Why King Charles refused to meet Brother Andrew in person

The controversy surrounding Andrew intensified last month when investigators began looking into allegations that he passed confidential information to Epstein while serving as the United Kingdom’s special representative for international trade and investment.

Andrew has always denied wrongdoing and no charges have been filed.

After his arrest, Charles issued a carefully worded public statement discussing the situation.

The monarch said: “I have read with the greatest concern the news of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the suspicion of misconduct in public office.”

Charles, who is still battling an undisclosed form of cancer, added: ‘What follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this matter is investigated in the right way and by the right authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and sincere support and cooperation.”

Charles continued: “Let me be clear: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on this matter.”

He concluded: “In the meantime, my family and I will continue our duty and service to all of you. Charles R.”
