Camden (North London News) April 6, 2026 – Queen Camilla sidestepped questions from reporters about Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and the Royal Family’s potential role in the ongoing investigation as she visited Christ Church Primary School in Camden this morning.

The Queen, Patron of the National Literacy Trust, arrived smiling and greeting with a ‘Morning’ before entering the school to open its new library.

A reporter directly asked: ‘Good morning, Your Majesty. Will the Royal Family help the Epstein investigation? Do you have a message for Epstein’s victims, Your Majesty?’ Camilla did not respond, proceeding straight inside, as captured in footage widely shared online.

This encounter unfolds against heightened scrutiny of Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles’s brother, triggered by the US Department of Justice’s release of three million Epstein-related files on Friday. The documents include disturbing images of Andrew and fresh claims linking him to the paedophile financier.

What Happened During Queen Camilla’s School Visit?

Queen Camilla’s visit to Christ Church Primary School centred on her patronage role with the National Literacy Trust. As reported by Rebecca English, Royal Editor of the Daily Mail, the Queen stepped out of her car in high spirits before facing the press.

The reporter’s questions pierced the otherwise routine engagement, highlighting the Epstein saga’s intrusion into royal duties.

The video, shared by former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt on X (formerly Twitter), shows Camilla’s non-response. Hunt wrote:

‘The British media must continue to do the right thing – despite the letters of outrage they may well receive from Buckingham Palace – and try and hold senior royals to account over Andrew and Epstein. Next up – Prince William in Saudi Arabia, next week.’

Hunt’s commentary underscores media pressure amid Prince William’s impending first official visit to Saudi Arabia next week, requested by the UK Government.

Why Is Prince Andrew Under Renewed Scrutiny?

The latest US Department of Justice files have reignited focus on Andrew’s ties to Epstein. As detailed in the Daily Mail’s coverage by Harriet Alexander, the three million pages feature photos of Andrew crouched on all fours over a woman, staring at the camera in one and placing his left hand on her stomach in another.

A second Epstein victim has alleged she was trafficked to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes with Andrew. Thames Valley Police stated on Tuesday:

‘We are aware of reports’ of this woman. They added:

‘We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.’

This marks the second such claim. Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide last April, alleged Epstein sent her to London in 2001 at age 17 to have sex with Andrew. She claimed further encounters in New York and on Epstein’s private Caribbean island in 2001 and 2002. Andrew has always strongly denied wrongdoing. Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in 2021, settled out of court for an estimated £12 million the following year.

What Did Prince Edward Say About the Epstein Files?

Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, 61, broke royal silence yesterday at the World Governments Summit in Dubai. As reported by Chris Pleasance of the Daily Mail, when asked about the revelations, Edward replied:

‘Well, with the best will in the world, I’m not sure this is the audience that is probably the least bit interested in that. They all came here to listen to education, solving the future, but no, I think it’s all really important always to remember the victims and who are the victims in all this? A lot of victims in this.’

Edward, brother to both Andrew and King Charles, emphasised victim remembrance, marking the first royal comment on the new files.

Will the Royal Family Assist the Epstein Investigation?

Queen Camilla’s silence leaves the question unanswered. No official royal statement has addressed cooperation. The Palace has historically maintained Andrew’s denials, but the fresh files and allegations intensify calls for transparency.

Peter Hunt’s post amplifies demands for accountability, predicting scrutiny on other royals like William.

What Is the Response from UK Police?

Thames Valley Police’s Tuesday statement confirms awareness but no formal complaint. Their full quote, as per the Daily Mail:

‘We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.’

This follows reports of the second victim’s claim, distinct from Giuffre’s.

What Do US and UK Leaders Say About Prince Andrew Testifying?

US Vice President JD Vance, speaking to the Daily Mail on Tuesday, supported summoning Andrew before US lawmakers. As reported by Josh Boswell, Vance said:

‘I saw Keir Starmer said something about this’,

adding:

‘I’m certainly open to it.’

This echoes UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s suggestion that Andrew testify, amid transatlantic pressure.

Has King Charles Taken Action Against Prince Andrew?

King Charles has accelerated Andrew’s eviction from Royal Lodge in Windsor. Originally set for temporary Sandringham estate accommodation next Tuesday, the move was rushed after the new Epstein revelations. Sources cited by the Daily Mail indicate the King grew frustrated seeing photos of Andrew horse riding amid the crisis.

Andrew, stripped of his HRH style and military titles, continues to deny all allegations.

Who Was Virginia Giuffre and What Were Her Claims?

Virginia Giuffre’s allegations formed the core of prior scrutiny. The Daily Mail’s extensive coverage notes she claimed three sexual encounters with Andrew: London (2001), New York, and Little St James island. Andrew settled her lawsuit without admitting liability. Her death in April 2025 closed a chapter, but files sustain the narrative.

What Photos Emerged in the Epstein Files?

The files include images of Andrew in compromising poses: on all fours over a woman, staring at the camera, hand on her stomach. These, per Daily Mail reports, amplify visual evidence of his Epstein associations.

What Lies Ahead for the Royals?

Prince William’s Saudi trip looms, with Hunt flagging it for scrutiny. Edward’s victim-focused remarks contrast Camilla’s silence. As Epstein files proliferate, the Royal Family navigates accountability demands while Andrew’s future residence shifts.

The Palace has not commented further. Andrew maintains innocence. Investigations continue, with police urging tips.
