Epstein Files Renew Scrutiny of UK Royals and Starmer (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, have broken their silence on the Epstein crisis, engulfing the palace and British politics. A spokesperson saying, I can confirm the Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focused on the victims. Reflecting comments recently made to CNN by Prince Edward, who also put the victims front of mind. So this latest statement from the palace comes as Prince William started a tour of Saudi Arabia, which was meant to highlight ties between the UK and Saudi Arabia. But questions about Epstein were inevitable after the latest release of Epstein files, which appeared to show that William's uncle, the former Prince Andrew, had a deeper relationship with Epstein than we knew. There were more emails and photos. Those files also revealed that the former UK ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, had a deeper relationship with Epstein than we knew. It was the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who appointed Peter Mandelson, and many of the politicians in his own party are currently questioning Starmer's leadership right now. Just appearing in the Epstein files or being associated with people in the Epstein files doesn't imply any criminal wrongdoing, but it is creating a crisis for both the royal family and the British government.
