Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces fresh scrutiny after police confirmed early inquiries linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged visits to Balmoral.
Police Scotland confirmed the development on October 30.
Andrew, who previously has denied any wrongdoing in relation to late convicted sex offender Epstein, is reported to have hosted the disgraced financier and Ghislaine Maxwell at Balmoral.
The Daily Express reported allegations that women had been trafficked to the royal estate.
However, the force has not confirmed that those allegations are the focus of its inquiries.
What Police Scotland has said about Balmoral
A Police Scotland spokesperson told PEOPLE: “We have received information and active inquiries are ongoing but these are at a very early stage. All inquiries are evidence led, with the needs of victim survivors at the heart of those inquiries.
“We would never confirm details of ongoing inquiries and it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s links to Balmoral
A photograph believed to show Epstein and Maxwell at a log cabin on the Balmoral grounds previously emerged.
Earlier this year, Police Scotland appealed for information about a reported September 2006 flight into Edinburgh Airport.
The Times reported that Andrew and Maxwell had travelled aboard Epstein’s private jet.
Balmoral, in Aberdeenshire, was owned by Queen Elizabeth II at the time of the reported visits. The estate now belongs to King Charles.
