Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could soon find his past diplomatic duties back in the dock, as MPs signal they are set to examine his time as UK trade envoy.
The chair of the cross-party Business and Trade Committee, Liam Byrne, has made clear that parliamentary scrutiny remains a live possibility.
Speaking to the BBC, Byrne stressed that “nothing is off the table” when it comes to determining whether the former Duke of York’s official role deserves closer scrutiny.
Byrne explained that his priority is to ensure that committee members have a full range of options ready when they reconvene.
While he was careful not to interfere with any active police work, he described the matter as one of “great concern”.
Ed Davey has argued that the controversy risks eroding trust in public institutions and has called for full openness, including the possibility of a public inquiry.
Meanwhile, Priti Patel has insisted that everyone involved must face a proper investigation.
