Monarch expresses ‘profound concern’ over younger brother’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein

The King has given his backing for Buckingham Palace to assist the police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The monarch has authorised his officials to provide support needed to officers.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman added that King Charles had expressed “profound concern” over the claims against his younger brother and repeated his support for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein.

The King was heckled on Monday while on a royal engagement as pressure grew on the Royal family to compel Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to contribute to a police investigation.

The Prince and Princess of Wales made their first public comment about the Epstein files earlier on Monday, issued through their spokesman.

Thames Valley Police have confirmed they are examining allegations that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential data with Epstein when the then Prince Andrew was working as a British trade envoy.

He has separately been accused of sexually assaulting Virginia Guiffre, which he denied, and with whom he settled in a civil claim, and of spending the night with an adult woman who was flown to the UK for sex with him.

Buckingham Palace has not yet been contacted by the police.

A palace spokesman said: “The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct.

“While the specific claims in question are for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them as you would expect. As was previously stated, Their Majesties’ thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse.”

That would be beating a dead horse. But the former Prince Andrew is alive, and beating him would have some impact.

[HYPOCRACY]

Andrew is small potatoes compared to the thousands of rapes of British girls a year by muzzies, but the POS Tampon King knows that.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Charles, formerly known as “Prince,” participated in a lot of Jimmy’s “activities.”

I wonder how much of this might be driven by William. He will be king before too long and I’m sure he has an opinion on how it ought to be handled. And it likely will be his task to handle it eventually.

I think that Elizabeth II may not have allowed Charles to have much of a say for all of those many decades in which he was Prince of Wales. If so, I bet he felt put out and that he should have had some level of say in serious matters. If Charles did feel that he was slighted, then he would feel an obligation to work differently with William.

The era of Margaret, Charles, Anne, Andrew, Diana and Fergie was an era of somewhat loose morals. The Swinging Sixties and beyond. Charles may have some regrets about how his era behaved. I certainly get the impression that William is a serious and moral person, and I’m pretty sure that William thinks the older generation behaved badly. I don’t imagine William has the slightest bit of patience for either his brother or his uncle.

I’m wondering if Markle’s going to show up in the files.

Good Lord these people and this ‘’Medieval make believe’’ they engage in as if it were still the tenth century while their island nation has gone to ruin.

Who’s going to investigate MI5 and MI6 for allowing Epstein and Maxwell access to the UK’s royals, pols, bureaucrats, and businessmen for well over a decade...?

[Sacajaweau]

Queen Elizabeth would not be happy. Charles could have just let it rest...like the Queen did. No class...and terribly jealous of Andrew.
