Documents show Queen Elizabeth was "very keen" that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince, be given the job of U.K. trade envoy, as the U.K. government on Thursday released the confidential papers related to his appointment in 2001, which later proved controversial due to his links to American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
