Queen Camilla chose not to respond to inquiries regarding Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal during a royal event today. The 78-year-old was at a primary school in North London while her disgraced brother-in-law, who recently relocated from Royal Lodge to the Sandringham estate, faced fresh accusations.
New allegations include a claim that a second woman was brought to the UK by Jeffrey Epstein for an encounter with Andrew, and that Epstein and Andrew allegedly asked an exotic dancer for a threesome at Epstein’s Florida residence. Despite being stripped of his titles by the King last year, the former duke has consistently denied any misconduct.
Upon her arrival at Christ Church CE Primary School in Camden this morning to inaugurate a library, Camilla was approached by a reporter inquiring about the Royal Family’s involvement in the Epstein investigation and any message for Epstein’s victims. The Queen declined to respond and proceeded directly into the school building.
During the school visit, the Queen unveiled the new ‘Coronation Library’ for students, as part of a commemoration of Their Majesties’ ascension to the throne. A strong advocate for literacy, the Queen, who serves as the patron of the National Literacy Trust, was pleased to witness the students’ enthusiasm for the new library addition.
The school visit marked the opening of the first Coronation Library in a school during the 2026 National Year of Reading, a joint effort by the Department of Education and National Literacy Trust to reignite people’s passion for reading across all age groups.
Accompanied by executive headteacher Lee Duffy and author Tola Okogwu, the Queen first met with student librarians and then participated in an interactive session with Key Stage Two students led by children’s author Chris Smith.
Adorned in a brown cashmere coat by Anna Valentine and a distinctive £7,000 Jack Russell dog brooch by Van Cleef and Arpels, the Queen engaged with reception-aged children discussing their favorite books.
The reporter’s questions upon her arrival came after Andrew was prominently featured in the latest Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice, including images showing him with an unidentified woman at Epstein’s New York residence.
In a separate incident, Epstein introduced Andrew to a woman described as “26, Russian, clevere, beautiful, and trustworthy,” while Andrew expressed a desire to remain connected to Epstein’s circle. Prince Edward, Andrew’s younger brother, recently acknowledged the importance of remembering the victims in the Epstein scandal during a public appearance.
During the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Prince Edward emphasized the significance of acknowledging the victims amidst the release of new files related to the scandal. The King was photographed participating in a traditional ceremony welcoming the new Archbishop of Canterbury at Buckingham Palace.
Dame Sarah Mullally affirmed her allegiance to the King as the supreme governor of the Church of England in a customary ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Expressing gratitude for the King’s support, Dame Sarah reflected on paying homage to Queen Elizabeth II as the Bishop of London years ago. She is the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the Church’s history, filling a position left vacant after Justin Welby’s resignation over mishandling an abuse scandal.
Confirmed in her role last month at St Paul’s Cathedral, Dame Sarah’s installation at Canterbury Cathedral is scheduled for the following month. The King was seen exchanging greetings with the Archbishop before she took her oath.
