Prince William and Kate Break Their Silence on Epstein Scandal, Showing Great Sympathy to the Victims
Prince William and Kate Reveal What They Feel Following Epstein Scandal and Keep Focus on the Victims
The Prince and Princess of Wales have spoken out on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, saying that they are “deeply disturbed” by the constant revelations. Prince William and Kate underlined that their “thoughts have always been with the victims” of the child predator and his global network.
This public announcement was made at the same time as Prince William and Kate’s representative confirmed their position as the Prince set foot in Riyadh for a state visit to Saudi Arabia. The statement comes just ten days after the Royal Family was affected by new information from the Epstein files, which marks a major change from the situation with other family members.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson reiterated the couple’s stance today by saying that Prince William and Kate have echoed the sentiments already expressed by the King and Queen. Although this is their first public comment on the issue, sources revealed that the couple has always been in agreement with the position of Buckingham Palace regarding the support of abuse survivors.
Charles and Camilla Spearhead Royal Backing to Epstein Victims Amid Turning Away of Prince Andrew
The first senior members of the royal family to publicly lend their backing to the women and girls sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were King Charles and Queen Camilla. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew has not only failed to tender a sympathetic gesture towards the victims but, according to reports, has even denied going to press statements with a general offering of support.
“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse,” was a statement from Buckingham Palace in October last year.
Last week, at a press Q&A session at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Prince Edward particularly stressed the necessity of keeping in mind the victims. He first jokingly suggested that the audience may not be quite interested but finally said, “I think it’s all really important always to remember the victims and who are the victims in all of this.”
Jeffrey Epstein, a financier who was known to socialise with the world’s most influential figures, was found dead in his jail cell in 2019 when he was to stand trial for the alleged operation of a global child sex trafficking network. His partner, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, has been convicted and is now serving time in prison for helping Epstein recruit underage girls.
Prince Andrew’s Fall from Grace: Stripped of Titles and Exiled after Epstein Scandal Revelations
The Duke of York, who was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, flatly denies that Virginia Roberts was forced to have sex with him when she was 17. Nevertheless, he has been deprived of his royal titles and has practically been sent to live in Norfolk.
Andrew has made a big deal about it when he stated during a Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis that he had broken off relations with Epstein during a visit to the latter’s New York mansion in December 2010. On the other hand, documents recently made public disclose emails that contradict his story, indicating that visits involving underage girls arriving “after school” and $5,000 in cash “floats” were discussed.
The full picture of the visit to Epstein’s house has been revealed in these disclosures, and it turns out that Andrew had fooled BBC viewers regarding the nature of his relationship with Epstein.
Prince Andrew’s longer stay at Epstein’s and shocking emails about young girls have been revealed by new evidence
Emails that went against the Prince’s statement where he said that he only stayed at Epstein’s “four days”, have revealed that he actually stayed for nine days. The documents show a figure/calendar full of the meetings and parties, started by a cosmetic treatment of “facial”.
What is extremely shocking is that many emails from that very week spoke about young girls who seemed to still go to school. One message even confirmed the girl “would come after school,” and another one said “coming after school.” It is not known if the different messages are referencing the same person as they were sent from different devices. Moreover, it adds to the confusion when speaking about “school” in the US, it can also refer to college.
