King Charles has released his first statement after his disgraced brother Andrew moved out of the Royal Lodge.
According to a report by the Reuters, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the younger brother of King Charles, has moved out of his mansion on the royal estate in Windsor, a royal source confirmed on Wednesday, following new damaging revelations about his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew’s exit from Royal Lodge, his home for decades, marks a new low for the former prince, following years of scrutiny over his connections to Epstein, a scandal that has cast a shadow over Britain's royal family.
Citing the Sun, the report further says, "With the latest batch of Epstein files it was made clear to him that it was time to go. Leaving was so humiliating for him that he chose to do it under the cover of darkness."
Andrew moved under the cover of darkness on Monday and was driven to a cottage in Sandringham, the king's estate in Norfolk, in eastern England.
Following these reports, the palace on behalf of King Charles shared a statement to mark World Cancer Day.
The palace said, “On #WorldCancerDay, we recognise the extraordinary “community of care” that surrounds every person affected by cancer, and the specialists, researchers and volunteers who work tirelessly to save and improve lives.”
It further said, “Across the United Kingdom, members of The Royal Family are proud to support organisations advancing research, treatment and compassionate care.”
