correspondence outlining Andrew's preferences for engagements abroad, including high-tech matters, cultural events such as ballet, and youth-focused projects, while avoiding golfing functions. Internal government communications stressed careful media management and confirmed that Andrew would not be paid for the role, although his travel and staff expenses were covered. The release comes shortly after Andrew's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his alleged links with Jeffrey Epstein, though he was released under investigation and has consistently denied any wrongdoing. The government indicated that no further files are expected to be published. Trade Minister Sir Chris Bryant emphasised that the released documents represent an 'exceptional case' in transparency, while some content remains redacted to protect personal information and international relations.

The UK government on Thursday released the confidential papers related to the appointment, just months after lawmakers accused the king’s brother of putting his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein ahead of the nation. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/queen-elizabeth-prince-andrew-trade-envoy-documents-rs09a1b2?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Andrew #UnitedKingdom #QueenElizabethII #TradeEnvoy
