The royal family’s concerns are far from over even after releasing a clear statement about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the ongoing police investigation into his alleged crimes.
So far, King Charles has been booed on two separate occasions: Camilla recently dodged a journalist’s question about the Epstein investigation and Prince William also appeared to shrug it off when a journalist booed him earlier this week in Saudi Arabia.
Critics believe it is an error of judgment on the part of the royal who continues to protect the disgraced former Duke of York.
Amid these crises, the royal family is being urged to be “more open and honest” about allegations about former Prince Andrew that have emerged in the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice.
According to Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, he stressed that the royals should recognize the “serious problems” involving Andrew and the police should “feel free to investigate and go where the evidence leads, without repercussions on their part.”
he said GB News that being open about the dire situation is “the minimum that would be expected of anyone, let alone the head of state.”
Graham emphasized that there should be “no expectation of favorable treatment from the police” and that royalty should be “subject to the same laws as everyone else.”
The royals must provide updated information on the matter as the investigation progresses so that the public can trust them.
Police should have “free access to any document they want, share it publicly, like what US authorities are doing, and put everything they can into the public domain voluntarily.”
The renewed demands come after Buckingham Palace issued a statement from the King on February 9, stating that the monarch “made clear, in words and through unprecedented action, his deep concern about the allegations that continue to come to light regarding Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct.”
He noted that if “Thames Valley Police approach the Palace, we are ready to support them as would be expected.”
