The scandal surrounding the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein has reached such filth and revelations that keeping it quiet is becoming dangerous for the monarchy.

The Daily Mail writes about this.
Therefore, Prince William and Kate Middleton commented publicly on the scandal for the first time, stating that they are “deeply concerned” about what is happening and that their attention is focused on victims of sexual assault.
The statement came amid a new wave of publications from the Epstein archives, which in recent days have once again embroiled the world's elite, including members of the British royal family, in scandal. The comment was made through a Kensington Palace spokesman during Prince William's official visit to Saudi Arabia.

“I can confirm that the Prince and Princess of Wales are deeply concerned by the ongoing revelations. Their thoughts remain with the victims,” a palace spokesman told reporters in Riyadh.
This is William and Kate's first official public statement on the Epstein case. According to palace sources, the couple had previously deliberately avoided commenting, but the current scale and nature of the new materials have made silence impossible.
The Welsh's statement echoes the position of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who expressed support for victims of sexual assault back in October last year. At the time, Buckingham Palace stressed that “Their Majesties' thoughts were and remain with the victims and survivors.”

Against this backdrop, the position of Prince Andrew, whose long-standing ties to Epstein continue to surface in new documents, is increasingly contrasting. The Duke of York has never publicly expressed sympathy for the victims of his former friend's crimes and has reportedly even refused to sign neutral statements of support.
The topic resurfaced last week at the World Government Summit in Dubai, where Prince Edward was asked about the royal family's reaction.
“I think it's always very important to remember the victims and who suffered in this whole story,” he noted.
Jeffrey Epstein, accused of running a global child sex trafficking ring, was found dead in a prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. His accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a prison sentence for recruiting girls to rape her. Prince Andrew, who denies allegations by Virginia Giuffre that he had sex with her when she was 17, lost his royal titles and effectively went into isolation. His famous interview in which he claimed to have “broken off” with Epstein in 2010 was later retracted.

Against this background, William and Kate's words became an important signal – for the first time, the future king and his wife clearly outlined their position in one of the most toxic scandals of recent years.

Let us remind you that President Donald Trump himself may find himself under the rubble of the Epstein case, as there is quite a lot of compromising material on him in the case.
