Palace backs police as Epstein-linked Prince Andrew probe unfolds

Buckingham Palace said it would support Thames Valley Police if approached as authorities assess a report that Prince Andrew shared confidential material with Jeffrey Epstein during his trade envoy years; DOJ files reportedly show Andrew forwarded an Epstein-linked confidential brief and travel reports in 2010, prompting questions about confidentiality duties for trade envoys. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing, while King Charles expressed concern as the police review continues, adding to the ongoing scrutiny of his ties to Epstein.
