The royal palace was handed emails six years ago that showed former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shared classified government information while he was a trade ambassador.
Among the information he shared were problems in the Icelandic banking system.
From this reports BBC but it says that the highest official of the royal palace received a collection of 30 thousand e-mails in 2020 where the controversial financial transactions of Mountbatten-Windsor were discussed.
The royal palace has declined to comment on the emails while the Mountbatten-Windsor case is still under investigation. He was arrested at his home earlier this year on suspicion of an offense in public office.
Requested a confidential report
The mails discuss, among other things, the fall of Kaupthing and Mountbatten-Windsor’s business partners, but it is not known exactly what is written in them.
Earlier this year, the Telegraph published emails which showed the former prince had requested a confidential report from Treasury officials in 2010 and later shared it with his business partner.
The report dealt with problems in the Icelandic banking system, and the business partner was Jonathan Rowland, whose father, David Rowland, had taken over the Luxembourg arm of Kaupþing, which later became Banque Havilland.
Have a special significance
Jonathan has previously confirmed to the BBC that the messages about an Icelandic bank had been taken from his account and were being investigated.
The BBC report says that this information was in the e-mail archive that was handed over to the palace.
“The emails are of particular significance as they relate to a highly controversial period in Mountbatten-Windsor’s financial dealings with the Rowlands and Banque Havilland, which were later sanctioned by UK and EU regulators,” the BBC reports.
