Prince William, heir to the British throne, and his wife Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, have expressed deep concern over the latest developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case, emphasizing that their thoughts remain firmly with the victims. Kensington Palace confirmed on Monday that the couple is troubled by the continuing revelations linked to the late American sex offender.
These remarks mark the first public comments from the Prince and Princess of Wales since new Epstein-related files were released more than a week ago. The renewed scrutiny has once again drawn attention to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with the case.
In recent days, Prince Andrew left his residence on the Windsor royal estate and moved to the monarch’s private property in Sandringham, Norfolk, reportedly following a decision by King Charles III. The move comes as pressure mounts on the royal family to manage the fallout from the ongoing scandal.
While the controversy continues to cast a shadow over the monarchy, Prince William remains active on the international stage. On Monday, he began a three-day official visit to Saudi Arabia, where he is scheduled to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The visit aims to strengthen trade, energy, investment, and defense ties between the United Kingdom and the Gulf state, according to Kensington Palace.
The statement from the Prince and Princess of Wales underlines a clear focus on compassion for victims, as the British royal family navigates renewed public attention surrounding the Epstein case.
