Those allegations, and Andrew\u2019s repeated appearance in the Epstein files, led to King Charles formally stripping his brother of his title and royal honors in late 2025. Andrew was subsequently <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/world\/united-kingdom\/andrew-king-charles-epstein-royal-crisis-rcna259704\">arrested for suspicion of misconduct<\/a> in public office in February.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, King Charles took the rare step of releasing a public statement \u2014 with his own name on the quote \u2014 saying he supports the investigation and that \u201cthe law must take its course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But King Charles \u2014 and for that matter President Donald Trump, who also appears in the unredacted Epstein files \u201cover a million times,\u201d according to Rep.

moment for the king to give a message to the world that he stands with survivors,\u201d Sky Roberts, Giuffre\u2019s brother, said at the roundtable on Tuesday, just hours before King Charles addresses a joint session of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Khanna\u2019s effort to shift the focus of the king\u2019s visit to Epstein comes a year into his bipartisan blitz to release the Epstein files.<\/p>\n<p>Seeking
