The paper claimed this was part of a pattern of invitations given by Edwards, who was among the BBC’s top news presenters.
Edwards, 62, left the corporation in April this year, having come off the air last year after the revelations that he had paid a youngster to send explicit photos.
The police decided that Edwards had not committed any crimes in that instance, but the episode effectively ended the presenter’s career.
In a later incident, police found Edwards’ number in the phone of a paedophile in Wales.
That led to him being arrested in November last year and charged with three counts of possessing indecent images of children. He pleaded guilty to the offences on Wednesday, and will be sentenced in September.
Prince Philip’s funeral took place in April 2021 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, when indoor mixing was still banned under pandemic rules.
Edwards reportedly told the producer he was staying overnight in Windsor, and sent him photos of the suite and told them they could have stayed there.
When asked if there was a spare room, he said no but added that there was “plenty of room”.
Edwards is also said to have sent the producer invitations to spend time together in London.
He began messaging the younger colleague after they followed him on social media.
The producer said that Edwards “put quite a lot of pressure” to meet up, which they found “odd and very inappropriate”.
