A briefing document that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sent to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly contained details about investment prospects in gold and uranium located in Afghanistan. The BBC has reviewed a file prepared for Andrew by UK officials during his tenure as a trade envoy, which he subsequently shared with Epstein in December 2010.

This revelation follows earlier BBC reporting indicating that Andrew had described the document as “confidential” in an email found among the latest batch of Epstein files.

The briefing outlined local economic conditions and highlighted natural resources such as marble, gold, iridium, uranium, thorium, as well as potential oil and gas deposits, noting the potential for low-cost extraction
