He reassured the public of his family's full support for the legal proceedings and expressed a commitment to cooperate unconditionally with the authorities involved in the investigation.

In his statement, King Charles emphasized that while the legal process unfolds, it would not be appropriate for him to make further comments regarding the specific circumstances of his brother's arrest. This measured response reflects a recognition of the sensitivity surrounding the issue, balancing the need for due process with the public's right to know about the actions of prominent figures in the monarchy. The King’s remarks highlight the importance he places on legal integrity and accountability, especially in light of his brother's position.
