Prince William ducks Epstein shout in Saudi as King Charles caves to police pressure

Prince William got an awkward shout about “the Andrew and Epstein scandal” while visiting a girls’ football session in Saudi Arabia and, surprise, didn’t answer. The moment hit as King Charles made a rare public intervention back home, saying the Palace would assist police if an investigation is opened into allegations tied to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. While the headlines screamed monarchy crisis, William’s schedule churned out glossy optics anyway, including an esports stop where he admitted, “I have no idea what I’m doing,” before losing at Rocket League alongside Saudi royals. Sky’s Rhiannon Mills and ITV’s Chris Ship say the timing of the two palace statements was no accident and that the royal “keep calm and carry on” machine is now working under the Epstein shadow everywhere it goes. The episode ends with US Congressman Ro Khanna warning the monarchy is at its most vulnerable and urging Andrew to testify.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.
