King Charles Breaks Silence on Andrew Allegations
King Charles III has issued a rare Buckingham Palace statement addressing new allegations connected to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as the Royal Family faces renewed scrutiny following the latest tranche of material linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
In the statement, Express reported that the King said he felt “profound concern” about allegations “in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct” and that Buckingham Palace would support Thames Valley Police “if we are approached.”
The comments came as Prince William continued a high-profile overseas visit, with the King’s intervention drawing attention back to the Andrew controversy at a sensitive moment for the monarchy’s public messaging. The issue has also played out in public settings, including an earlier appearance where the King was challenged by a heckler, as previously reported when King Charles was heckled over Prince Andrew links with Epstein.
The Palace statement also stressed that the claims were “for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to address,” underlining that any further developments will rest with the police and the Duke’s own response. The renewed focus on Andrew has again placed pressure on senior royals to demonstrate distance from the scandal while maintaining institutional stability.
How the Palace manages the fallout is likely to shape the public tone around the King’s reign in the coming weeks, particularly as major royal engagements continue and attention remains fixed on how allegations are handled at the highest level.
