Camilla visited the new facility at Christ Church CE Primary School, which is part of the Libraries for Primaries campaign. The campaign was co-founded by the National Literacy Trust, which the Queen supports as patron, and Penguin Books.
While getting out of her car to enter the school on Wednesday morning, an ITV News reporter asked her: “Good morning, Your Majesty. Will the Royal Family help with the Epstein investigation? Do you have a message for Epstein’s victim’s Your Majesty?”
In the video shared on social media, the Queen appeared to ignore the questions and made a beeline for the entrance, greeting those who were waiting to welcome her.
On Friday, the US Department of Justice released more than three million documents relating to the late convicted sex offender, many of which featured the King’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
While their mention in the Epstein files does not suggest any wrongdoing, the repeated appearance of Andrew and Fergie’s names in the files has sparked public uproar.
The only royal to have commented on the Epstein scandal so far is Prince Edward, who this week said that “it’s all really important, always, to remember the victims and who are the victims in all this”.
He was asked about the scandal while on an education panel in Dubai.
During her visit to the school library on Wednesday, the Queen met pupils brainstorming in a librarian training workshop with children’s author Tola Okogwu and in the school hall, she watched as children took part in an interactive assembly about the wonders of reading led by children’s writer, Chris Smith, and comic author Ramzee.
The Libraries for Primaries initiative was launched in 2021 and brings together charities, publishers and businesses to ensure every UK primary school has the training, resources and book stock needed to embed libraries at the heart of their school reading culture.
