LONDON (AP) — Prince William and Princess Catherine expressed concern for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein in a statement released Monday, the latest move by the British monarchy to distance itself from revelations about the former Prince Andrew’s relationship with the convicted sex offender.

Britain’s most popular royals say that they were appalled by the contents of more than 3 million pages of documents released earlier this month by the U.S. Department of Justice.

“I can confirm that the Prince and Princess of Wales have been deeply concerned by the continued revelations,’’ the palace said in a statement. “Their thoughts remain focused on the victims.”

The statement released ahead of William’s three-day trip to Saudi Arabia, which begins Monday, is part of the monarchy’s response to the escalating crisis surrounding the former prince, who was stripped of his royal titles in October after previous revelations about his relationship with Epstein. King Charles III’s 65-year-old brother is now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

[Deuxcents]

1. The British, the French and Spain and now Poland have been involved

And investigating and holding some to account. We’re still not getting anywhere near their standards

2. His victim committed suicide, while his punishment is to be "now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor".

3. Virginia

4. Thank you for saying her name. Virginia Giuffre. Her family want her remembered, and have been speaking out.

I sometimes am hesitant about encroaching upon the privacy of victims, however her family have been speaking out and want her remembered.

5. JFC, huffpo, you are not quoting William and Catherine, you are

reporting that "the Palace said". Not quite the same thing.

7. Huff Post is using an AP story (most likely an earlier one - note the time stamp)

so you can blame Associated Press.

8. I blame nearly all of what passes for "journalism" these days. Barely

literate, barely above tabloid level.

9. I would agree with that!

USA Today had their own version - Prince William and Princess Kate speak out about Epstein files

where they had this -

"I can confirm The Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focused on the victims," a Kensington Palace spokesperson said in a statement to the media on Feb. 9 ahead of William traveling to Saudi Arabia.

The couple's statement comes more than a week after the U.S. Department of Justice released additional files related to investigations into Epstein.
