King Charles III has spoken publicly about the growing controversy surrounding his younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, following the latest release of documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King has expressed deep concern over the allegations and made clear that the monarchy would cooperate with police if formally requested.
Charles previously removed Andrew’s remaining royal titles, and this latest statement reinforces his position. According to the Palace, the King has demonstrated his concern not only through words but also through actions taken over the past year.
A spokesperson said the allegations are ultimately for Andrew himself to address. However, the Palace stressed that it would fully support Thames Valley Police should they seek assistance in relation to the claims.
Police review and fallout from the Epstein files
Thames Valley Police has confirmed it is reviewing information suggesting Andrew may have shared confidential material from his time as the United Kingdom’s trade envoy with Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender. The force has not confirmed whether a formal investigation will follow.
