King Charles made his first appearance as the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor investigation deepens over alleged sex offences.
The monarch, who has ousted his disgraced brother following the release of harrowing details in the Epstein files, had previously assured the public that Buckingham Palace staff stands “ready to support” the police in any way required.
It had been a busy and tumultuous week for Charles when the Thames Valley Police made a fresh appeal for Epstein victims to come forward.
Charles has been making prudent moves, considering the sensitivity of the case, but he somewhat assured the public that business is usual even if Andrew faces the consequences of his actions.
The King made his first appearance after the Police appeal at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to watch the performance of The Tempest.
“During the visit, His Majesty met with RSC Co-Artistic Directors Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, members of our in-house Costume Department, and the cast and creative team of The Tempest, including director Richard Eyre and Kenneth Branagh who is playing the role of Prospero,” the statement.
The appeal from the police comes three months after Andrew’s arrest and they identified “multiple lines of inquiry” in what is being described as a “significant investigation” by the force.
It also follows the distressing blunder made by a UK radio station, accidently setting off the monarch’s death announcement protocol due to a “computer error”. It has understood to send panic at the Palace but the Radio Station immediately issued an apology to the King.
