King Charles celebrates historic win amid Andrew's police probe

King Charles is marking a big celebration for Britain while firmly shoving the furore surrounding Andrew in the background.

The monarch had been relying on close-knit and trusted circle of royal family members, who have shown their loyalty to the monarchy during this tough time. Prince Edward, the much-respected brother of the king, delivered some happy news as a reprieve for the royal family.

Buckingham Palace shared a message on behalf of the King congratulating Team GB for a historic win at the Winter Olympics.

“Great Britain’s first-ever gold on the snow! Congratulations to Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale,” the statement read.

They noted that the Duke of Edinburgh had been Milan for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Edward, “as Patron of @gbsnowsport, watched events and met athletes at the Games — celebrating @teamgb’s success in the Mixed Team Snowboard Cross”.

The message from the monarch comes as his disgraced brother is being investigated for his close ties with the convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein. The calls for a probe had gotten stronger after the US Department of Justice dropped the latest tranche of documents in the Epstein files.

The ex-prince, who was ousted from the royal family last October, is being investigated for leaking confidential documents to Epstein from when he was a UK trade envoy in 2010. He is also being looked into allegations of illicit activities concerning the sex-trafficking ring that the financier operated.

In this whole scenario, Edward had been the first senior member of the royal family to comment on the matter, stating that it was “really important” to remember the victims and “who are the victims in all this”.
