Police are facing further calls to launch a full investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's role as the UK's trade envoy.
Numerous senior political figures have demanded that the force take action following allegations that the former Duke of York leaked sensitive information to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has previously denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
The accusations came to light after the US Department of Justice released more than three million documents from the Epstein files.
Thames Valley Police previously confirmed that allegations of misconduct in public office relating to Andrew remain at the "assessment" stage, but detectives could launch a full investigation.

To add to the pressure, Steven Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecutions, warned Andrew that "nobody is above the law".
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has weighed in on the matter, saying: "The Epstein revelations are hugely damaging to public trust in our institutions."
He added: "The police are rightfully looking into this, as we need full transparency to get justice for the victims of this abhorrent abuse. That must also include a public inquiry."

Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel shared her thoughts, telling GB News: "Everyone that's been involved should be subject to the right kind of inquiries, police investigations.
"What has taken place and happened is absolutely abhorrent, and it's right that everyone is scrutinised in terms of their roles, what has happened, information, papers that may have been shared and disclosed."
Andrew served as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 to 2011, a role that gave him special access to senior political and business figures.
Documents in the files appear to show that the former prince shared highly sensitive information with Epstein and allegedly organised meetings for him during a trade mission to China.

Other MPs calling for the police to launch a full investigation included senior Conservative MP Alex Burghart, who said: "Leaking sensitive Government information is incredibly serious, and these latest reports about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are therefore extremely concerning.
"No stone should be left unturned to get to the truth... It is vital we find out exactly what happened and due action is taken."
A Reform UK spokesman said: "It is now time that the police launch an investigation into Andrew Mountbatten.
They added: "No one is above the law."

He added: "This specifically relates to documents within the United States Department of Justice's Epstein Files... While we cannot provide timescales over when a decision as to whether a criminal investigation will be opened, we can assure you that Thames Valley Police is making progress as quickly as possible."
Andrew has always vigorously denied any wrongdoing in relation to his connection with Epstein, and just appearing in the files does not suggest any misconduct.
