(BBC) – The Prince and Princess of Wales have said they are “deeply concerned” by the latest revelations about Jeffrey Epstein in their first public statement on the scandal.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson said Prince William and Princess Catherine were “focused on the victims” in light of new information contained in documents related to the late sex offender released in the US.
The statement was released after more allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor emerged, increasing the scrutiny on the former prince.
A royal spokesperson said: “I can confirm The Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations.
“Their thoughts remain focused on the victims.”
Although the two-line statement from the Prince and Princess of Wales made no direct reference to Epstein, Andrew or his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who has also faced further questions in light of the latest document release, it remains significant, if not explicit.
