Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Prince William and Duchess Kate issued a public statement through Kensington Palace on the 9th, expressing “deep concern” over the latest revelations in the scandal involving the late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and stating that their focus is on the victims.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson stated that the Prince and Duchess are deeply concerned about the ongoing revelations and that their thoughts remain with the victims. This statement marks the first time the couple has publicly addressed the Epstein scandal.
Recently, the United States released several documents related to Epstein, bringing to light further allegations against former Prince Andrew, escalating the controversy. The documents concern Prince Andrew's long-standing relationship with Epstein, the authenticity of related photographs, and allegations of leaking classified information while in public office, placing the British Royal Family under immense public pressure.
The statement was released as Prince William prepares for a “diplomatically significant” official visit to Saudi Arabia. British media reports that the royal family hopes this statement will respond to public scrutiny and ensure the smooth progress of the visit. However, the statement is unlikely to completely quell public doubts about the royal family's handling of the scandals surrounding former Prince Andrew.
Currently, British police are assessing new charges against former Prince Andrew.
Previously, King Charles III had already stripped former Prince Andrew of his royal titles and related positions, and he no longer performs any royal duties. (End)
