But on the day the disgraced ex-prince left the role in July 2011, Epstein sent an email to an associate blaming Charles, reports Sky News.

According to the outlet, the multimillionaire American paedophile had been in contact with friends about Andrew’s resignation throughout the day of the former prince’s resignation.

In one email, he wrote: “I assume he knows that this is Charles’ doing”.

The message was in response to an email which appears to reference Prince Andrew as “PA”.

It read: “Lots of TV coverage on PA and always big feature on you. Insane.”

While another email saw Epstein say: “I’m sure this is good for him, he will now be free”.

He also sent a news article to Ghislaine Maxwell about Andrew’s resignation who simply responded with the question “why?”

Epstein replied: “I think he wants to make money”.

The emails were revealed in the release by the US Department of Justice of three million documents linked to Epstein.

The Sun previously reported how Peter Mandelson allegedly pushed for Andrew to be trade envoy despite the concerns of King Charles, The Telegraph reported last week.

The former US ambassador said Andrew was “well qualified” for the role despite doubts over whether the disgraced ex-prince was a suitable fit.

But the outlet reports that King Charles, who was Prince at the time, was overruled by the late Queen Elizabeth II with the support of Mandelson.

Despite critics blasting the move at the time, questioning whether Andrew was an appropriate appointment, Mandelson insisted he was “well qualified”.

Andrew was dramatically arrested last week on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.

The 66-year-old spent 11 hours of his birthday in custody being quizzed by officers investigating his ties to paedo pal Epstein after Thames Valley Police officers swooped on his Sandringham home.

He was later released and looked a broken man as he was driven off, with a remarkable photo showing him slumped in the backseat of the car.

Thames Valley Police announced yesterday that they had ended their search of Andrew’s former home at Royal Lodge following his arrest.

Officers began scouring the 30-room property last Thursday when they also raided Andrew’s current temporary address at Wood Farm, on The King’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

TVP previously said it was reviewing claims Andrew allegedly shared sensitive information with his paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.

Cops also confirmed at the time that the force was separately probing allegations a woman was trafficked to the UK by Epstein to have a sexual encounter with Andrew.

Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied wrongdoing.

Misconduct in public office is a serious offence and carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Under official guidance, envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information about official visits.

Trade envoys like Andrew, who quit the taxpayer-funded job in 2011 over his links to Epstein, are bound by the Official Secrets Act.

Andrew was appointed as trade envoy in 2001 and the role meant he had privileged access to business leaders and government figures around the world.

King Charles has said “the law must take its course” after expressing his “deepest concern” over the arrest of his brother Andrew.
