King Charles III's younger brother, Prince Edward, has become the first royal to break silence on Epstein emails, urging people to 'remember the victims.'

The Duke of Edinburgh won hearts with his brave stand as he  made the comments during an appearance at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.

The 61-year-old royal, in response to being asked how he was coping by a CNN journalist, said: "Well, with the best will in the world, I’m not sure this is the audience that is the least bit interested in that."

The move seems to be strong message to  his younger brother Andrew, who features a number of times in the documents, including images apparently showing him crouch over an unidentified woman in what appears to be Epstein’s New York mansion.

The former dDuke and SDuchess of York  appear in a number of email exchanges with Epstein in the latest document dump, with Andrew appearing to invite him to Buckingham Palace, and Sarah apparently saying: "I am at your service. Just marry me."

Epstein also appears to introduce  Andrew to a woman described by the paedophile as "26, Russian, clever, beautiful, trustworthy", while in the same month, teh disgraced royal also apparently tells Epstein: "Wish I was still a pet in your family."

However, King Charles brother vehemently denies any wrongdoing.

Andrew stepped down from royal duties in 2019 after an interview on BBC Newsnight.

He was stripped of his titles by the King last year after the posthumous publication of a book from Ms Giuffre, who alleged she was trafficked by Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17.
