We were deeply concerned to learn about the allegations against Prince Andrew regarding potential misconduct while in public office,” a statement said. “Now, the proper authorities will conduct a full and fair investigation into the matter.

As I’ve mentioned previously, we fully support and will cooperate with them,” the 77-year-old stated. “To be clear, the legal process must be allowed to proceed.”

Though, he won’t be speaking out on the topic more.

Charles finished by saying that because the situation is still developing, he couldn’t share any more details. He and his family will, however, keep working hard and serving the public as always.
