allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The
palace's position includes the following key points:
- Willingness to Cooperate: A spokesperson stated that if approached by Thames Valley Police, the Palace will support them "as you would expect".
- The King’s Stance: King Charles III expressed his "profound concern" regarding the allegations that continue to emerge. The Palace clarified that while it will assist police, any specific claims are for Andrew himself to address.
- Victim Support: The statement emphasized that the King and Queen's thoughts and sympathies remain with the victims of "any and all forms of abuse".
- The Allegations: Thames Valley Police are currently assessing reports that Andrew may have shared confidential British trade documents with Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 while serving as a UK trade envoy. There are also fresh claims concerning a woman allegedly trafficked to a residence in Windsor.
- Broader Royal Response: Prince William and Princess Catherine also released a statement through Kensington Palace, expressing they are "deeply concerned" by the ongoing revelations.
- These developments follow the release of over three million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Department of Justice, which have renewed scrutiny of Andrew’s past conduct.
