It doesn't say anything about documents. But from what it says about IPO, that charge could include all kinds of things:

The investigation surrounds Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s role as a trade envoy, which he took up in 2001. The former prince stepped down 10 years later amid the furore over his friendship with Epstein.

MIPO is a criminal offence that concerns serious wilful abuse, or neglect, of the power or responsibilities pertaining to the public office held. The force said it is a “crime that can take many different forms”, resulting in a “complex” and potentially lengthy investigation.

A source previously said police feared that people believe their investigation is focused solely on possible financial criminality, but this “couldn’t be further from the truth”.

“Misconduct in public office covers many others, including sex offences, fraud, corruption, perverting the course of justice and others,” they added.
