THE Prince and Princess of Wales have publicly addressed the Jeffrey Epstein scandal for the first time, expressing their deep concern, amid the ongoing revelations surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as the King faced further heckling over his disgraced brother.

The reignited crisis which has engulfed both the monarchy and Westminster has shown little sign of abating since the United States authorities' recent dump of millions of documents associated with the late paedophile financier, Epstein.

Kensington Palace said William and Kate have been "deeply concerned" and their thoughts remain focused on the victims. It is the first time the views of the prince and princess have been known on the scandal.
