Buckingham Palace has announced its readiness to cooperate with the British police should they request assistance in the investigation of Prince Andrew's involvement in the Epstein scandal. This declaration comes amidst a growing concern from King Charles about the ongoing allegations surrounding his younger brother's behavior. The Palace's stance indicates a proactive approach in addressing the media scrutiny and public apprehension regarding the royal family's connection to Epstein's accusations.

A spokesperson for the Palace emphasized that it is ultimately up to Prince Andrew to respond to the specific allegations made against him. However, the Palace reassured that they are prepared to support law enforcement if approached by the Thames Valley Police, which covers the Windsor area. This statement highlights the complex dynamics within the royal family as they navigate the implications of the allegations against Andrew while maintaining their public image and responsibilities.

The Palace’s intervention follows previous concerns raised by the representative of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who expressed being 'deeply troubled' by recent revelations regarding Epstein. The royal family's primary focus appears to be on the victims of the scandal, underscoring a sensitivity to the serious nature of the accusations and the impact of the ongoing investigations on public trust in the monarchy.
