The police raided Andrew’s Norfolk home this morning
The partial release of the Epstein files by the US government has shifted the focus back to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in recent months.
Last October, amid growing anxiety within the royal household about the reputational risk to the monarchy caused by headlines concerning his friendship with Epstein, Buckingham Palace announced it would strip him of his royal titles.
Make no mistake, this is a result of Republic’s action. We reported Andrew to the police when others were unwilling to act. Republic has been instigating a private prosecution when the police were reluctant to investigate.
Republic’s lawyers will continue to investigate related alleged offences and provide information to the police over the coming weeks and months.
The police must follow all evidence wherever it leads.
In the meantime, Charles and William need to speak up and admit to whatever they have known.
