"The comments, released by a Kensington Palace spokesperson as William traveled to Saudi Arabia for an official visit, marked the first time Britain's most popular royals have expressed their views on the scandal since the U.S. Justice Department's release of more than 3 million pages of documents in late January revealed how Epstein used a web of rich, powerful people to abuse women and girls."
"I can confirm that the Prince and Princess of Wales have been deeply concerned by the continued revelations," the spokesman said. "Their thoughts remain focused on the victims."
"The latest released emails appear to show that Andrew sent Epstein reports from a 2010 tour of Southeast Asia that the then-prince took as Britain's envoy for international trade. Earlier, Andrew appeared to share the itinerary for the two-week trip to Hanoi, Saigon, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong with Epstein."
Kensington Palace released a statement saying Prince William and Princess Catherine have been deeply concerned for Jeffrey Epstein's victims and remain focused on them. The statement coincided with William's travel to Saudi Arabia and represented the first public comment from the leading royals since the U.S. Justice Department released more than 3 million pages of documents in late January revealing Epstein's network of powerful people who abused women and girls. The monarchy issued the statement amid an escalating crisis over former Prince Andrew after emails showed he maintained extensive correspondence with Epstein even after Epstein's imprisonment. Public reaction surfaced during King Charles's visit to Lancashire, where a member of the crowd asked how long the king had known about Andrew.
