Ainsley in ABC Australia: UK political crisis deepens after PM’s chief of staff quits

  • February 9, 2026
  • Claire Ainsley

Buckingham Palace says King Charles is ready to support any police investigation into his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

British police have confirmed they are assessing information provided to them, allegedly showing that the former prince Andrew had passed confidential reports to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while the former royal was British trade envoy more than a decade ago.

Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on the British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to resign over a decision to hire Lord Peter Mandelson as the UK’s ambassador to Washington.

The former ambassador’s name appears thousands of times in the files.
