The British government on Thursday published documents on the 2001 appointment of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, saying it found no evidence that formal due diligence or security vetting was carried out at the time.

The documents were released after an opposition party used a parliamentary device to request files regarding Andrew 's appointment as a government trade representative.

Andrew, second son of late Queen Elizabeth, served as UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment between 2001 and 2011.
