Britain's royal palace ready to support police if asked in case of Andrew's links to Epstein

London - ​Britain's royal palace is prepared to help police if approached in connection ​with former Prince Andrew's links to ‌late U.S. financier and ⁠sex offender Jeffrey ‌Epstein, a spokesperson said on Monday.

King Charles has made clear "his profound concern" at allegations that continue to ​emerge regarding his brother Andrew's conduct, the palace spokesperson said.

"While the specific claims ‌in question ‌are for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we ⁠are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them," the spokesperson said ⁠in a statement ⁠to media.

The Thames Valley ‌police force has said ‌it is looking into an allegation involving a woman brought to Andrew's ‍residence and documents allegedly shared with Epstein.

The king's brother has used the family name Mountbatten-Windsor since being stripped of his title as prince by the king last year over earlier ​revelations about ‌his relationship to Epstein.
