In a rare public statement, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, recently addressed the ongoing fallout from the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents. Speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Edward was asked how he was “coping” with the revelations. He quickly shifted the focus, asserting the crucial importance of remembering the true victims in this widespread scandal.
The Duke’s comments come as millions more pages of documents tied to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein have been made public. These documents unfortunately shine a harsh light on Edward’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Prince Andrew appears multiple times in the records, with images allegedly showing him in Epstein’s New York mansion and email exchanges revealing unsettling interactions, including an invitation to Buckingham Palace and Andrew seemingly telling Epstein, “Wish I was still a pet in your family.”
While Prince Andrew vehemently denies any wrongdoing, he settled a multi-million-pound lawsuit with his main accuser, Virginia Giuffre, in 2022 – a woman he claims never to have met. He was also stripped of his royal titles last year. Now, adding to the growing pressure, lawyers for a second accuser are urging King Charles to contact them, alleging their client was sent to the UK for a sexual encounter with Andrew. As the truth continues to unfold, Edward’s call to focus on the victims serves as a stark reminder of the human cost at the heart of this enduring saga.
