London Palace Confirms Support for Police Probe into Prince Andrew's Ties with Jeffrey Epstein
In a statement released on Monday, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III will support the UK police in their investigation into former Prince Andrew's alleged ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The palace said that while specific claims regarding Prince Andrew's conduct are for him to address, the king is ready to provide his full cooperation and support to Thames Valley Police as they assess the reports.
This comes after it was revealed that Prince Andrew had sent confidential information to Epstein in 2010. The UK police force has launched an inquiry into this matter after news organizations reported on recently uncovered emails that suggest Prince Andrew shared trade reports from a tour of Southeast Asia with Epstein.
King Charles III made his concerns about Prince Andrew's conduct clear, stating that "the King has made clear... his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct."
The palace also reiterated the king's and Queen Camilla's support for the victims of Epstein's abuse.
Meanwhile, anti-monarchy campaigner Graham Smith has reported Prince Andrew for suspected misconduct in public office and breaches of Britain's Official Secrets Act as a result of the emails. Thames Valley Police have confirmed receipt of this report and are assessing the information.
The investigation is another blow to the royal family, which is already facing scrutiny over its handling of Prince Andrew's relationship with Epstein. The former prince has denied all wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
In a statement, Prince William and Princess Catherine expressed their concerns about the documents released by the US Justice Department, which reveal the web of rich and powerful people that Epstein used to exploit young women and girls.

this is soooo sad for the victims... i can imagine how hard it must be for them to keep hearing these allegations over and over again, especially with someone as influential as Prince Andrew involved 
he needs to take responsibility for his actions, you know? 
its not just about him, though - its about the impact this has on all of us who care about justice and fairness 
like what's next is gonna be his royal family doing a documentary on how they enable pedophiles lol i dont blame king charles for wanna cooperate tho, those cops need proof lol. 
anyway this palace statement was pretty clear no excuses for prince andrews behavior lol. the fact that graham smith reported him is wild too. like does he really think they're gonna let him get away with it? 
I'm low-key surprised that Buckingham Palace is finally taking action on this... Prince Andrew's ties with Epstein are some sketchy stuff 
. Did u know that in 2010 alone, Epstein's network of victims numbered over 40? 
80% of them were minors 
. And it's crazy to think that Prince Andrew was sharing confidential info with him 
.
. But since Epstein was a "socialite" and all that 
. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew's reputation is taking a major hit 
.
And what about those royal relatives who are distancing themselves from Prince Andrew 
. This whole saga is just so... messy 
People may forget what their fathers do impossibly well!
sending confidential info to epstein in 2010? red flag right there 
like who does that?! 
and now the palace is supporting the police probe which means they're finally taking this seriously 
hopefully it'll lead to some serious consequences for him
