The latest batch of Jeffrey’s documents has been updated Epstein Jeffrey Epstein, who was released by the US Department of Justice this week, caused a violent shock in the corridors of European royal palaces, causing unprecedented diplomatic and popular crises that directly affected the royal families in both the United Kingdom and Norway.
King Charles lifts the lid on Andrew
In a remarkable development within the United Kingdom, reports revealed that King Charles III expressed deep concern about the new information contained in the files, which included correspondence and photos confirming the depth of the relationship between his brother, Prince Andrew, who became known as Andrew Mount of Windsor, and the convicted businessman Jeffrey Epstein.
A palace spokesman indicated that the king is ready to support any new investigation opened by the British police, in a clear reference to the lifting of the royal cover for his brother, who was recently forced to leave his residence at the Royal Lodge.
According to The Guardian and ABC, the statement stated: The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his deep concern about the allegations that continue to emerge in relation to the conduct of Mr Mountbay-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew)… If Thames Valley Police contact us, we stand ready to support them as expected.
Analysis of the British Royal Palace statement
The Palace spokesman’s use of the name Mr. Mount-Windsor instead of Prince Andrew, or the Duke of York, is a formal and deliberate reference to stripping of official royal status in the context of this case. The statement was quoted by a Palace spokesman, and was not a direct speech from the King, which is the usual protocol in crises to avoid involving the King personally in legal details.
These developments coincide with increasing political pressure, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and prominent labor figures called for Andrew to appear before the US Congress or cooperate fully with the authorities, which puts the British government in an awkward position.
A storm in the Norwegian palace
The Norwegian royal family was not immune from the storm, as documents revealed intense and direct communications between Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Epstein that extended for years, which contradicts previous statements that downplayed that relationship. These leaks come at a very sensitive time for the Norwegian palace, as they coincide with the trial of the princess’s son, Marius Borg Høby, in criminal cases, which has doubled the intensity of the criticism directed at the royal institution in Norway.
Global repercussions of the Epstein documents scandal
Analysts point out that the new documents, which included the names of prominent figures in the Middle East and Europe, have moved the Epstein scandal from being an American criminal case to a global moral crisis that threatens the reputation of ancient sovereign institutions, amid widespread popular demands for transparency and accountability, regardless of titles and positions.
Jeffrey Epstein documents leaks
The Jeffrey Epstein documents, declassified by court order, include thousands of pages of victim testimony and court records related to the civil case against his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. These documents reveal a long list of more than 150 names of prominent politicians, businessmen, and celebrities who were associated with Epstein in various ways, whether as friends, visitors to his private island, or simply acquaintances.
